abusive nature of being people

Woah.. thats a long track title..
Researchers are often a stubborn breed of creatures. They preach out of the box mantras yet get stuck and roped into classically ill-defined close minded ruts. In my view researchers research, designers design. Mixing the two together is good and all but lets let those that can draw, draw and those that can analyze data, analyze. I hate seeing a researcher struggle for hours in a design app to make something pretty and vice versa I hate seeing a designer get all uppity on the notion that once you analyze something it loses “life” or something. I’m probably a mix of both and fall more to the creative design side. I hate collecting data just to collect it and not make full use of it. And i hate designing something unless it has purpose. In all comes down to time. I hate wasting time. Actually thats not it. I like wasting time thats set aside to be wasted. What i hate is watching people toil for hours when the mental block for them isnt the application they are struggling with as much as how they got to the point where they are messing with the application.
There are days when i sit behind my blockade of glowing monitors hopin to god people dont realize … realize that i know why they are banging their heads into the wall. I try and tell them but that its never what they want to hear. I keep thinking what a poor use of time and money and people. We’re gonna burn that person to a crisp over a program when the person that is an ace using that app is doing x vs y. I know what yer saying… “just tell them”.. and I do but its always the same. I’ll tell them, today, then tomorrow, then the next day, and so on. I just back myself out of all of it and focus on what I need to do. But I wish i couldnt see them squirm, squeal, cry out over x or y application. Its always last minute too, its the classic you have 3hrs left.. go do a million things, GO!
We all want everything to work now, this instant, no upload, no processing time, do it now. I’m probably the same way… i get bit cause i dont jump into the unknown enough maybe. Meaning that i question the unknown to the extent that i gasp.. plan. And i worry, that too, I do worry well. HA! Still i hate seeing the same thing over and over and over and over. Its like setting up for failure. Its like on the todo list or something.
Ok i cant save them so lets talk about what i can do. First of all China, gonna do that… holy cats!
