Updated "greek task list":orphean task: when you almost succeed, but lose everything the moment you turn around to check your progress.daedalean task: when you’re forced to design something brilliant and functional… that you yourself will inevitably become trapped inside.medusan task: when your project becomes so horrifying that everyone involved freezes in place rather than deal with it.tantaline task: when success is right there, but bureaucracy or budget cuts keep snatching it away at the last moment, forever.pandoran task: when fixing one small issue unleashes a thousand new ones, but hey — at least there’s still hope somewhere in the ticket backlog.odyssean task: when the assignment technically has an end, but it’s buried under so many side quests that you forget what the original goal was.narcissian task: when the entire effort is about maintaining appearances rather than achieving anything of substance.promethean task: when you give people a powerful new tool that could transform their work — and are punished eternally for doing so.orestian task: when the mess you’re cleaning up is the direct result of the last cleanup you performed.thesean task: when the only way to finish is to disassemble everything piece by piece — until you’re no longer sure if what’s left is the same project you started.achillean task: when your work is flawless except for that one fatal oversight that will, inevitably, destroy you.penelopean task: when you diligently undo by night what you accomplish by day, just to keep the stakeholders pacified.midasean task: when everything you touch turns into paperwork, compliance documents, or gold-plated nonsense nobody actually needs.gordian task: not intended to be actually done, but violence is the answer.

@Badgardener All the Greek tragedies and myths are surprisingly modern once you adapt the vocabulary.
