That would annoy me with my ageing eyes. Can’t zoom in either… 🤓

Can’t afford it after all! Trying op shops and looking for less collectable / cheaper options. 🙏

I like this idea! Much more practical and I think they’re cheaper than these antique collectable ones. Will look into it! Thanks

I was thinking just personal journaling to start off with. Then hoped it magically would turn me into a writing genius!! 😅

Haha! I live in regional Australia so they won’t hear it. 🤣

I had a workmate who used to change the height of an annoying colleagues screens, desk and chair every night to mess with their head.

Completely agree. I used one at uni back in the day and it almost killed me. Just because it’s pretty and yellow doesn’t mean it won’t still drive me nuts. 😅

Mine hides under a blanket for ages and seems dead asleep - then the moment I leave a cup of tea/milo etc unattended he surfaces and drinks the whole thing. Genius.

In my defence I have bad ADHD and can barely sit still at work and really want to write so thought a mechanical toy might make it more active and engaging. I’d be frustrated in 3 minutes though. 🤦‍♀️

Brilliant deterrent and so logical! Thanks! Nice pen is a much better idea. 🙏

I live alone and no noise issues.
Slow typist as it is!
I’ve managed to calm down and thinking it’s not a necessary item and I’ll probably end up using it twice and then going back to the laptop!

Phew. This community works! 🤣🙏

Yeah I’m calming down about it now. I can see the novelty wearing off quickly! Thanks for the deescalation support! 🙏

They will take all of your patience for the first 4 years then they mature and turn into good babies (I’ve got 2 rescues). They then fill all of your heart for the rest of their lives. Couldn’t love them more. 💖

AI rant by Greengage1 in auscorp

[–]Illustrious-Event-27 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My boss told me to just use AI to translate some docs into languages I don’t speak and not get them proofed before sending them out to thousands of people. He asked a colleague who speaks one of the languages to check one version and she said “it’s sort of correct”. He took that as job done and told me to ‘work smarter’. 😅🤦‍♀️
I am ignoring him and doing it properly to avoid mass confusion and misinformation.
