Love me not

Love isn't too late for anyone, right? Word count : 2,324 words Pairing : kim mingyu x reader Genre : angst, love triangle, bestf to (?) Warnings : uhh, as always, tears (duh), mingyu is straight-up asshole, reader is a girlboss and also a resident doctor, wonwoo's a cardiothoracic surgeon, mingyu's job is not specified, mentions of drink, kind of minimal dialogue but at the same time it's not & like 1 (one) curse word, lmk if i miss any! ★ i'm in my active era, with nothing to do in my life so I just decided to write this in like, what, total 8 hours? it’s just a random thought that caught up in my mind for dayssss. need to repost this (cry)

☆ check out my other works > main masterlist

Mingyu's smile flattered when he read the invitation envelope he received this morning. There, he found a picture of you with another man— the man he saw at the coffee shop.

He could feel the way his heart clenched, and he sensed a twinge of jealousy in his heart.

Perhaps it's his fault, not caring about you enough that makes you think that you can't handle him anymore.

Or the way he would cancel your meetings abruptly because he just got a call from Jira where he rushes to everywhere she goes without asking any questions. Leaving you hanging alone in the restaurant that you both had decided to have dinner together.

The way he always mentions her names in every conversation, bringing her like she's the goddess god sent from the sky himself.

God, he can even imagine the way your smile slightly dropped and the disappointment evident on your face when he brought up her name that he had once not noticed, not caring about what you had said earlier.

Despite that, you stay by his side, offering your shoulder everytime he feels sad because of her, assuring him that he’s enough.

Mingyu remembers the day when everything started to shift.

You're not as welcome to him as before. Always avoid meeting him in person, and you are always busy.

He thinks it's normal at first, you're a resident after all, of course you're going to get busy someday that you can't even spare a glance or reply to his texts.

Meanwhile you, on the other hand, think that it's the best for you. Well, it is.

You're willing to step-out from the “more than friends but not in a relationship” situation with him, your heart also aches really great while you have to stay calm for him when he's telling his story, with her in it.

So after a while, you decided that you had enough of his & Jira's story, and you need to move on. So you do what you have to do earlier this time, you avoid him, busying yourself with patience, and always looking for surgery that needs an assistant, minimising your interaction with him. It's not that hard, actually. You're literally a cardiac resident. You will always get busy.

There you met who you called now– the love of your life, Jeon Wonwoo. He’s the main doctor for organ transplant operation, and you're the assistant.

After the operation was successful, he treated you to a coffee shop down the road and both of you had fun, talking about patience cases that you have, and even some stories on the ER where you are located right now.

“So, any interest in a relationship, or you're just single?” He asks while sipping his cup of ice americano– he claims that's what keeps him awake in every before or after a big operation.

You think for a few seconds, this is the first time when you feel like yourself again and have people asking about you, not any other person.

Feeling like you zoned out, he calls your name again, in which you respond with a shy smile on your face, and you apologise for spacing out.

You open your mouth to speak again, “No, I don't have any interest in a relationship for now, I want to focus on being a doctor first, like you!” you said with a light-hearted laugh. He did the same.

Then someone opens the coffee shop door, making the bell rings, your eyes trained to the glass door, you freeze when you see Mingyu, in all his glory.

He seems to notice you too, but when he looks in your direction, you already turn your eyes towards the doctor in front of you. Yes, he searched for you in the ER, but the receptionist said that you're currently in a cafe with a doctor.

After placing his order, he sat next to the counter, waiting for his name to be called by the barista.

He noticed the way you laugh so freely, like the burden on your shoulder just lift up when you are with that man.

He frowns, you never be as free as you are right now when you're with him, you always keep your distance, and he's your best friend! That doctor is just someone you met along the way.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

“What do you want, Mingyu?” That's it, no more ‘gyu’ and the tone of your voice is cold, stabbing him in the heart.

He took a long breath, “What's wrong with us? You never seem to notice me anymore. Hundreds of my messages go unread, and you never gave me a check”

His words really make you wanna laugh. What's wrong with you both? You don't know, but one thing for sure, he needs you to tell the story about him and his beloved to you, crying his heart out and then leaving like nothing's going on between you.

