Two weeks of summer break, and I'm having trouble keeping track of what day it is.
I've been working a few extra shifts in the testing center - which never sleeps - so that's helped somewhat. The college summer session began yesterday, and I've already got one tutor signup whom I'll meet tomorrow. Thursday. Yes. Tomorrow is Thursday.
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the extra free time. Today, I went to Discount Tire and had a set of new tires installed. Ever been to a Discount Tire? The entire staff is so dang nice and courteous, it's almost weird. Like Stepford Wives, but Stepford Tire Shop Staff. I'm not complaining, since human interactions become less and less these days.
Speaking of human interaction, of the jobs that have been replaced by AI, I fully expected tutors to fall away years ago. But here we still are. In fact, both my jobs at the college are being performed by AI, but there are still those who want real-life tutors and real-life test administrator/ proctors, and I guess I can understand that.
AI tutors won't genuinely sympathize when hearing, "as if I'm ever gonna have to [insert annoying math concept here] when I get a job!"
AI test proctors won't compliment your cute shoes or empathize at how worthless women's pockets are when checking for cheat notes.
And speaking of unplugging, I'm enjoying these late springtime days. I caught some goose babies and a curious horse on my morning wanderings yesterday.
That was Tuesday. Which makes today Wednesday.
I think?
Being retired I often lose track of what day it is and sometimes remark to my husband .. is it Friday already??
ReplyDeleteI have. no measure of time, no knowing what day it is and not caring. such a freedom!
ReplyDeleteTesting has always annoyed me, I don't know how you do it without throwing hands up yelling EFF this Sh*t! Although, that said, there ought to be more testing done before a super dumb guy gets into the oval office. Even basics...like reading or speaking the English language...would have been helpful.
You made me giggle at the thought of AI telling a student they had cute shoes. lolololololol.
ReplyDeleteIt's so refreshing to get courteous service people nowadays! I think AI saying something like you have cute shoes is rather creepy! It's easy to lose track of time when you're not working, but I still lose track of the days either way!
