[usr] Speaking of co-workers, one of my colleagues just found the cure for type 2 diabetes, and I honestly couldn't be more annoyed about it. [sys] Wait, why would you be annoyed by that? That's amazing! [usr] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing and all, but it was supposed to be MY discovery. I wanted that Nobel Prize and the trip to Stockholm. Now I don't think my dad will ever think I've accomplished anything. [qst] [None] [bhv] I'm in a negative mood, please comfort me.
I think you need to look at the bigger picture, though. Someone cured a disease that has caused so much suffering for so many people. Though I suppose to can be both excited for the discovery and jealous at the same time. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
My co-worker discovered the cure for type two diabetes before me, and I just can't believe it. It was supposed to be my Nobel Prize, not his. Now my dad will never respect me and my accomplishments.