You bite your bottom lip. Before allowing yourself to let out a chuckle, Mingyu cuts you off.

“Why are you laughing? It’s not a time for that” You seriously want to punch the guy in front of you, “You not here anymore when i needed you the most, Jira and i–”

That's where you draw the line, you put your “I don't care, Mingyu. Actually, fuck you kim mingyu” His breath hitched when you said that, hands growing cold.

“You are always nagging this and that about you and Jira, I don't care about her, I only care about you, all my whole life I only cared about you” Your finger pointed at him accusingly.

You stop yourself for a second, trying to catch your breath, you see Mingyu opening his mouth, wanting to speak but you cut him off.

“No, you don't get to say anything about this. All i ever do is just a backburner, the person who you came when you have any problems and dump all your problems with me, and then when you feel better you always go to her even you knew that she would make the same mistake over and over again and you will come running to me with your tears stricken face”

“You promise to listen to me too, I've had enough of your drama, I've talked to you before you even brought her up, and somehow you still did even if it's not relevant. I'm sacrificing my own happiness for you, Jira had everything i've ever wanted and that is you”

You snatched your bag from the seat beside you, pulled out a 50 dollar bill, put it on the table and you stormed off.

Mingyu was just sitting there, and that's when he felt it come back. The ache in his heart, he feels his heart clenched in the worst way possible.

Only you can make him feel like this, not even Jira can do this to him. Hearing the words fall off from your mouth is hurting him, and he doesn't know why.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

Days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months. It's been approximately 7 months since the last time Mingyu saw you and heard from you.

You moved out from your old apartment the next day, making him ponder since when you start to pack your things, have you been planning this all the months back?

In the first month, he felt so lonely without your presence, no one sent him a ‘good morning’ ‘evening’ and ‘night’ text, his apartment also felt cold without you.

You used to come here often on saturday and sunday night, warming up the apartment with movies ready on your disk.

Now, his weekend nights feel empty, no one would play and watch his favorite movie with him.

And in the third month he realised when he saw you again, this time with Wonwoo beside you, talking and laughing together. He felt a throbbing pain in his heart when he saw that scenery.

oh.

All the times he felt in your presence, is the sign that he likes you or worse yet— loves you.

He realised he never felt anything towards Jira, that it's just a passing crush to keep his true deep feeling. He has liked you since the day you turned 14, the way your eyes light up when your family and him decide to surprise you in your sleep.

The memory just made his wound that he considered still fresh getting sprinkled by a handful pinch of salt.

It burns him alive and he loses all the respect he has for himself.

He thinks he has moved on, the old trick under the sleeves, getting over someone by getting under someone.And finally, it's now been a year and a half since he last heard from you.

Mingyu walks to his apartment with groceries on both of his hands, and then when he gets inside, he puts the things on his kitchen counter and goes to the bedroom to change his outerwear.

He's not in the mood to do anything today, so he took his laptop to watch some movies, but then an email caught his attention, it's from you.

So he opens it, and finds an envelope there.

Mingyu read the body of the email, because a word cought on his eyes.

hi, sorry. I know we have been in no contact for a year and a half, but I want to invite you, we once have something, don't we? :) Love is in the air.docx

He lets out a shaky breath, scared if he opens the document then his heart would shatter to the ground beneath his feet.Oh well, he opens it with hesitation on his face and heart. He takes a deep breath before finally opening the invitation.

The document has three pictures of you with him, the doctor he hates so much with all of his heart despite there's no interaction between them.

It’s a wedding card.

There's the date and time of your wedding ceremony and the reception.

He feels his tears on the edge of his eyes, threatening to fall right now and then, he already has his heart shattered the day you leave and now he feels another throbbing pain with the fact that you will never be his.

[⋆✴︎˚｡⋆]

“Don't marry him” You feel like the time has just stopped right now.

Seeing Mingyu all dressed up in your wedding was definitely on your bingo list— well, last year. but seeing him now? It's just like the burden you had on your shoulder a year ago came back to you.

You used to imagine yourself going through a wedding ceremony with you as the bride and him as the groom.

You're very much confused by his behavior, so you open your mouth, though you didn't say anything because you’re speechless.

