Changes

During the past 6 months, I must have used my office phone more than I did during its previous 11.5 years.
I now feel drained and stressed because of all the interactions I have to lead and drive forward not because of my research and development, and results I may or may not get.
I used to satisfy my social interaction needs outside work with friends and family, now I need peace and quiet to recharge.
I now understand my quiet friends more ;)
