Congratulations!
Do I want to call back my client who was mia for our phone appointment earlier this week so I can make a little more $ or do I take the next couple of hours for myself before March Break commences?
This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. The Ford government wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.
I survived! Interestingly, another RD said they didn’t want to use these AI tools so they don’t lose the ability to do that part of the job and also raised the issue of environmental impacts.
Oh. That wasn’t in the thread so I didn’t see that. Still doesn’t seem right that they would make it so difficult for you.
That’s ridiculous. I went to my doctor last year and said I didn’t know if I’d ever gotten a second mmr vaccine. Got vaccinated at that appt. No cost.
I usually just bite my tongue. If they want to outsource their brain power to a water sucking, patriarchal, racist, hallucinating plagiarism machine who am I to yuck their yum?
One of my colleagues has added an AI scribe as an agenda item for our team meeting tomorrow and I am not sure I will survive the discussion.

Popular sentiment?
To have the hubris of a white man on social media.
It’s 12°C out and I am elated

I hate it here
Completely understandable. Take care of yourself.

Homemade!
@sciencevs.bsky.social seems relevant to your most recent episode.
This story is nuts
The journal ‘Pediatrics and Child health’ has been published an article type, for case reports, that are made up and fictional without having any clear notice 😱

Rewarding myself with a freshly baked cardamom bun
Back on my bullshit. Adapted a letter from @popns.bsky.social and sent it to Douglas Ford, Paul Calandra, Sylvia Jones, my school board trustee and superintendent, MPP, and the principal of my child’s school.

This (2020) is fascinating to read now:
"What is about to be unleashed on American society will be the greatest campaign ever created to get you to feel normal again. It will come from brands...from government...from each other...from the left and from the right."

Thanks for the input! I’m so discouraged by politics lately.
If only there were something we could do .....
I joined the federal NDP so I could vote in the leadership race but I don’t like any of the candidates 😭

Confession: I’ve been using regular coffee beans to make espresso and I think it actually tastes better than most espresso made with standard espresso beans.
