what I am about to say is true
what I just said was a lie
when you spent
eleven years being
too busy deciding and
leading my career
to consider what
I had offered
even while you
were asking of me
what I had to offer
you created an
anxiety in my
practice which
couldn’t be resolved
unless I ignored myself

anxiety wormhole: on
career wormhole: just saying, is all – III
identity wormhole: silent crash // … / after all
managerialism wormhole: my life is not your market
performance management wormhole: the Lamp
results-led education wormhole: something simple to offer
teaching wormhole: fractured –
time wormhole: deepening with each step

I think it’s called “micromanagement”, in a Love relationship it’s called abuse 🙂
PS: Ended up going on a Batman marathon last night because of our little exchange, I forgot how amazing “year one” was. The opening sequence, is poetry.

micromanagement … on an institutional level; and when it’s in public service (… ‘a’ relationship, if not – quite – love) it is, indeed, abuse, even though it may be called ‘professional development’;
re: PS: when you’ve done with ‘year one’ have a look at:

I think I’d better stop before I am accused of micromanagement …