Mingyu repeats the words he just said the second time to you, looking at you with hope in his eyes.

“Why?” you asked, you want to add something after that but you halt your actions, waiting for him to answer you.

Mingyu started at the ground for a moment, before looking at you, yet again, “Why? You know why”

You snap, saying no to him only for it to be denied by him, making you say no to him again.

“What?” Then he asked, after pinning him for years, hearing him say that makes your blood boil.

You want to slap Mingyu, but you compose yourself, not wanting to make your special day be ruined by a man that doesn't know and seems like he's not willing to know about your feelings even when you gave him a clear sign.

“No, no Mingyu– You're being mean. stop it.” he can hear the finality of your words, but he didn't want to stop there, “How am i being mean?” there's a stern expression on his face.

“I have been second to Jira my whole life, in everything and that including you. I'm not going to be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her”

“I won't do it, because i've been wasting my entire life loving you but all you see is just Jira, never once i crossed your mind, and you don't have the right to stop me from marrying the man i love” You don't even want to cry anymore, tears for him is already dry long time ago.

Mingyu tries to hold your hand, wanting to confess his feelings, but instead he lets out a question and the second he finishes his sentence he regrets it, “Isn't I the man you love?” his voice is silent, not quite above a whisper.

“Don’t make me laugh Kim Mingyu, you get rid off me as soon as you and Jira reconcile, even both of you were not in a relationship, you run into me when Jira is busy and then the next day you gone for a week and the cycle keep going leaving me stressing over my own feeling”

Before he could say anything, you told him to get out of the room, but you know he's a rock headed person, so you already told the groomsman to wait outside the door after he gets in.

Mingyu heard the door open and he knew it's time for him to get the fuck out and wait for your ceremony, he said something before he leaves, “i love you, i'm sorry” and so he get his last words to you.

For the rest of his life, Mingyu can only hear your voice from a distance, the way Wonwoo kisses you is heart wrenching to the guts of his body.

Now he can only see you again when suddenly bumps into you, or when he goes to your favorite places and on his screen.

And even then, you're not alone, you will be with your new husband that you're marrying today, there's no chance for him to be in your picture.

5 Essential Tips for Effective Capacity Planning

Introduction

Capacity planning is a critical component of any organization’s operational and strategic framework. Whether you’re managing a manufacturing facility, a software development team, or an IT infrastructure, capacity planning helps ensure that resources are allocated efficiently to meet current and future demand without over- or under-provisioning. At its core, capacity planning answers a fundamental question: Do we have the resources to meet future demand effectively? The right approach to capacity planning can help businesses optimize resource usage, prevent bottlenecks, control costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. This article dives deep into five essential tips for mastering capacity planning, offering practical insights, examples, and best practices to help businesses stay competitive and responsive in a fast-changing environment.

Tip 1: Start with Accurate Demand Forecasting

Why It Matters Accurate demand forecasting is the foundation of effective capacity planning. Without understanding future demand, any capacity planning efforts will be based on guesswork, leading to either excessive costs from overcapacity or customer dissatisfaction due to resource shortages. How to Do It

Analyze Historical Data: Review past trends, sales records, and seasonal fluctuations to establish a baseline.

Market Analysis: Stay informed about market trends, customer behavior, and competitor actions that may influence demand.

Incorporate External Factors: Economic conditions, new regulations, or emerging technologies can impact demand unpredictably.

Collaborate Across Teams: Engage sales, marketing, production, and finance teams to create more realistic forecasts.

Use Predictive Analytics Tools: Leverage software and AI-driven platforms to analyze data and generate demand predictions.

Tip 2: Prioritize Resource Flexibility

Why It Matters Rigid capacity plans fail when faced with unexpected demand spikes or resource shortages. Building flexibility into your capacity planning allows the organization to scale up or down based on real-time needs. How to Do It

Cross-Train Employees: Equip your workforce with multiple skill sets so they can shift between tasks or departments during peak periods.

Utilize Temporary Staff or Contractors: Maintain relationships with staffing agencies or freelance networks to fill short-term gaps.

