How does your job affect your personal life? Can you just go out the door and be your jolly self afterwards or are there people or cases that affect you in any way?

I was passing by a funeral home the other day and I thought to myself, what if you're naturally a happy person and need to be serious and sad /empathic with grieving customers? I don't think I'd ever be able to do it, thinking of emotional exhaustion. So this is what made me ask.

thanks for doing this ama!

You probably won't see this - a tennis player also did a breast reduction a few years ago, she was having pain and it was not helping her tennis at all. She went from a DD to a C. At the time, people were like "oh what a fool to give that away" but she never looked back and continued to work even harder...

She's Simona Halep, currently number 5 WTA.

So I guesa what I'm trying to say is congratulations and power to you!

No, Dracula is a western invention. People can get peeved because they'd rather you talked about how beautiful the country is or how nice the people are etc rather than ask about Dracula because the character really is not part of Romanian folklore.

In my opinion Romania should do more to take advantage of Dracula and the tourists the story can bring.

How did your coordinator and reviewers react to the subject? Because it's an anonymous Internet forum, I mean. Years ago I did my BA thesis on blogs and while it was well received by the reviewers, when I presented it in a larger context people did dismiss the subject a bit because Internet. So I'm just wondering if the validity of the subject was questioned

Thanks for replying - and completely agree : the discourse is the same and knowing who the people are is irrelevant and overrated. Good luck with your future projects!
