I feel like a piece of shit

I was preparing a more learned post, but it will have to wait until tomorrow.
I need to sublimate my feelings.
I was not promoted!!! Fuck off!!!
I really do not understand anything, my company usually promotes people twice per year, I was included in the present round with effect 1st October but it was depressing to see that two people with less experience and less time in the company were promoted instead.

What shall I do? How I should react? It is an horrible feeling, it is not going to be the end of the world. I am still trying to make up my mind to make me believe this can have its positive consequences for my career, maybe it will trigger some kind of reaction as it happened two years ago.

Who knows...

Ground beef or minced beef: Disgusting fact

I always knew minced beef was not a healthy product, but is perplexing to see how unhealthy really is.

I realised that when you cook it in a pan some water usually came from the frozen beef and messed with my olive oil. But as one my flatmates explained me it is not water... it is bloody fat!

I thought he was pulling my leg, how the hell could that increase in liquid be fat melted by the heat? So I decided to let it get cold to see if it solidified and well... it is fat!!! Look what happened when I tried to clean, the water from the tap could not reap the grease... argh!!

Disgusting... I am going to reduce its consumption definitively.

Responsibility and freedom


I read in the following link:
La responsabilidad tiene que ver con la libertad o autonomía del individuo así como su capacidad de comprometerse consigo mismo y con otros hasta el punto de responder de sus acciones.

Today I have something to highlight (at least, not always a boring life).
I have fallen asleep. :D

I am not really used to hands of the clocks, I grew up using digital clocks in my childhood. So I got a little problem today...
My present clock has a small rectangle with the digital hour, so I use to pay more attention to the digital, I usually guide myself with the minute hand so it was 8:10h, spare time to arrive to work.
Arrive at the DLR station, the carriage is almost empty O_O'... strange check the hour X:47 a bit late but not so late (why I did not see the hour is explained by the psychology of perception).

Arrive to Bank... where the hell are the crowds??? Is there a strike? Anything? Look again. 9:53 oups...

Funny is that nobody realized I was late, that is because my job requires lot of autonomy... in those situations I wonder why would happen is somebody in my position just eludes responsibility, I know a bunch of people who will not be able to do it, lack of discipline...

On the other hand, if they realized nobody probably would say anything... it happened two years ago in Hong Kong in probably the most embarrassing moment of my life...
