So that explains everything.
Chris, management is OK, and the level/odor of politics varies from company to company. I would recommend you focus on project leadership to see if you have a taste for the issues associated with dealing with various personality types, without getting saddled with a lot of administrative tasks. It's also less political than the move into low/middle management, and it's good preparation if you do want to move up. Another thing to remember, there's more movement in management, and the politics you suffer today, may be completely different tomorrow.
One more thought, if you ever want to start your own business, it might be useful to have a little management experience...although it's certainly not a requirement.
