To the field biologist (apparently studying vermilion flycatchers?) who sent in this image to Postsecret:

Postcard includes a torn picture of a bird, a point count data sheet, and the text “My depression skews my data. I feel like a bad field biologist.”
I feel for you, whoever you are. Please seek help, and know that mental illness doesn’t make you a bad person, let alone a bad biologist.
Hey, have you seen? There’s a big giant YouTube add right below your post about field biologist being depressed… how depressing is that?
Wait, what? What YouTube ad? I’m not seeing any, and this is weird.
Well, the first time I came to this page to see your post, there was a youtube video almost as big as the picture you posted here, so I thought it was part of your post. But when I clicked on it, BAM! It was an ad! Then when it was done playing, it was gone! Weird, eh?
Is it cold up there right now? Today Austin will get to +25C then ~+30C tomorrow… it’s gonna be horrible!
Weird indeed. There are not supposed to be ads on this blog, to the best of my knowledge, and I certainly don’t see any.
It is fairly cold here, but I basically don’t go outside these days so I don’t care. It’s a little funny, though, that the main story on the news the past few days has been “It’s so cold in Canada! What’s going on ?!”
