Yeah…

It's 80F and sunny(ish) today.

[Seul]

It's gonna be 26F here tomorrow during the day, and I highly, highly prefer that over 26C°…

I lost my faithful @Papa Nui hat yesterday.

I was walking along a bridge over railway lines when it got caught by a gust of wind, and blown onto the tracks.

Also, on the ongoing job hunt front, I had an interview for a tech lead role today.

The guy I spoke with (technical PM) turned me down because I didn't know a couple of libraries (RxJava and Dagger), which are the new hotness in Android. His argument was that as a lead, I had to know more than my underlings.

It's not that hard for an engineer to learn a new API, and this was a permanent position…

Frustrating for you @Graeme  ::)

[Graeme]

Thanks @den1mhead. It's frustrating.

I'll sort a new job out eventually.

[rocket]

Sure you will !!!

You brits are pretty big sissies when it comes to real winter and snow, aren’t you?

I've been in England for 1.5yrs, and I lived in Germany for 3.5yrs before… German winter is more harsh, but far more pleasant, lol

Yes.  It is extremely embarrassing…..
