while failing miserably as the duo bar trivia team, dave told me he is the type of person who likes to be micro-managed. i cant believe i even know someone who likes to be micro-managed, it is such a foreign concept to me. is it possible that's not a bad thing, by definition? i suppose so, people may just have their preferences. but whenever you hear someone talking negatively about someone's manegerial style they always say "and he insists on micro-managing everything, it drives me crazy." so, there are people out there that do want to be micro-managed. dave is difinately this, btw. when we are cooking dinner together, while i am across the room doing something else, he will say, while standing next to the cook book, "what do i do now?", or he will stand at the pantry door and say "where is the sugar?" i am having a hard time accepting that this is ok, that he will still be a successful ___ what ever he wants to be. can you teach someone how to figure out things on their own? i dont think so. am i making him out to be the biggest moron in the world right now? probably. he is getting a phd in one of the hardest fields from one of the worlds top universities, but he has the absent minded professor thing to a fault.
