Helplessly Tethered
The following rambling precipitates from my morning routine of “overthinking everything”. My observations and conclusions which follow are from personal experience. I have not experienced higher education, a university environment. It is with this in mind that I expect criticism and rejection from those with academic standing.

Have I learned anything yet?
Why? Let me begin by asking a question. Can you be yourself if you feel that someone is looking over your shoulder all the time? When you are certain over many years, that the one looking over your shoulder, doesn't like the way you think.

Have you ever sat back and retraced your footsteps?
Unfortunately, I have. The ability to remember interactions from many years past. Remember the dialogue word for word, and do a reevaluation. I recall in the workplace, the conversation with the senior technical specialist. "Howard you are a perfectionist, you will never survive here." Wow, where did that come from? The casual comment made when he passed by, on the way to the coffee machine. Was this statement a result of a general conversation with coworkers? Could he not restrain himself from passing on his or the group's consensus to me? This happened in the technical workplace, soon to be 20 years in my past, by an individual 25 years my junior.
