If you wanted completed documentation on a very complex tool by the first week of September maybe you should have hired someone before July.
I'm good at absorbing tools and turning around to provide training, but when I'm learning an all new (to me) industry and the tool (without even knowing the business processes yet!)... two months to a deliverable is asking a bit much.

I appreciate the support. Just freaked me out, because I hadn't had one this bad in MONTHS.
That is also not uncommon on new meds. With my anti-depressants, things did (unfortunately) get way worse before they got better. But once they got better, ohman. It was worth it.
I'd say unless you're having really bad side-effects (esp. those listed with the drug material), to keep at it.
(edited because thread hadn't updated properly)
For financial reasons, I've been off most my meds (after next week, I should be able to afford some of them again even sans-insurance since that won't go active until October... lolhalfwaythroughmycontract).
Today is the first day it was really noticeable. I can tell the anti-anxiety meds are out of my system. I was on my way to a standard, daily interview that's never been an issue before... and felt the panic welling up inside.
I hate that feeling.
All my baking recipes require a stand mixer.
Because I love mine and I'm lazy.
Libraries are awesome and the Austin library is no different.
They've been putting on these Stranger Things escape rooms. There was a cancelation for one today (I'd been too late in the initial sign up and they were sold out), so I hiked it to South Austin to go (I usually don't go to the south side) and man I'm glad I did.
It was a lot of fun. The other players were great. If you felt like you were hitting a wall on a puzzle, handing it off to someone else tended to work (at one point I handed off one that made no sense to me and went back to a book that'd been abandoned by everyone and found things that'd been missed, solving the puzzle).
They apparently have a Cthulhu themed one they'll be doing so I signed up for email alerts once it goes.
Def a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Interesting topic. I didnt know anyone mushing with accessibility issues related to blindness (ex: text to speech\vice versa) but I imagine that mushing is excellent for deaf people and tabletop/skype is a lot better for blind people. I have seen color-blind people griping about the use of specific ANSI colors on mushes.
Good on Fate for coming up with a book on ways to help keep us gamers gaming.
Get Lamp is a documentary about text-based adventures (Zork!) and their history, how they still persist modern day, etc.
They interview a few blind users. It was very interesting to consider when I was in my game design courses in school. Because while text-based adventures present a very approachable form of gaming for the vision impaired, they also present difficulties.
Why would a blind user even consider 'get lamp' as a puzzle solution, for example?
So while it's a very approachable medium, there are also logic dependencies to consider.
(I've known one blind MUer over the years. We all made a helpful effort to help him discern between words. When the SW prequels, came out, for example, we often made sure to say 'Darth Maul' vs just 'Maul' since maul and mall sound the same on a screen reader and context could be weird.)

@Auspice @Ganymede move me again? Forgive me my error, for I have sinned
lol, I mean, it can fit here too! But I more mean there might be threads in the game dev forum that suit this (if you'd been hoping to tie to an existing thread).
(it's also a newer forum so I know it gets missed a lot)
