Oof, I think I figured out why I'm frustrated with work stuff (not the actual work, just processes that surround it).
Project manager is an ESTJ and I'm INTJ. Our communication styles clash. Too much asinine processes to "make things efficient."
They need too much detail and don't understand what I am saying, I get annoyed with being bossed to the point of providing what I consider irrelevant, excessive details in a technical manner that they don't understand, because they're not a programmer, but insist on being provided these details. I know I just confuse people when I am forced to be as detailed as humanly possible. I don my best to summarise an issue in enough detail to help someone understand.
I've done some googling and saw some posts on Quora and reddit about people having similar issues, so it must be a thing?
It's so tiring. I don't know what to do. We've done MBTI workshops at work, because the company I work for sells MBTI assessments, but we've never gone in depth, and I've asked my manager if we can.1 -
My work lappy just now invoked an OOMKiller.

My TEN YEAR OLD twin girls came to me with a TIMESHEET and PIE CHARTS to explain to me why "Our household would benefiter (sic) a Nintendo Switch".
They... actually did what for an intern would be a passable data storytelling job (orthographic errors aside).
They explained how they would share the videogame between themselves (because it is not allowed at their school, not that we would let them bring it there anyway) in a colorful timesheet spanning four days a week.
They even put a pie chart showing how most of the time nobody will be using it.
I feel at the same time immensely proud, scared, and a wee bit freaked out that they came with all that to me but with their mother they just talked. Do I seem so distant that they feel they can't convince me without data? I gotta watch out for using work jargon at home.
Anyway, first "interns" that I have ever seen using a pie chart with the appropriate number of classes (even if highly biased).2 -
Out of 24 hours in the day it takes 10 seconds to accept a delivery. How come the delivery person knocks on the door precisely at the same moment I sit down on a pooper..? I mean, it must be a law of nature or smth. It can't be a coincidence...1

I hope people who store data in unstructured binary format without documenting what the the actual logic is have a separate room in hell.
I hate this legacy s***pile of visual basic code that has this abbreviated function names everywhere and the 'developer' (really should be name jack***) instead of documenting his custom solutions just thought out some custom data formats and wrote really long and bad code around it to transform and decode it. Clr sql makes it impossible to debug so wherever you are my dear predecessor I hipe you rot in hell1 -
I've spent too much time online... I'm in a zoom meeting, I missed what someone said, reached to my keyboard to rewind then realised it was live... 🙈

Survived my second layoff at this company in less than 2 years. Feeling bitter sweet.
When I joined there was about 50 people here and now there is a little more than 15.
I think the way this company has done the layoffs have been humiliating to the people getting laid off. The “higher ups” will request that everybody be in the office for a company-wide meeting around noon. Then at around 11am that day, they will individual take people into conference rooms and lay them off. By the time the company-wide meeting starts, they’ve laid off all the people they needed.
Why lay people off infront of the whole rest of the company? I don’t see any reason5 -
everyone comment on every video on youtube is an unoriginal thought copying all the others
and yet they are all smug saying "AI could have never done this"
look in a mirror rubes, you've already lost
but i guess they'll never recognize
yours truly,

also, true "moral" of the story is that the meaning of life is your hot highschool girlfriend? wtf?
it is probably true that zoomers are the most lost of any generation ever
kinda ironic when we have easier access to every bit of compiled human information than ever before
oh well4 -
Go to toilet, turn the lights on, lock the door. Now I feel safe. I feel everything's gonna be alright.1

learning about neural nets I'm realizing...
ummm I didn't recognize this random-ass line as a "7". I thought someone drew a space ship or something. is my brain's neural net just not working?
I don't think I recognize dogs by visuals... I smell them...
I don't notice the edges of T-shirts and shit. I just recognize them as colors... I recognize everyone wearing clothes by the colors. not the edges.
am I retarded2 -
Dual ported RAM is somethin i kinda theorised to exist. And since today i know it does.
For those unaware: Its RAM that can be acessed via two address and data lines combined and with hardware semaphores.1 -
at one point documents were useful things to align people to the relevant information to the tasks they must complete for everything to work out
now documents are a ritual, and relevant information is even forgotten or omitted and considered secondary to the document existing and looking like a professional document
I wonder if this is how all industries evolve
at one point there were people who knew what they were doing, they created processes so nobody is left behind
and over time, whoever made the processes, the spirit for their existence, is forgotten
and you're left with empty rituals, so devoid of their original function, the humans subjected to these things, crushed by them, can't even discern what their usage is
evidently if you put monkeys in an enclosure with some apples up a tree with a mechanism that if a monkey goes up the tree and takes an apple it sprays all the other monkeys in the enclosure with water
the monkeys will learn to pull down any monkey trying to go up the tree, because they don't wanna get sprayed
and this will keep going, generations will change and yet they'll still religiously pull down the monkeys, in a ritual... nobody remembers why only that their parents did this to them, so they do it to others
if you take the trap away, they never figure it out, which is how this story is typically told
but regardless of if the trap is there or not
wouldn't you wanna know and see it for yourself instead of following empty rituals?!
and what of people who erroneously view things as traps, and pull people down, but they were just seeing things?!
self limiting myths to doom the ages! -
When people say that Gen Z is fucked, I used to scoff at them thinking it's not that bad as they make it out to be.
But I've witnessed it first hand now, it's real. Totally real. I only spoke about my salaries in my resume video and people are actually thanking me for telling the truth.
They're soooo used to getting told lies to, that someone even speaking a little bit truth is mind blowing to them. It breaks my heart, honestly.4 -
Got an interview request for a new job. They mostly do WordPress. I don't want to touch WordPress.
Talked to the Project Manager woman on the phone about the job, seems decent.
Sounds like a nice place to work at, but I just can't do the WordPress thing, man.6 -
We have gotten a rebranding 'document' that we have to implement. It contains 1 image, 4 colors and a new font excluding the font name. Nothing more.
How the fuck did the company pay so much for something so bare bones...3 -