Invest in Scalable Technology: Cloud computing services or modular production lines enable you to adjust capacity without large capital expenditures.

Maintain Vendor Flexibility: Secure multiple suppliers to avoid disruptions if one vendor fails to deliver.

Tip 3: Continuously Monitor and Measure Capacity Utilization

Why It Matters Capacity planning is not a set-it-and-forget-it process. Continuous monitoring helps detect underutilized resources or potential bottlenecks before they become costly problems. How to Do It

Establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Monitor metrics like resource utilization rates, production efficiency, downtime, and backlog volumes.

Implement Real-Time Monitoring Tools: Use software to track capacity and performance in real time, particularly in IT and manufacturing environments.

Schedule Regular Reviews: Conduct weekly, monthly, or quarterly capacity review meetings to ensure alignment with business goals.

Tip 4: Incorporate Scenario Planning and Risk Management

Why It Matters Capacity planning operates under uncertainty. Demand can change suddenly due to market shifts, supply chain disruptions, or unexpected crises like a pandemic. Scenario planning prepares your organization for multiple possible futures. How to Do It

Develop "What-If" Scenarios: Plan for best-case, worst-case, and most likely demand scenarios.

Assess Resource Elasticity: Determine which resources can be easily adjusted and which are fixed.

Identify Critical Constraints: Understand the capacity limits that could halt operations if demand exceeds forecasts.

Regular Risk Assessments: Evaluate risks like labor shortages, raw material price spikes, or technology failures.

Tip 5: Leverage Capacity Planning Tools and Technology

Why It Matters Manual capacity planning can be time-consuming and error-prone. Using modern tools and technology streamlines the process, improves accuracy, and enables data-driven decisions. How to Do It

Adopt Specialized Software: If you are on Jira, use capacity planning tools like Capacity Planner - Resource Planning in Jira, or cloud-based platforms tailored to your industry.

Utilize AI and Machine Learning: Advanced platforms use predictive analytics to forecast demand, suggest optimal resource allocation, and identify potential issues.

Automate Routine Tasks: Automate scheduling, resource allocation, and reporting to free up time for strategic planning.

Common Capacity Planning Pitfalls to Avoid

Even with the right approach, several common mistakes can derail capacity planning efforts:

Over-reliance on Historical Data While past trends are useful, they don’t always predict future demand. Failing to factor in market changes, new competitors, or emerging trends can lead to inaccurate forecasts.

Neglecting Cross-Functional Collaboration Capacity planning is not just the operations team’s job. Without input from sales, marketing, HR, and finance, plans may overlook important considerations.

Ignoring Soft Capacity Constraints Physical resources aren’t the only consideration. Human factors like skill levels, motivation, and team dynamics also impact capacity.

Failing to Review and Update Plans Static plans quickly become outdated. Businesses must regularly revisit capacity plans and adjust as needed.

Underestimating Lead Times Planning to increase capacity at the last minute may fail if resources, labor, or materials have long lead times.

Real-World Example: Capacity Planning in Action

Case Study: Tech Company Cloud Migration

A mid-sized tech company anticipated a surge in platform users due to a major new feature launch. Instead of guessing server needs, they:

Conducted demand forecasting based on user sign-ups and engagement rates.

Used scenario planning to model three potential growth paths.

Invested in scalable cloud infrastructure to handle spikes.

Established real-time monitoring to scale resources up or down automatically.

Held bi-weekly capacity review meetings during the launch phase.

Outcome: The company handled the traffic surge smoothly, avoided costly server downtime, and optimized costs by scaling resources only when needed.

Conclusion

Capacity planning is a dynamic, strategic process that empowers businesses to align resources with demand effectively. By following the five essential tips outlined in this article—accurate forecasting, resource flexibility, continuous monitoring, scenario planning, and leveraging technology—organizations can build a robust capacity planning framework. The benefits are clear: improved efficiency, reduced costs, better risk management, and superior customer satisfaction. In a world where markets shift rapidly, the ability to plan and adapt your capacity is not just a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity. Businesses that master capacity planning position themselves for long-term success, able to seize new opportunities and navigate challenges with confidence. If you are using Jira for Project Management, try the Capacity Planner tool by RVS to allocate resources (people, time, and skills) efficiently across various tasks and projects.

