During the break at sprint dogs on the weekend, I found some birds to photograph - like this very handsome Australian wood duck, who seemed to have a strong opinion 😆

Another photo of my grand-dog, Lawson, and the legs of the very tall Nic (my future son-in-law) 😆
BTW, anyone interested can follow Lawson on Instagram. He's lawson_the_shiba there.

Yeah ... because employees understand that AI can't be trusted (we've all seen the mistakes!) whereas execs only care about the cost savings 😕
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Terrible back pain today.
People think of photography as a passive activity but after spending a few hours trying to get good photos of dogs running at full speed, I can confirm that it's a real workout.
I can barely move. So a gentle day for me which will be perfect for editing those doggo pix.

I went to a dog event yesterday and my grand dog, Lawson, was there living his best life.
So good to meet all the friendly doggos. A fun time.

A red-necked stint looking for food in the foam from the toxic algal bloom that has been impacting Gulf St Vincent for many months. I've been worried about the waders returning from overseas but so far there doesn't seem to be an impact.

We just heard that a grant application was unsuccessful.
Working in higher education is challenging.
No such thing as job security in the sector.
And the imminent university merger just compounds that insecurity.

These are my favourite shorebirds - with their ridiculous beaks 😆
They hold the world record for non-stop long-distance flight
with one recorded taking 11 days to fly 13,500km from Alaska to Tasmania. And they do that trip twice each year!

You might recall that I (along with other women) got a very abusive email from someone on twitter. I finally got a reply from the eSafety Commissioner from my report of 12 weeks ago saying they can't do anything. The police didn't want to know either. I'm fine. But - gah - zero consequences 😠
