Lately, I’ve been struggling with internalising my thoughts… and the more I keep bottled up, the more reticent I am to share. Forgetting that WordPress is my safe zone (to an extent) …as long as no names are published.
I simply hate office politics!! Why do there have to be so many sides? I don’t want to be part of the whole ‘them’ and ‘us’ scenario cos it is so lame!
And neither do I want everyone in my business…their curiosity knows no bounds! Small communities can be sooo intrusive. But I’m trying to just get on with stuff and avoid being rubbed the wrong way…get my feathers ruffled…get in a flap and lose my cool (exterior). But the politics sure is tiresome to observe!
Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism.
'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?

I hate office politics too.. Can’t just ignore it.
This is something I was never able to get accustomed to either. I’m glad I didn’t though. It’s really all quite silly when you think about it. Grown adults behaving worse than children when all’s said and done. Truly pathetic.

It is so tiresome! And these are ‘teaching staff’ as well. Must be the worst offenders!

So true Tony! And these are ‘teachers’!
I hear ya! My outlet has always been my blog but then I wrote this and my director made it known to me that he read what I had written…there’s no escape anymore 😦 https://hittheescapekey.com/2015/09/22/subject-office-politics/
