   @space_cadet this isn't entirely right.

   you might need to do it all on your own *at first*. you just have to.

   but the idea is that you must pull in people who love that kind of shit. there are people who love to crunch numbers, work with tables, sort out all the details. and they aren't big-picture kinds of people. they love getting the little details right.

   it's not useful to think of a preference for fuzzy things as "ADHD" and a preference for detail as "Asperger" if you're going to run a business.

     Thanks, ADHD.

     This is literally why I could never run my own business. Because that stuff *NEEDS* to be done, and I would be incapable of forcing myself to do it. Thus, train wreck.

     the less money you have, the more paperwork there is.

     today, it feels like my day job is to do spreadsheets and paperwork, because that's what i have to do to file an application for money.

     i do not enjoy office work and i don't care about finances, so that'd be a good reason to work to get *away* from having to do that.

     i'd like people who like numbers and computing to do this work, but i've got nothing to offer them back. for now. so i have to do this in the meanwhile.

     and it pisses me off just as much as programming does. makes me mad.
