I also hate inefficiency and drama. In the community effort I mentioned, people were DRIVING ME NUTS with their inability to focus and get things done and get their egos and personal nonsense out of the way. Now I sound sort of Aspergers-y, but I have the social awareness to know that I have to keep all this frustration inside and deal with all the emotionality and put out the fires. But really, people. Be adults. Get over it. Fix it and move on.
Uh, so yeah. This is exactly why I'm not a boss.
Thank you for saying this--I had exactly the same response after trying
to join both our neighborhood church (mainly for DD's benefit, as she
enjoyed the choir) and also a local flyball group (dog fun!). Most of
the personal interaction seemed to revolve around who would be IN CHARGE
and griping about decisions other people had made. I can get plenty
of that at work, thank you very much. Very disappointing.
