conv: My co-worker discovered the cure for type two diabetes before me_comma_ and I just can't believe it. It was supposed to be my Nobel Prize_comma_ not his. Now my dad will never respect me and my accomplishments. Speaking of co-workers_comma_ one of my colleagues just found the cure for type 2 diabetes_comma_ and I honestly couldn't be more annoyed about it. Wait_comma_ why would you be annoyed by that? That's amazing! Yeah_comma_ yeah_comma_ yeah. Amazing and all_comma_ 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. I think you need to look at the bigger picture_comma_ 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.
