Now there’s at least three of us: you, me and George Costanza.

Isn’t that what people in extreme bubbles usually think?

Lost. It’s one of those shows with new details I catch every time I rewatch it.

Scrubs. Just a comfort show for when I don’t have much time or before going to bed.

Sometimes it’s just a dialog with a single “Ok” button, and they stare at me and ask “now what?”. Like, you literally have only one option, what do you think?

I like JIRA, but you make a good point there. My company lets every team manage their project however they want. They go an extra mile to tailor and customize JIRA in whatever way each team “needs”. But having over 100+ teams in my company has made projects a nightmare, I have to write very complex JQLs and filters just to get the results I need from all the projects I’m involved with. There’s no pattern at all.

Seriously, I currently work with SharePoint for internal documentation and I audibly grunt every time I’m editing or managing anything using that thing.

I’m so sorry, and thank you for your service!

Isn’t this a mindset for complacent people, though?

Don’t get me wrong, I think exactly like you. But sometimes, I feel that by thinking this way, I’m just taking a shortcut. It seems like an easy way out for issues that should be tackled by humanity (of which you and I are a part), and instead of contributing, we’re just letting it happen.

Think about activists, for example. To do what they do, they can’t just turn off the news and be oblivious to what’s happening. They might not be directly solving the problems, but they are doing something within their reach, even if it means feeling overwhelmed, like OP seems to be feeling.

Does any of this make sense?
