    Uruguay's Vice-President Raúl Sendic has stepped down over accusations he used public funds for personal use while heading a state company.

    New Vice-President: Lucia Topolansky, Pepe Mujica's wife.

    • In Spain a lot pf people still think Mujica was a nice guy... even knowing his dark past (years ago a tv program magnified his government years)OBBTKN
    • Lucia again in the gov. can't be a good newOBBTKN
    • what dark past? I thought he was pretty cool guy, or at least he looks like a really decent man in the interviews I saw.uan
    • didn't he start legalization of drugs?uan

    this weekend I went looking out for new opportunities, so I manage to get invited to this meet up thing with ppl from different industries of the local web scene and lots of young UX, UI, dev guys.

    all this guys are from IT or business, there's no designers in that scene... but they own the local web sites. some years ago designers owned the web, nowadays it's just IT and business ppl.

    Nonetheless I felt quite comfortable after some conversations, it turns out, they are looking for solutions that designers know how to process.
    I found myself talking about design history and great minds of my field those people don't know about, I had the impression my knowledge was really of some value to them.
    So maybe giving lectures and talks about design methods and process to this new 'webmasters' is the way to go.

    So I got a load of calls to my work number on Saturday morning, which I was wholly oblivious to until I got in that afternoon, as I'd left my phone here.

    Turns out the 'studio cat' had snuck in to my studio here just as I was locking up late on Friday night, and had been heard meowling when people came back in the next meaowning.

    They'd ended up getting someone who has access to all studios to come in and let the cat out.

    I was honestly wondering what the fuck they'd expect me to do had I picked up the call on Saturday morning and had otherwise been off — waste two hours of my day on a round trip to let some fuckwit cat out of somewhere it shouldn't've been in the first place? Fuck that!

    Seemingly Beigel (the cat's name) knew this in advance, so has evidently left me a small present somewhere, which my nose although aware of, is unable to locate exactly.

    I fucking hate cats. Well, other people's cats.

    Well, other people. Why is there a cat here in the first place?

    it's ok, I've only got two clients in later today, so we can call share in this delicious subtle aroma.

    Why do payments do Uber turn up in my account as 'HELP.UBERHELP.UBER.COMNL' ?

    NL based implies some sort of tax sheltering, which isn't entirely unexpected, but the "HELP UBER HELP" is amusing.

    .

    I only use Uber in emergencies, such as yesterday when my partner left her shit to beyond the very last minute, of course

    • Mine show up the same, but with CA instead of NL at the end. I'm thinking the HELP part is the website you go to for billing questions?monospaced
    • Ah, yeah - probably. Just wondered if it was a lonesome plea from someone trapped in their no-doubt-jungle accounts department.detritus

    Some employers make it as difficult as possible to apply to their jobs. If I'm lucky that means nobody's bothered and mine will be the only application they get...

    A little update on a Tuesday afternoon while I sip coffee outside on our deck.

    I was let go on a Wednesday, had 3 interviews Thursday, 3 on Friday, 2 more on the following Tuesday. By Wednesday I had landed a freelance from home job for 40hrs of my time. By Thursday I had accepted an offer at a household name company 15min from my home.

    I busted ass and finished the freelance job so this week I get to relax and finish a few small to-dos around the house while I wait to start my new contract on the 18th.

    I guess I didn't realize how shitty I felt working at my last gig. I was irritable, restless, anxious,... now, I'm a totally different person and I feel absolutely amazing.

    Bonus point... I still get 6 more weeks of severance while I get paid for the freelance and new job. And yes, I'm enjoying watching my old company drown. :)

    Cheers.

    Anyone here take a soul cycle class?

    • I don't think you get too much of a "workout", you're basically riding a bike. It's the most expensive and I've never seen anyone shredded because of it.robotron3k
    • robo that's what I thought, watched a couple vids on what they do, it's basically spinning on crack. spinning is nice but I'm already leanbklyndroobeki
