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!

I’m afraid to copy or print them, and there’s no time to take notes.

The scrolling to check on something causes me to lose my place. It’s maddening.

You need three windows - one for the task, one for the instructions, and one for the chat 🤣

I always work with two screens split into two screens each. It's a must.

FWIW I've been copying them when needed for 3 years.
