honestly id probably start answering eta requests with the business-polite 'go fuck urself buddy' of "i don't have the time to scope, plan, and estimate all the work involved because the scope is too big for one person alone" to shed the ambient stress

i think that writing business-language "go fuck yourself" emails is genuinely the only way my autistic ass can deal with external stress that pops up in the workplace. theres just something about it.

(apologies if that comes across as too advice-y on a vent & that's not wanted! just like, fuck being the load-bearing Person Who Gets Shit Done!!! it's so frustrating!!)

no, it's appreciated!

i think the main reason we've been choking on doing just that is that we work on a very tiny startup team on an app that is in the "post release live or die on initial reception" phase. if we don't do it, it doesn't get done and this stands to drop minimum viable customers.

we'd be hunting for a replacement job, but with all the looming medical stuff and necessary recovery time this year/the next one it feels super risky to roll the fiscal dice.

oh god thats absolutely neurotypical torture yeah

i really hate it whenever i do give the honest 'i [have severe adhd and] cannot give a remotely accurate estimate of percentage-completion bc the scope of this is murky and hellish' and then neurotypicals go "okay but like what's your best guess" anyways

buddy my best guess is that this is one of the known unknowns and you need to give me 8 espressos and 2 days to get back to you on that.......
