I am so fucking sick of work I could spit. Nothing major has happened. The manager switch has not caused any problems yet, but I am tired of doing the exact same thing day after day. Telling people time after time that they need to make sure color contrast is acceptable, that people who cannot use a mouse have to be able to use the website they are creating, that their videos need captioning, that their HTML must be valid, that tables must be marked up correctly, that their charts and graphs need to be described, that…
Oh FTS man.

So you essentially do computer accommodations all day long. I do not envy you and I like…this is my degree
Sort of. I evaluate and either suggest remediation for accessibility issues for digital technology or remediate it myself. I don’t mind doing the remediation but I am worn out making the suggestions.
Ok so then it is a lot like my job actually. Telling teachers how to best teach the students they least want to teach.
Hmm, I had not thought of it like that — but your job is what I left and then entered this job after grad school. I know my special education background helps with what I do, but I considered this completely different. I see your point. You tell people how to reach special needs students and I tell developers how to make digital technology accessible.
If only you could start off all your conversations with clients by saying “Fuck this shit, you need….”
Excellent use of “FTS, man”.
Perhaps you should type up these instructions, and hand them out to everyone, daring them to give you anything to review until they have checked the list first?
I wish it were that simple, but a good idea.
Tim, who does a different job, would have a similar whine, and wouldn’t it be nice if people actually did their jobs and check their lists before it came back to you? (He really hates his job lately…)
I think there are people for hire on the dark web who can deal with these kinds of annoying coworkers.
I’m getting alarmed by Helen’s knowledge of the dark web. I used to have to help people to use our website. Oddly enough, they couldn’t log on when they tried to use an email address different that the one they used to create their account in the first place. And it was my fault.
