Dear Good Job, I'm a man in his mid-30s who holds a specialist role in an organization I like. I've recently started sharing a closed workspace with an early 20s intern who works in a different department. She's a nice, professional, bright younger person who seems to be doing quite well in her role, and is generally an ideal person to share an office with.
