<h1>Naomi's User Manual</h1>
<section>
<p>
Hiya! This page is meant to give you a run-down of what working with
me is like. It's like a li'l insight into the way I best interact with
people and perform on a team.

<h2>My Values</h2>
<p>
I tend to be very firm in my values, to the degree that I shy away
from organisations or projects which do not align with my ethics.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
First and foremost, do not pass judgement. I will not begrudge you
for your religious beliefs, political alignments, or any other
aspects of your life. And I expect the same courtesy in return. You
do not have to accept who I am, or support my choices, but we need
to maintain a respectful and cordial professional relationship.
Expressing hateful, mean-spirited, or vitriolic comments does not
foster such an environment, and my tolerance for such is nil.
</li>
<li>
Second, we shall do no harm. I very strongly believe that technology
is meant to advance our society, not regress it. Software should not
be used to automate people's careers away, or replace creative works
with pale imitations, or harass/target someone, or restrict access
to information.
</li>
</ul>
<hr />
</section>
<section>
<h2>Environment</h2>
<p>
I have found that I best thrive and produce the greatest works in
specific environments.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Ideas should be freely discussed, challenged, and evaluated. I am
not a "yes girl" to blindly follow orders. If I hear a plan that I
think misses the mark, I will absolutely voice my concerns. And I
welcome the same scrutiny in return. Discussion needs to be
constructive and fruitful - if we're going around in circles, it's
time to table it and sleep on our thoughts.
</li>
<li>
We are not our ideas, however. "This is bad and you should feel bad"
helps no one. "I'm not sure that is the best approach, can we
consider doing this instead?" keeps the conversation focused on the
right things and moving forward.
</li>
<li>
ADHD means my productivity is highly fluctuating. There are days
where I can sit and bang out a week of work in 16 hours, and there
are days where I stare mindlessly at the screen and then realise the
sun has set already. Flexibility in both schedule and deadlines is
very important to me.
</li>
<li>
Likewise, insomnia can rear its ugly head and absolutely wreck my
sleep schedule without any warning. Asynchronous comms are always
preferred over meetings, but if a meeting must happen the afternoon
hours are the best. Too early and I'll likely fail to wake up. Too
late and I might be incoherent.
</li>
<li>
If given something like a Trello or a Monday board, I will 100% make
it pretty and load every single task ever on there. I'm a sucker for
organising workloads and the easiest way for me to be transparent
about the work I'm doing is to just let you look at a task board. If
you say "what did you do yesterday" I will not remember this for I
have slept since then.
</li>
</ul>
<hr />
</section>

<h2>Communication</h2>
<p>
As with many people, there are certain approaches to communication
that are more effective for me.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Don't just say "hello" in my DMs or ping me without context. You'll
pull me out of a workflow to wait for the rest of the message. Send
it all at once, or save the ping for the last part.
</li>
<li>
I have generalised anxiety disorder. Please for the love of all
things, do NOT say "we need to talk" or "do you have time to meet".
I will 100% sit there right up until the meeting starts stressing
about getting fired and not actually getting any work done. If you
need to call me out, just rip the bandage off and come out of the
gate with it.
</li>
<li>
I dunno if you noticed the tone changed in this document about a
million times. That's pretty much Naomi in a nutshell. I'll go from
collected and eloquent to manic and sending messages faster than
Discord can process. I try my hardest to stay professional, but ADHD
makes that very hard. I'll swear sometimes, I'll say totally
off-the-wall things. But I really do try!

</ul>