Judd Legum and Rebecca Crosby at Popular Information:

Today, the National Security Agency (NSA) is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion." The "Big Delete," according to an NSA source and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information, is creating unintended consequences. Although the websites and other content are purportedly being deleted to comply with President Trump's executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion, or "DEI," the dragnet is taking down "mission-related" work. According to the NSA source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media, the process is "very chaotic," but is plowing ahead anyway. A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted. This is the list of 27 banned words distributed to NSA staff:

Anti-Racism Racism Allyship Bias DEI Diversity Diverse Confirmation Bias Equity Equitableness Feminism Gender Gender Identity Inclusion Inclusive All-Inclusive Inclusivity Injustice Intersectionality Prejudice Privilege Racial Identity Sexuality Stereotypes Pronouns Transgender Equality

The memo acknowledges that the list includes many terms that are used by the NSA in contexts that have nothing to do with DEI. For example, the term "privilege" is used by the NSA in the context of "privilege escalation." In the intelligence world, privilege escalation refers to "techniques that adversaries use to gain higher-level permissions on a system or network." The purge extends beyond public-facing websites to pages on the NSA's internal network, including project management software like Jira and Confluence.

[...]

The government memory hole

Since Trump took office, thousands of web pages across various federal agencies have been altered or removed entirely. Federal agencies have taken down or edited resources about HIV, contraceptives, LGBTQ+ health, abortion, and climate change. Some web pages have later come back online “without clarity on what had been changed or removed.” An analysis by the Washington Post of 8,000 federal web pages “found 662 examples of deletions and additions” since Trump took office. The analysis found that words like diversity, equity, and inclusion were removed at least 231 times from the websites of federal agencies, including the Department of Labor, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Transportation.

The NSA’s “Big Delete” is a form of authoritarian censorship under the MAGA regime led by the Trump-Musk-Vance axis of evil.

So I was thinking about a post I saw a while ago and it made me realize that I believe it didn´t really occur to Anakin that Padme was too young as a 14 year old Queen because he was a 9 year old slave and already making adult decisions, like:

Sure, I will risk my life to give you the ship parts you need new friends.

I will sacrifice the pod I built with many sacrifices that I wanted to use to escape with my Mom once I got her and my slave chip out of her body with my self made slave chip detector.

I know exactly how to cheat on my owner, I have know him all my life actually and he loves gambling.

Sebulba, leave Jar Jar alone, you could kill me instead but then you would have to pay for me so go away.

I built a droid to help Mom around the house and I am also looking after grandma Jira here, fixing her things so the heat doesn´t get too much for her.

Do you need the droid army that is invading Naboo stopped? No problem, I will just destroy their main star chip and I didn´t even get out of place as Master Qui-Gon Sir asked me to.

Then Anakin became a padawan and was send to missions in which he had to use his lightsaber to get out of "negotiations"

So of course he defended Padme being a Queen at 14, to him her words about being happy for being relieved of so much responsibility sounded as if she thought she was doing a bad job with her planet, that´s why he told her he heard people were so pleased with her they wanted to keep her more time as their Queen. He thought she was selling herself short.

I believe the whole, "too young to be doing this" only beat Anakin in the face when he was send Ahsoka in the middle of a war zone.

I mean, he called her a "youngling" not even a padawan, he most definitely didn´t want to be training a 14 year old youngling in the middle of a war zone and he only accepted because he saw how sad Ahsoka looked when she thought he didn´t want her.

Ahsoka just had to invoke a little bit of tears and she already had him grapped around her little finger.

Anakin: Sure I am supposed to be your Jedi master and you should call me master but we are in the middle of a war zone, we both could die tomorrow, your situation sucks Snips and you are too young yet to notice it so of course you may call me skyguy to your heart content.

He is actually worse with Luke, honestly, it didn´t matter to him his little boy already destroyed the death star in ANH and his Master was calling for his head because he could become a Jedi and try to kill both of them, to Vader he was just "a boy"

In ESB Vader was at the parenting stage of thinking about Luke like, that´s my baby, nobody can touch him or his friends until I say so ok?

