I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]
rules and regulations are changed every year and they're so vague or contradictory nobody really knows what they mean
And there are procedures here that no one knows what they mean or why we follow them, because they were made up a very long time ago by a man writing them down in ink with a quill, in an age when only men who owned property were allowed to vote.
I have questioned many things in the department where I work and I always get the same stock answer "we do it that way because it's always been done that way" but nobody can tell me why.
But we also suffer change for change sake, because some tin pot Senior Civil Servant wants to build a little empire for him/herself and make a name for themselves, they move on to head another institution and have long since disappeared by the time others have to suffer the consequences.
I'm not saying it's better, worse or the same in Poland, every country has it's own brand of bureaucracy.
As for working with dinosaurs, I probably have more experience than the average paleantologist
