jenn_unpluggedDo you ever wonder what the heck you're working so hard at something for? I mean, academic freedom is great and all, but after a few years of working towards improving a course, it's a bit frustrating that someone new can come in and say, "No, I think what you've been doing is crap and I'm going to do it my own way, with no good reason other than that I want to."
I know that's how it's supposed to work to an extent (and hey, isn't that what J and I did when we redesigned the course anyway?), but it's still frustrating. And it makes me just want to close my office door and do my own thing even more than I already do, which is really not how I want to spend my career. Have I created this isolation at work for myself, or would it have gone that way no matter what, given the people and the environment?
*sigh*
