“its my thing!!” I say, dragging a dead deer through a conference hall

horrifying realization. i get pissed off at my boss using AI to do a shitty embarrassing job on things the whole team needs and irritably, pointedly redo it better, time and time again does this mean my boss... is using AI to improve my productivity??

Disappearing mysteriously into the fog but then the fog blows away and you see me crouching weirdly behind a dumpster

I’m at that age where I don’t know who anybody is and I don’t give a shit just like when I was 5 good to be home
