Work, websites

Sometimes I feel like adding to the support tickets, "Look, I'm not a complete moron, but I inherited the running of this website from a series of people who either WERE complete morons, or didn't believe in documentation, or both. Really."

Neurodiversity, mild frustration

There is an aspect of some neuroatypicalities that means that when someone makes a recommendation - TV, film, book, whatever - the recommendee will do anything BUT that.

Someone catching up 6 months or a year later is no fun; I'm thinking about something else by then.
