It's unbelievable. I know all the ins and outs of the politics universities now, the levels of administration, the correct leverage to put on different levels, who is best to threaten with what, how to move behind certain parts of the bureaucracy. Ironically, I became so good at it, I now work three jobs at the university that screwed me most, jobs that were originally student jobs, but I found ways to work around the system. They wouldn't help me when I wanted to give them a portion of my money, so they now give me their money instead. I'm quite liked within the administration now, and something of a legendary exception from the bureaucratic failures.
