I am currently about three steps ahead in regard to my job. By that, I mean:
- I have code that is currently in testing by our QA folks
- I have another branch/MR ready to go when that one gets approved
- I have *another* branch/MR, branched off of the previous one, ready to go after that
- I have two *more* code cleanup branches waiting in the wings; other devs generally hate these since the typical tech attitude is “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” despite that being the leading cause of technical debt

Work right now consists of rebasing all those WIP branches while waiting to see if QA finds any problems with what they’re currently testing. This means a lot of trying to stay busy and productive, hoping that I am not forgetting one or more things while juggling all these balls. It is *not* optimal for someone with ADHD and anxiety.