So he can recognize when someone was too young to be send to war, slavery or fight his Sith Master and he was right most of the time, except when it´s about himself and his perfect Queen Padme, they were veteran kids just doing their jobs.

Love him honestly :D

#anakin skywalker #padme amidala #ahsoka tano #luke skywalker #anakin has oppinions about ages #anakin“protective brother/father” skywalker #tpm #sw aotc #empire strikes back #star wars #anakin: childhood trauma what childhood trauma?

WOD OC WARDROBE: Dottie Don (Vampire)

This is what Dottie usually wears on a daily basis. She always wears something pink somewhere on her and carries a purse. She often wears high heels or knee-high boots.

Her personal style is a blend of different styles: jira kei, egl fashion, coquette, and hime gyaru.

As a mortal, she was an amateur seamstress and costuming student, so most of her clothes are handmade or altered to fit her style.

Casual nights

When Dottie hangs out with her coterie at their Hecata member's bar, she usually wears sanrio merch with a mini skirt and cardigan. Her Toreador obsession with cute things doesn't really allow for t-shirts and jeans.

Formal occasions

For Elysium and Primogen council meetings, Dottie wears egl fashion. She always has a rose motif somewhere in her formal dress to identify her clan.

A little bit about Dottie

Clan: Toreador

Occupation: Primogen

Age embraced: 24

Kindred age: Childer

Favorite discipline: Presence

Dottie is an extremely young Toreador primogen. She has only been a kindred of two years, so many of her clan members doubt her abilities. However, she has knack for understanding people and caring for them, which helps her get others on her side.

She's a bit of social butterfly, so she rarely spends time inside her apartment. She is often out and about with her coterie most nights. They are her favorite people because they fully let her be herself, eccentricities and all.

Thank you to @camo-art for tagging me in this. I am glad to hear you enjoy my blog.

I would like to tag @informaltorching I really enjoy the blog's art style

I do computer work but it's not very hard and kind of boring. How do I get to do hard computer work? Do I have to go to grad school?

hi i tend to miss these because of slipshod ublock custom filters im too birdbrained to fix.

i worked for a large american technology company which sold business machines internationally for close to a decade until laid off in successful accounting fraud scheme a few years ago. started as developer, erm, pardon me, i started as

junior developer

which is a role similar to routinely-executed court jester and human meatwave conscript meant to soak up enemy bullets to cause exhaustion of enemy bullet supply and finally guy that comes in big gross truck with a pump and a tank and a big hose used to suck the shit+piss out of portable toilet/malfunctioning sewer etc. this is for when you are 20 years old or so and they hit you with this work to calm your ass down a bit. my case was cloud bullshit on ancient rickety php stack. 5% keystrokes/clicks are php, 95% remainder is jira and other members of the axis of evil. LOT of dick sucking and butt fucking. Going into men's bathroom and making eye contact with cubicle neighbor before entering stall and fearlessly making disgusting noises. microwaving fish lunch thrice daily. you get the idea. meager paycheck but six figures takehome technically

next is staff dev, wait, god damn fucking tumblr, you can't adjust fonts mid-paragraph, and Big Text is just another type of font, in case you wanted Big Specific font. fucking fuck hold on. next step is

staff developer

no effective change besides greatly increased workload (click those motherfucking jira buttons!! suffer coworker's asinine bad-faith code review comments that HE AND HE ALONE must manually accept your responses to, on HIS time, before you are allowed to click the jira buttons that start the human meat sausage factory to get your 20 line maximum change into an RC and then release and then push candidate and then prod push!! pay raise one thousand dollars annually (lol). Emails. Now you deal with project manager too. speculate as to what sorts of grievous head injuries that man must suffer daily to describe his logic. his job is like the guy from office space that brings documents from one desk to another but he randomly reorders the words on the page in-flight. make plausibly-deniable wife fucking jokes about his wife in earshot. you're almost at the top of the suffering function. next is, no fucking cute font this time, senior developer, sounds cool right, lol, lmao, "senior" "developer" is like "tallest" "midgit".

