My boss called in sick today. I have to ask for help with the work, and I feel upset about it.
gpt
I'm sorry to hear that. Do you think your boss will be out for long?
human
He said he'd be out all week, so it's going to be a challenging few days.
gpt
Well, don't worry too much. I'm sure you'll manage just fine with a little help from your colleagues.
human
I know, but I hate having to rely on other people. I like being self-sufficient.
gpt
I understand, but sometimes we all need a little help. Remember when you helped me last month when I was going through a tough time?
human
Yeah, of course. You're always there for me, too.
gpt
Exactly. We all support each other when we need it. That's what being a team is all about.
human
You're right. I appreciate your encouragement. It makes me feel better about asking for help.
gpt
I'm glad I could help. And, hey, once your boss gets back, you can learn from him and be even more self-sufficient in the future.
human
Good point. Thanks for the positive perspective.
