I think my friends (the ones that aren't in the same field anyways) would be surprised by how much of my time is sitting around doing shit that a junior should be doing instead of more important engineering-type stuff

"so you just got paid $100 to sit around and watch an intermittently frozen software program for a couple hours and clicking a button every now and then, while answering questions you've answered two or three times before in your message history with this person, and sat in on three meetings that you didn't even need to speak during, and you have absolutely no work product to show for the past two hours of your time yet?"

"yep. I'm gonna blow my brains out if this continues"

ofc, the other side of this is "so you spent 6+ hours working nonstop going straight from task to task while being constantly available to multiple other departments and context switching nonstop, and you finished up three models and documented some project stuff and verified a few applications with calculations and whatnot", to which the answer is the same "yep. I'm gonna blow my brains out if this continues"

I want to throttle every microsoft employee. I have enough issues with the CAD program itself, I don't need fucking office365 and explorer freezing and crashing nonstop

Commenting to share this neat video I saw recently from the developer of Windows Task Manager. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQykvrAR_po

Seems like a great guy. He is retired from M$, so probably safe from your throttling anyway.