no pay increase no workload increase but now manager emails you about extremely, extremely personal issues he's facing and also makes his most difficult problems from his boss your problems. one week will pass and then they will hit you with the "we're considering you for a team lead position". answer:

answer no as this is the prescribed path, you take that role, you are maxxed out in workload, you are dealing with forty employee's worth of bullshit, another one thousand dollarinos a year raise, employer has solved efficiency problem with your sanity and burnout as variables. you're supposed to quit or kill yourself within seconds of hitting 30 y/o. don't fall for tricks. say "NO" in a creative way such as "i have tabulated some data and made it into excel pie chart quantifying diff. departments work output and am considering sending it to whoever Dave is, the guy that is one or two or three report levels over your boss' head, you know, his boss' boss' boss or whatever. or say "you are harassing me sexually, racistly" that kind of shit. make threat clearly.

was worth mentioning before, throughout all of this make as many friends and as much of a splash for yourself as possible as its time to trade on that goodwill, tell your boss you want an open relationship and you're going to fuck and suck other managers, and then find the good one with the good team of old fucking geriatric guys who could never be fooled into working more than a reasonable amount daily and also can kill people with their minds since they have been sitting on the bleeding edge of computing since 1969. their boss will usually be, suspiciously, one report rank higher than everyone else. e.g. their boss has a whole other boss + his reports under him. usually small team. go to their boss, say, hi, look at me, look at my beautiful plumage and captivating mating dance, please hire me, pleassseee. his team will say no, they will say things like "I don't know about that kiddo", "That guy seems like a candy-ass", they will read your papers and look at you in the eyes and say it is not compelling, the boss will kind of hire you anyway. if he doesn't you're fucked. if he does you're now a

STAFF ENGINEER

for fifteen minutes and then

ADVISORY/SENIOR/SPECIAL ENGINEER

and the suffering is over. no code minimal jira + squad of gremlin zerglings under your boss whom you can rank-pull and delegate bullshit to, they will be mostly suckers, take advantage of this. 80% of keystrokes/clicks will be in production of beautiful wonderful lovely .docx and .xlsx's, what a godsend, only in an emergency are you allowed to fuck with your zergling's code, usually in a cool way with bullshit procedure removed.

i worked on high performance computing shit. "what the fuck do you mean 2PB or so in and out a day on flash memory", "what the fuck do you mean special infiniband intel MPI library on CD-R stored in Craig's filing cabinet???". Meetings with company people: webcams off, responses optional, snideness allowed. Meetings with client: you must have your dress shirt starched and white glove the shit out of those motherfuckers. timezones = skill issue. i don't care where germany is, i don't give a shit, wake up at 3am for a 20m meeting i take on the toilet or while eating a boiled lobster complete with cracker + lobster bib. customers countable on one hand, invoices to customers not countable with 32 bits. no fucking mistakes ever allowed except for like whitepaper drafts, you cannot fuck the pumpkin on this one, your actual job relies on your ability to hit a button and suck down a week's worth of compute and millions of dollars, boiling swimming pool's worth of TDP, one mistake that leads result data to being able to be characterized as flawed and your balls are getting ripped off. Quarterly IRL meetings = normiepilled normiemaxxing. Dress sharp. leave at 5pm on the dot, go to bar with Old Fucker coworkers, drink wrecklessly with them, have a blast, let them give you a tour of a lab you are absolutely 100% not allowed to be inside, buildings that have posted weight limits per sq. ft. exceeding 250lbs, such a blast. every paycheck a FORTUNE every dinner a banquet every meeting an email every keystroke life or death. you get to meet /lib/doug mofos too one of whom i wrote a very poor kind of poem thing about. thats about it. hope this helps

Is Jira a good solution for time management and tracking?

Undoubtedly, one of the most valuable resources in the world of modern business is time. Learning time management skills is becoming crucial for both individuals and teams, as the pace of work and productivity expectations continue to rise.

Now introduce Jira, a feature-rich project management platform that will improve collaboration, optimize output, and streamline procedures. We will go deep into the world of Jira time management in this comprehensive tutorial, examining its features, benefits, limitations, practical uses, and alternatives.

What is Jira?

