Been told to fix a bunch of links as a urgent issue. So far i've spent 3 hours trying to find anyone who knows where the damned things should actually be i pointing.
The joy of Mondays.

    Just because others deem them urgent it doesn't make it urgent for you.

    Breath. Get a coffee. Relax. Do it on your time.

    (And why are you the looking for the target URL in the first place? That should have been in the ticket. So whoever wants that change should give it to you.)

    @k0pernikus yeah, you'd think they would tell me stuff like that. Sadly, this project team isn't organised enough to have a proper ticket system and i'm the only technical person on the team. Extracting vital information from them is a big part of my current role. It's kinda maddening.

    @garrwolfdog Ever thought about the way of being the one who organizes? To be the one that introduces the ticket system?

    You can accept the chaos, or try to tame it. In the beginning, even trello would do.

    It will not get better by the way if you help your current team members out this way. They learn that this kind of behavior gets the job done, and it will only get worse for you.

    @k0pernikus I've done that in the past (always an uphill struggle but often worth it) but I'm just a freelancer at the current place, and embedded in a non - technical part of the project. so don't have much clout in the decision making.
    I know they are planning to switch to Jira but it's taking ages to get it approved and rolled out, and no one seems to be enthusiastic about it. It's a government project so I doubt anything will change much while I'm here
