So true. As I entered the workforce I was amazed at how different the challenges I faced were from what I had expected before working in an office/lab setting.

So true. As I entered the workforce I was amazed at how different the challenges I faced were from what I had expected before working in an office/lab setting. I feel like I’m constantly feeling out & soothing the emotions of the people (mostly women and men with whom I would probably get along with in an all-male setting). I’m not good at public relations and frankly I don’t want to be - I wanted to be a scientist. But instead I feel like I am a kid at a daycare.
