I get it, I once had a similar setup in my old job doing analytics, and the constant chatter wrecked my concentration. I never spoke up, thinking it'd seem whiny, and ended up burning out after months of subpar work. It led to mistakes that got me passed over for a promotion - don't make my mistake, but honestly, if your manager's already shut it down, it might not change anything.

Say, 'I can take this if we pause X or hand it off. otherwise I can't take it and still hit current deadlines.' Ask which task they want deprioritized. Confirm the decision in an email.

You can do this, but the market will not clap for you. Research roles got thinner, and a lot of teams push the work onto designers or PMs when budgets tighten. Your analytics edge helps, yet you should expect long stretches of silence and rejections before traction.

Totally agree with your take. That pick matches what you need because it splits the portions evenly into two bowls at the same time, which really cuts down on bowl raiding. The app has been reliable for schedules with a clear feeding history and it pings you when the bin runs low, and the backup power keeps meals on track during outages. Its feed path handles typical medium kibble without drama so jams are rare.
