* As of last Friday I became unemployed.
* On the same Friday I got a mail from a former boss who invited me to work on a short project for him.
* On Saturday, I suddenly became 33.
* I was continuing my hunt for the Holy Grail – i.e. a new job.

So that was it. No wonder I was not really spending too much time on Twitter (which is down most of the time anyway), or Plurk (which starts to replace Twitter for me) or Flicrk (still owing some uploads from my last visit to Bulgaria).
I was busy elsewhere. Now, posting on the blog was another thing I skipped, so I will have to write about the thing that annoyed me last week – why I like LinkedIn and why I think Xing is useless.

Plovdiv is as far as I remember the 3rd biggest city of Bulgaria, and the inner city is really nice. Not huge, but it has a nice park, a walking street, some Greek and roman ruins, and some nice restaurants.

Plus, this is the place where you can find some proof that Bulgaria has some Japanese ties, at least, there is a samurai in the park.

I don’t know what he is looking at, but in retrospect I think it was the weather. Because as sunny Saturday was, all Sunday it was raining. And raining. And raining.

So I spent all my day in the hotel, but at least, hanging out on Twitter, reading blogs, reading a book, sleeping. And not going to visit something around the city.

Of course, on Monday the weather got sunny again.

It is always a heartwarming thing to read about airplane accidents before going to the airport. I know, nothing to worry about, still.

On the bright side there is some hope that we can read blogs on the airplanes in the future.
