to be clear. this was training specificallly for my department.

my department that does. ops support. the ops support department. we do variations on [tasks] 99% of our time, to support ops. like. all of them.

none of that falls under PM, apprently, lol!! good luck motherfuckers I guess!!! 🤡🙃💀

anyway chaser to this was we sat through 1hr of "training", got to the Q&A bit, 1st q. was 'when do we use PM / when don't we, bc we mostly do [variations on a task] and that seems excessive? everytime?'

"those aren't projects, that's BAU!"

BRO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE LAST HOUR OF MY LIFE THEN

like I understand project management. but also. what the fuck are you TALKING ABOUT, training guy. I don't think the last sentence was actually a sentence, I think you just got a grab bag of Business Words and read them out in the order you pulled them with the occasional 'and' or 'the' for flavour

oooh, ok, everything I've seen mention that said it was apple only, which made it look like a total nonstarter, but their site actually has both a web and android tab, so ty, I will look into that!

also having looked at a lot of the current 'best RSS readers!' lists...idk. feelsbadman.jpg

I don't want to have to spend hours maintaining the hosting myself! or only have 10 feeds! or only get a mixed firehose of all posts! or bootstrap an android proxy!

which feels like a very low bar, and yet.

yeaaaah; feels like a canary in the mine w/r/t being pushed towards must pay to have... any functionality, tbh.

(Would theoretically pay for a RSS -AI but +the features I want; getting approval for a sub from work for a (work)account instead of just buying my own for my own use will be a PITA tho)

can't self host for Reasons; currently on inoreader buuut AI incursion is making me less than impressed with the idea of staying on them.

recognise I might be looking for a unicorn, at this point 💀

could literally see the thought process go 'huh sound. who left their phone on loud > birds?? >why birds?? > WHAT birds??? > oh australian> wait hang on AUSTRALIAN BIRDS > wait hang on TEAMS CALL?? LOUD??

lmao I am very much already on tumblr and have been since. I'm not doing that maths on a friday arvo of a week like this, since pretty sure my blog can now go for its p plates or just about.

slightly different vibe I'm after, but ty.

fans like for air, or fans like for media/sportsball/etc?

in either case. op drop yr essay, I wish to ponder it. (plz)

no, yeah, it's the fucking worst. keeping all the plates spinning and also *filling* them is like. so fucking hard; you boss is being a massive dick, if an annoyingly common one.

mean. fair, but mean.

(also i had already forgotten so like. 🤡)

oh, yeah. most commonwealth law runs like that, afaik; as long as it's in your area of practise (and your normal fees will be covered/you actually have time to take the case), you're like. obligated to take the case, no matter what - at least for barristers; solicitors (here) can refuse a case.

honestly every time I remember US lawyers don't work on first cab off the rank rules, I go on a whole ass journey of comprehension which I then promptly forget until the next time I have reason to internalise that fact.
