#manual monday

[vignellicenter]

It’s Manuals Monday! Manuals Monday is back! On Mondays we feature an excerpt from a graphics standards manual from the archives.

Today’s manual is for the Urban Land Institute from 1992.

Back in 2017 we shared some brochures for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and recently we uncovered these Graphics Guidelines in the archives.

According to the proposal from Vignelli Associates, ULI is the “preeminent educational and research organization serving the real estate industry.” In 1992, Vignelli Associates proposed creating a membership kit and a promotional brochure which could later be applied to an institution-wide graphic identity.

As always, if you know more about this project or worked on this project, we would love to hear from you!

I tried to cross my legs on the plane and my hip hurts so bad on my right side I had to grab my pant leg and use mostly the force of my arms to get it over

maybe it's because i've been working with computers for the past several decades, but

Comparing the crowdstrike issue to Y2K crisis of all things is bonkers to me

The impact of Y2K was a couple of malfunctioning operations in some select businesses (granted, one of them was a power plant, but still)

The impact of the crowdstrike bug is so so so much bigger than that. If anything, this is exactly like a large-scale virus crisis.

This isn't another Y2K. This is MyDoom 2.0

which is almost hilarious considering crowdstrike's purpose.

every day i shuffle my queue once it hits the maximum 1,000 posts and it's up to the random number gods when any given post leaves

obviously no need to specify what company u work for or anything but why do u need to travel so often for work! i hope ur getting compensated for this aaaaa

i’m a field merchandiser for a retail company, so I work at my home location day to day, but I travel to help other stores in my district with special projects on an as-needed basis for a few days at a time. other stores can weasel out of sending their field merch on a project on account of their store sucking so bad at the moment they absolutely need that extra body, but in general my store is the best in our district, so I’m almost always on the list lol.

I also travel to help with new store openings in my region, which is usually a hateful month long process. store planners tend to lack souls due to being on the road mon-fri every week of the year; there’s a sort of glazed look in their eyes that gets stronger every project. this makes it easy to commit wage theft on driving days <3 and yes I do get compensated for all travel work, they cover my mileage and hotel on top of of my regular wages, plus a food budget. it’s designed so that I do make a little extra when I travel to incentivize me to not quit on the spot when I start losing it in the hotel on week 3.

I hope your week gets off to a better start!

I started playing the first Fallout game (on older coworker’s recommendation) and the other day he left the original packaging for the game on my desk and it’s insanely cool

also the biggest tip I took from the manual was multiple saves. I accidentally killed Dr. Morbid bc I decided to be nosy but he was like “well shit you’ve discovered my secret lab you have to die now” and I have no idea if there are consequences of killing him so multiple saves to the rescue ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

So I finally adulted on Wednesday after my first nursing exam and called the doctor. They sent a patient release and file release form to my previous one (don’t even get me started on them) and the previous doctors never even sent it over…. It’s been 2 months since then, but thank god for having family members high up in the nursing field that could get my shot records for me!!! With all of the shit I have to get done for nursing, I have one today and one Monday. I need a physical, flu shot, TB test, and maybe talking to her about starting adhd meds…. Lets see how this appointment goes
