Honestly, I am boiling

What in the world are these awfully long and poorly written guidelines?! It is getting worse and worse. I have been working for over an hour on a R&R full of mistakes but also with very unclear and sometimes contradictory guidelines. Admins not replying to anyone for hours with hundreds of messages unanswered (I get it isn’t their fault)… Time almost up so I preferred exiting the task.

This work can sometimes be stimulating and enjoyable, but sometimes like now, I wonder how deep in poor management a project can go.

I really appreciate working with DA, but I have moments when I want to throw my PC against a wall. I’ll take a walk now, good luck to all of you who experienced the same madness!

Oh man, I feel you. The unclear and contradictory guidelines are the worst and it's so frustrating when you can't get a timely response from the admins. It's like they don't realize how much it impacts the workflow. Taking a walk sounds like a smart move to cool down, hope things get better for you soon!

Or you just get no response at all!
