I know a designer’s job isn’t rocket science, but that doesn’t mean everyone is qualified to make design decisions. Unfortunately for me, that doesn’t ever seem to stop people.

Right now the market is hot for UX people, and the only ones who seem to be available are the totally un-hireable. I’ve interviewed some doozies.

Well, last week I finally found a couple of qualified, seemingly normal people who aren’t currently booked. We made them verbal offers and they accepted.

But one of them had some issues with the EVB contract. EVB went back and forth and back and forth with him for a week until they had enough.

It got me thinking about how some people seem to approach life with a ‘no’ attitude. They scrutinize things and question things as if the world is on a mission to screw them.
