But this year feels like a crucible, and I would like to share that being half exposed raw nerve and half disassociated shadow is not pleasant.

Ultimately, I'll be fine, and it was an inevitable fight. I just keep gritting my teeth and pushing forward, but some days are shakier than others.

I pity her, because she could have been a titan, but she fell victim to her trauma and lived the kind of life where literally everyone is waiting for her to die so we can finally breathe.

She is the reason I fight my trauma so hard, bc I am very much her granddaughter, so at least there's that.

Hmmm. I might have to spend some time writing it up, you're not the first person to ask.

In the meantime, literally ask Copilot to explain why humans are better than AI for X process. It has a whole list.

Meanwhile, my coworker points out that Copilot performs better if she bullies it and is "mildly toxic", so it's good to know the average kinks of AI bros, I guess.

Check broken links, compile a page count across a doc suite, track external references, pull a list of tables, notify me if something is going over SLA bc of a delay on another team...all if this would be SO HELPFUL but no, let's have it write shit emails and call that revolutionary.
