Yeah, I've been very ill-tempered in these last 3 months.
It's just that in Portugal the economy is in the dumps, and because of that businesses are very reluctant to hire new staff, so freelancing is the more popular choice. Except that sometimes freelancing doesn't help much when there really isn't much work available either.
But that's life really, it'll kick you in groin every once in a while, but focusing only on the negative side of life won't really help either.
