Today, I found out that years and years later, I'm still trash.

Jenny married an AVP for a company. It may be a startup, it may be a small company, but Nacho is AVP, and is probably doing everything he can to make that company grow. For himself, for the people who work there, and of course for his family.

Meanwhile, my greatest achievements in the past 8 years are...
1) Become Team Lead. Not even a manager, just a team lead in charge of developing 16 people into becoming better team members.
2) Become some kind of ISO specialist. In charge of taking care of documentation and ensuring they are followed in the companies I work in.
3) Become a steel mill production manager. Still unable to exercise any power, because the actual running is done by aging consultants who have yet to give any kind of power to me.
4) Find and love Ria. Who I threw away in order to be with Che, who is currently with someone else. All I do is steal time from their relationship, to entertain myself for... 3 hours a day?

In summary, I have achieved nothing of note in the past 9 years, and I feel worse and worse everyday, because I put all my eggs in one basket, and threw that away, perhaps hoping that I'll get a new basket in the future. Fat chance of that happening.
.
Karma will be out to get me, to punish me for what I did to Ria. And I know I can't go back to her, until I manage to improve myself, at least. If returning to Ria is even a possibility.

Jenny must have really felt that staying with me was going to be fruitless, since she found Nacho. Eight years later, she's right. She's now being a good doctor, and Nacho is successful. Meanwhile, I'm rubbish.

Good job me!
