I'm totally new to blogging and the purpose of my blog is to express my views, frustrations, challenges and experiences of working in a quango. I enjoy writing and maybe the blogs will help keep me sane whilst giving me an outlet for expression, particularly working in an environment where things are so hush hush. Also, writing is supposed to be healthy (i'm into healthy!) and perhaps it will also open up doors of new opportuntity. Who knows, but these blogs will focus on my perception of life working in a quango and should be of interest to someone out there anyways!
I started working for a quango nearly three years ago. It has been a huge shock and a huge challenge. Suppose with all jobs there are some extreme characters. One of the chief officers in this organisation is a real "mad hatter" so some good reading should be forthcoming of the various quirky people I work with. The most shocking experience for me, beginning work in a quango, was the rather bizare management practices and politics within the workplace. Not enough time to start today; hopefully I can get back to my site tomorrow to start my blogs (like I say, this is all new!).
