Eating humble pie

Funny how bad news seems to always come at the wrong time, just before my first paper today.

I really appreciated the call and the subsequent clarification. But we definitely blew the chance of being the top team. If only we did things differently before but oh well, it was just the wrong fit.

Plays out just like the stock market eh? If there is too much of a good thing, it will all come crashing down sooner or later. And I take personal responsibility for this failure.

It is a day of eating humble pie. It does not taste good and it is very demoralising. But like all market corrections, it's always for the better.
