I dunno what I'm doing, I'm just going to / _/ / /
type in this box. Cool? Cool. I feel like I \_______/_\___/____/\___/____/_

Infinitely frustrated with work. I work \________/\________/\___/____/
pretty closely with a team who's job it is
is to collate data and provide insights based on that data but they are the
bane of my existence.
I like real things. I like truths. I feel like if a = a then you have to
accept that it is a, even if you expected it to be b and want it to be c. This
leads to us clashing a lot and always leaves me really frustrated. I can't
understand how people who's role is to report on what is happening can't
understand that they're not supposed to be making it up. It's baffling.
A recent example is a measure that should be summarised by the state they
live in. Makes sense, works fine, but one person who lives in x had x in their
profile and they wanted them to appear in y. For a second I legitimately
couldn't understand what they were asking. If this person lives in x why the
fuck should their data appear in y?
I'm not crazy, right? I mean, if you're just going to make shit up why are
you fucking reporting on it at all? Just throw some numbers in boxes. They do
this all the time, moving figures around so they "look right" even though they
WERE right. It hurts my head to think about.
Since I'm rattling on, my other gripe is they always approach our team like
we're the ones who have no idea. In that same example above they came to me
complaining that our system was "broken" and "wrong" because it was reporting
accurately on the information they provided and not on their clumsy whims.
Fuck off, man. It's no wonder my whole team scatters around the building
rather than sitting together in our designated space, if these dildos can't
find us we can actually get some work done.
Anyway.
Nothing much else going on. All I do is work and eat and sleep, my man.
Watching a lot of makers on Youtube in the evenings and getting frustrated
that I have no space to work in, most things I want to do are dead in the
water because I have nowhere to even plan things out, let alone start messing
with and assembling things. Only thing I feel like I'm working on these days
is a long list of things I'd like to work on.
Trying to find anything better is crushing, everything is just too
expensive unless we move way out into the suburbs.