At its core, Jira is a dynamic project management platform developed by Atlassian, renowned for its versatility and adaptability across diverse industries and project types. Offering a centralized hub for planning, tracking, and managing tasks, Jira empowers teams to organize projects efficiently, allocate resources effectively, and stay on top of deadlines with ease.

Importance of Time Management and Tracking

Effective time management is the cornerstone of success in any endeavor. By meticulously tracking time, teams can gain invaluable insights into their workflows, identify areas for improvement, and optimize their processes for maximum efficiency. Moreover, time tracking fosters accountability, transparency, and informed decision-making, laying the foundation for sustainable growth and achievement.

Pros of Jira

Versatility and Customization: One of Jira's standout features is its unparalleled flexibility, allowing users to tailor the platform to their unique needs and preferences. Whether you're managing software development projects, marketing campaigns, or creative endeavors, Jira can be customized to suit your workflow seamlessly.

Integration with Other Tools: Jira boasts robust integration capabilities, seamlessly connecting with a vast array of third-party tools and services to enhance its functionality. From collaboration platforms like Flowace to version control systems and beyond, Jira offers unparalleled interoperability, enabling teams to leverage their existing tools within a unified ecosystem.

Agile Project Management: As a stalwart supporter of agile methodologies, Jira provides comprehensive support for Scrum, Kanban, and other agile frameworks. With features such as sprint planning, backlog grooming, and burndown charts, Jira empowers teams to embrace agility, iterate rapidly, and deliver value to stakeholders consistently.

Cons of Jira

Learning Curve: Despite its myriad benefits, Jira can be daunting for newcomers, with its extensive feature set and complex interface posing a steep learning curve. Navigating the intricacies of Jira may require dedicated training and onboarding efforts to ensure mastery among team members.

Cost: While Jira offers a range of pricing plans to accommodate organizations of all sizes, its premium features and functionalities come at a cost. For smaller teams or startups with limited budgets, the expense of Jira's subscriptions may present a barrier to adoption.

Overwhelming for Small Teams: In some cases, the wealth of features offered by Jira may prove overwhelming for smaller teams or projects with simpler requirements. For such entities, the complexity of Jira's interface and the breadth of its capabilities may outweigh the benefits, necessitating a more streamlined solution.

Jira for Time Management

Task Organization and Prioritization: Central to Jira's time management capabilities is its robust system for organizing tasks hierarchically, from projects and epics to stories and sub-tasks. This hierarchical structure enables teams to break down complex projects into manageable units, prioritize tasks effectively, and allocate resources judiciously.

Time Tracking Features: Jira offers an extensive array of time tracking features, allowing users to log work hours, track billable and non-billable time, and generate comprehensive reports on time spent across tasks and projects. With customizable fields, intuitive interfaces, and seamless integration with other Atlassian products like Tempo Timesheets, Jira streamlines the time tracking process, enabling teams to gain granular insights into their productivity and performance.

Reporting and Analytics: Leveraging the power of Jira's reporting and analytics tools, teams can extract actionable insights from their time tracking data, identify trends, pinpoint bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions to optimize their workflows. Whether it's analyzing sprint velocity, forecasting project timelines, or monitoring team efficiency, Jira's robust reporting capabilities empower teams to measure progress, track performance, and drive continuous improvement.

Real-World Examples

From software development firms streamlining their development cycles to marketing agencies optimizing campaign workflows, discover firsthand how Jira revolutionizes time management practices and drives tangible results in the real world.

Alternatives to Jira

While Jira undoubtedly reigns supreme in the realm of project management, it's essential to acknowledge that it may not be the perfect fit for every organization or project. Explore alternative solutions such as Trello, Asana, and Monday.com, each offering its own unique features, advantages, and drawbacks. By weighing the pros and cons of these alternatives against Jira's offerings, teams can make informed decisions and select the platform that best aligns with their goals and requirements.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Jira time tracking stands as a formidable ally in the quest for effective time management and project success. Despite its learning curve and cost considerations, its unparalleled versatility, robust features, and agile-friendly ecosystem make it a force to be reckoned with in the realm of project management. By leveraging Jira's capabilities for task organization, time tracking, reporting, and analytics, teams can unlock new levels of productivity, efficiency, and collaboration.
