...that was cool. (y)
I'm doing documentation, working on an index for our software, which assists in chip design. In other words: I don't know a whole lot about this stuff.
Anyway, I'm working on the index, which is kind of tangled because I can't always tell what is a sub-entry of what, and what is tangible enough to have its own entry, etc. He was looking over it and I think he could tell I was feeling kind of frustrated over my inadequacy, and he said, "When I wrote my books? I didn't do the index. The editor didn't do the index. They hire someone to come in and do the index, because it's hard." I said I just felt kind of weird, because I've been here almost a year now and still don't know much of what this material is, and he said something like "Why would you? I'm not 'being nice.' Don't worry about it" and that was it.
Yeah. That was very understanding.
