    I have my first research assistant and got an email from HR with a bunch of admin stuff I need to do.

    I will never complain about software documentation ever again; this stuff is a nightmare. Acronyms are used all over with no explanation, instructions to go to some web service or other without a link to it, training materials so complicated that there are training materials FOR THE TRAINING MATERIALS. This is completely unintelligible.

      @eliocamp This sounds very familiar, except I've never seen the light of any training materials (good or bad)...

        @eliocamp I sympathize. It's not much better in industry either.

          I used to do freelance editing, and HR stuff always seems to be like that. Also long rambling paragraphs and sections with no breaks. It's like they're trying to make it as dense as possible. And if multiple people created it, it's in different styles and formats. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
