Yeah too much "Grateful Dead" Truckin' can lead to brain damage instead of brain drain ;-).

I need to convince myself to enjoy politics more since that is what I have here :)

Noooooooooo!!!!!!! Don't do it,.. don't give in to the dark side! Company politics are evil. It is one of the major reasons why I quit my last ad-agency job (and vowed to never go back). Politics will draw you down into the muk in a heartbeat (I am sure you know this already). It is excedingly hard to keep above them, but I highly recommend to try. My current company is too small to be political (and we are all long time friends too), but it did take me a while to break out of that mindset. Best to keep above it if you can, rather then get into it, in the end people will actually respect you more (at least the ones that count that is).
