competition

Actual conversation from last week:
How are you?
I'm a bit depressed, to tell the truth. Bad weather. I'm a little sick. My mother has been sick. How are you?
I'm a bit depressed myself.
Well, you are depressed for good reason. It must be hard. Do you have any promise of finding another job?
No real prospects. If this is a competion, I don't think I want to win.
