the literal worst

any other ADHD folks feeling like the combination of software enshittification and multi-factor authentication (pick up your distraction box phone and enter a code in order to log in) is making it harder and harder to do well at work

the shift from desktop programs to web-based applications has permitted thesale and rollout of software with, i swear, some of the worst fucking user experience designs known to man. something I could do in two clicks a year ago now requires eight clicks and some typing. fucking WHAT

i have to maintain focus on a task i'm not actually even DOING YET long enough to BE ABLE TO JUST REACH THE TASK. i used to be able to reach documents i needed almost thoughtlessly because I could see the file tree where the document I needed was contained. but now everything is indexed and documents can only be reached by (a) thinking of them in the abstract and pulling them down from the database, or (b) going into the client's "folder" and filling out the appropriate fields.

I get to finish a task in one tab and go back to the tab where I can get a new task, and oh! That tab has timed out. And now I have to log in AGAIN. Despite being in a single browser, working continuously, this whole time. I want to cry. Every day, multiple times a day, I have to STOP what I'm doing and fix a screen and then RESUME what I was doing and my brain! doesn't do that! my brain doesn't do that! my BRAIN DOESN'T DO THAT! and I'm TIRED! i used to be good at this job and now it's like the software has been designed to fuck with me specifically and i am FUCKING STRUGGLING

“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease.” The key difference: “the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change.”

You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.

the joy of working with middle school aged children is that, regardless of how long you've been doing it, they will always find novel ways to annoy and confuse you, which is okay because that's the natural state of the middle school aged child. anyway suffice it to say that for the past three weeks of school my 6th grade class has been greeting me at my door by lining up outside of it, playing the national anthem, and saluting me as i walk in.

i just dont think J Jonah Jameson would be an ally like that
