Micro-managing

If I were a bo-oss,
I'd tell you what I'd be.
A micro-manager that everybody'd hate,
Soo-diddle-diddle-dee-dee.

I fight that tendency. I see something and want control of it, to make sure it gets done right.

This also manifests itself on a larger scale in my life. Like when I'm planning for the future. I want control of it, to make sure it happens like I want it to.

It's interesting, how the micro and the macro interact.

Like Material Science for instance. You know how some materials are stronger in one direction than another? It's because, on the microscopic level, are more tightly packed with atoms than other directions. This results in more bonds and more strength, all because of the way the atoms are arranged.
