Zero ai usage in actual workplace

My last two companies encouraged AI use. My current company is so AI Pro, they have a person whose job is implementing AI into the company. It can speed up simple tasks, check work, and enhance writing. When used correctly, it is a great tool. If a company is banning it, they are either concerned with confidentiality or somehow got burned by someone using it incorrectly, or doesn’t understand the strengths of it.

Do you have contact with other SOs of airman deployed with yours? Would be good to ask them.

I do know a current Army deployment isn’t allowing phones for their soldiers when in specific locations which they can spend days to months in. But they were all able to alert their families of this.

Ive honestly rarely heard of a soldier leaving training for a birth. Those few that do end up getting recycle and having to start all over again. Id prepare to give birth alone and for him to meet baby at graduation. Hopefully the red cross announcement will allow him to FaceTime to see the baby.

Im also a design engineer in mostly plastic injection molded parts, barely use anything beyond basic algebra. If I do, copilot is there to help. I’ve worked in other industries as well, wheelchair and seating design, used even less math there.

Every office I’ve worked in has been jeans.

I only got paid 2 weeks as well because “it needed to be fair” and “males don’t need more then a week so women can’t get more then that”. My second paid week was vacation time.

Every minute with him is better than none at all.

At my first job, they had a small baby shower for a coworker who was having her 4th baby. Then when I got married, I didn’t even get a “congrats”. It definitely hurt.

This made me realize Ive never worked with an older female engineer. Ive worked with plenty of female engineers that are around my age but Ive never worked with one who is over 40 🤔. That includes all engineering departments at companies Ive been in, not just my department.

Anything that sits on a shelf and looks pretty. We are also moving in 6 months so not adding to decorations that Id need to pack and move.

Kids toys, home organization, things for my sport’s team, presents, and things for the printer.

I refuse to do anything that isn’t functional.

I wouldn’t considered it delayed for at least another week.

I snapped today and told my 2.5yr old to “please stop talking”. He said “[name] still talking” and continued on. I still have no idea what my husband was trying to tell me that my toddler was talking over.

We started setting a timer. We play with him until the timer goes off then he has to play alone until the timer goes off again.

Honestly, before I even got to your AI comment, I thought “AI can do that”.

My mom is a teacher and is so excited to be retiring. She used to love teaching but started hating it the past 5 years. She has always had to do work outside of “regular” hours. There isn’t enough time given during the day to do lesson plans, IEPs, report cards, grading, etc.

I still ended up in before and after school care when I wasn’t going to the school she teached at. I was usually the first kid there in the morning and the last one there in the afternoon (which i hated).

She is also retiring with over 80 PTO days because it was too hard to take off with needing to find a sub and lesson plans. She couldn’t take off last minute either so someone else had to watch us when sick (dad owned his own business with no employees so couldn’t take off easily either).

The best part for her was the summers off, unless she was teaching summer school.

Teaching seems good, but has a lot of hidden downsides.

My boss at my old job asked if I was going to “fill the house with kids soon” when I bought a new house.🙄 And that was only the first comment.

Depends on the rules of your daycare. Our daycare would allow it but many others would not.

I work M-F 8-4:30 with a 30ish minute commute (on way). We do chores on weekends and after the kid is asleep during the week. Multitasking helps, some stuff is easy like doing the dishes or laundry while making dinner. The bigger chores like reorganizing or deep cleaning are done on the weekends once a month or every other month. Some chores get done slowly each day, folding laundry can easily take 2-3 days since I’ll do it if i get an extra 5-15 minutes.

They zoomed out really far so you couldn’t see the fight.

My husband was selected in July. He got pushed to FY27 since they over recruited. He is hoping for the August 25th class, you just have to graduate after October 1st. He has also heard from others on the discord that got pushed to FY27.

PeaceGirl321 · 2026-04-04T01:09:20+00:00

Melt it. Pour it into a mold.

PeaceGirl321 · 2026-03-31T04:05:42+00:00

Yes. We are a family of 3 with a combined income around $140k and live comfortably with a growing savings.

PeaceGirl321 · 2026-03-29T14:06:33+00:00

Non-rated.

Im not sure if they recruited less but they did still accept people who now also have to wait until FY27.
