short, nonspecific work rant

OH MY GOD JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT SO I CAN TRY TO HELP YOU, ALREADY.

I get really tired of the long stories around the problem/request and also long for a direct "I need X".

I'm with ya. It is frustrating. I've gotten pretty good at "So what I hear you saying is...", frequntly followed by, "Ah, I see. So what was it that you really wanted to do when you ran into problem y?"

But it sure would be a whole lot simpler if I didn't have to do all that crap. And there're people who will make an end-run around all efforts to de-fuckify them.
