Key ring

Short post, I am dying again :P
Today I received a gift from the Colegio de Psicólogos, the board decided to give us a key ring... well not everyone, just the ones that had already celebrated their birthdays this year, the unlucky ones will receive it in their birthdays. It looks cool, I really like it... and that's it for today :P

New grounds...

So, today I went to some schools to promote my Vocational Orientation project, I went to the territories of my... assistant (still I don't know how to call her :P), we went downtown Juarez, I really don't know that place other than a few blocks that I had to use to go to El Paso and a few other places just around there.

I thought that it would be ugly there... and I wasn't wrong :P, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, and fortunately it was pretty quiet, although on the way back I saw a man get out of a house and he just fell, just like that, I saw him and changed directions, I really wasn't comfortable as to go help him, or do something, I asked my assistant if she saw it and she told me that no, she just followed me, but told me that it was pretty common, that maybe it was only a drunk guy.

I now know a little more of this city... a place that I don't really want to know :(

Frustration...

Today I received a new patient, the brother of the girl who's mom wanted a female psychologist, since the patient is underage I had to first interview the mom, and according to her there are many things that can be worked here. After the interview with the mom I wanted to talk with the son, it's not always possible due to time restrictions, but since finished a little early with my other patient I took advantage of that time.

The boy is 16 years old and he was so disinterested that I found hard to continue with the interview, at least twice I had to feign that I was writing something to think of what to ask, I never had that problem, but I never had a patient that wasn't interested in therapy, I felt a little frustrated, but I will try to make the best out of this and not frustrate, I will give my best shot and if he continues to not be interested, well, to hell with him (I know that this might not be appropriate to say this, but know I am not the psychologist, I am me) :P, I won't force anything therapy on anyone.

Netflix...

I have always wanted to have Netflix here in Mexico, a few weeks ago it was made available here, I knew about it since last week but I wasn't able to register since I don't have a Credit/Debit Card, or that's what I thought. I was cleaning a drawer and found an old Debit Card that I had a few years ago, I haven't used it for a long time and it is obviously deactivated.

Since I had nothing to loose I tried to register with it and lucky me it  worked, I have my 1 month trial, and since it too isn't expensive I will pay for it, maybe I can even convince my brother and/or sisters to share the expenses if they want to use it too :P.

Assumptions...

Why is it that just because you where born in a certain place people think you should know, be interested or at least heard of something related to its "culture"?

A few days ago I was talking with some friends at my work, I don't know why they started to talk about a show or comedians by the name "Las Lavanderas" and I didn't know about them, I never watched the show or even heard the name of it, or at least I don't remember it.

My friends didn't believed me that I had never seen that show, and where questioning me if I was serious when I said that, I was dead serious, I have never watched that show and I don't care if I never watch it, I am not fond of Mexican comedy. The "discussion" lasted at least 10 minutes and they didn't believe me that I have never watched that show, they showed me some images and a video about them.

At some point one of my friends said that it wasn't possible to not know about it since it "it is so famous", that I at least should have watched them, or heard about them, I said that I don't watch tv and my friend said that it it was impossible, that just because I live in this city I should have at least heard of it, to which I responded that I wasn't joking, I don't know what you are talking about, the "discussion" ended there, but they where somewhat surprised because I have never seen a show. People act stupid sometimes (most of the times) :P

Dying...

I feel like I am dying of tiredness, today was a long day, a cool day, but long. First of all I wake up early (since I can't seem to be able to fall sleep again after I wake up) and finished writing some code for my work, I then went to tune up a computer I had to repair, it wasn't booting, windows started to load then it restarted every time, easy to repair, but since that computer had not been used for over a year it had many things I decided to update some drivers, software, etc., it was at least a little more decent than it was after that. While doing this I was testing that the code I wrote was working as intended and backing up my work. As far as I can tell it is working fine, the way it is supposed to do, but since people not every time do the things they are supposed to it might need a little more work in the near future, but for now it is good.

In the evening Sergio and I went to a friends house to hang out, we eat there (I prepared some discada), had some drinks (obviously coca cola) and played some darts, after that Sergio and I stayed outside my house just talking about music, Dream Theater specially and we sang some songs. It was pretty cool, I don't think that there is a band that I enjoy as much as Dream Theater. And now I am here at my bed writing almost falling sleep.

Chrome...

For the last 2 days Google Chrome has been acting weird, I don't know why but it won't load anything, not even my localhost, it just stands there "loading", but it isn't doing anything, I already re-installed it and deleted all cache and cookies, and at first it was working fine, but today it started again with the same problem, I don't know but I'll be checking for viruses and malware, and I will be using Firefox in the mean time :P


It stayed that way while I wrote this in Firefox :/
