Every time I think I have self-sufficiency down pat, something really embarrassing happens to prove me wrong.
I just started an immuno in the lab. I needed the xylene, but of course, I couldn't open the bottle. I tried to save face by asking a girl nearby, but she didn't have any luck either. It took a lot of steeling my nerves to find a guy somewhere in the lab and ask him for help (no one from my group is here). So, so embarrassing. I felt like a little girl asking dad to open the jam jar. Except he wasn't my dad, and I'm not a little girl.
I may never live this one down.
But there is a lesson to be learned in this. As much as you'd like to think you can make it on your own, there are times when you need other people. And it's nice to have them there.
Peace and love,
S.
