You may have already realized that I am blessed with friends. I’ve recently discovered that I’m surprisingly introverted (according to the MBTI diagnostic test lol), so I’m lucky that many of the few people I talk to are good friends.
I treat an acquaintance who is a career counselor as a friend. And I asked her opinion about my job-related worries. Until then, we had exchanged views about the future of research support and the kind of human resources we needed. But this was the first time I had asked her for advice on my concerns.
Perhaps because of that, she was surprised to see me in a bit of a depressed mode. Even I get down sometimes because I am also human (^_^).
