Because I am a engineer, my work is to do some code / programming for computer chips. I feel upset. I think I can work more efficiently. I think I can work confidently, and I think I should handle the issue independently. I have a buddy, she can help me with some issue, if I have a blocking issue I will ask my buddy, but I think i can think of my own idea / think of it myself.
