@f0xh0les … I’m saying nuffink …! 😂 In all seriousness, my parents live 200 miles away so she is fairly safe 😉

@SandyShores, sympathies x
I haven’t actually seen my parents in person for c. 3 years now? I’m not allowed to visit as apparently it’s ’inconvenient’ 🤷‍♀️

@savingholmes, thank you for the good wishes 😊

@greenbee, an AI startup would pay me for my industry experience?? I’m intrigued! 😊🤔

Families!!!

I do think most of us should investigate the ai opportunities and get ahead of the curve.

Families indeed!!

You have evolved to a level that's so much higher than your mother @KajiKita that she will never understand you.  After years of wrestling with wishing I had a different relationship with mine, the day I stopped wishing was the day it started to improve.   Never forget how fab you are love Humdinger xx

@savingholmes, I wouldn’t be averse to working with AI but I wouldn’t know where to start, that’s why Greenbee’s comment intrigued me 😊

Thanks Beanie 😊❤️

@Humdinger1, thank you x It always amazes me that I forget that my mother has a mean streak, a mile wide, that surfaces occasionally … Something ‘snapped’ in me yesterday and I found myself internally, instinctively and confidently rejecting her judgements on me. There have been many times over the years when she has read me 100% correctly but I think you are right, we have just diverged too much now for her life experiences and advice to me, on a personal level, to be relevant to me any more. She doesn’t live my life nor does she live with me, so I trust Mr KK’s and my friends’ perceptions of me much more, I realised, as I bashed at the garden yesterday afternoon 😉

you rock. I love that you rejected maternal judgments so confidently.  Fabulous work.      We learn to live our lives - great example

@f0xh0les, I don't mind them not speaking to me, but why do they want to see me to make the point they aren't speaking to me?!?

So they can talk about you of course.
You are the pinnacle of family gossip, the one who got away, the famed unicorn!

Vertical/industry/domain-specific AI is what's needed now. So if you can identify AI-startups in your industry (or even some of the key software vendors you use who will be trying to work out how to use AI), they will be looking for industry experts to help them work out where AI can add value and where it won't. And then to help them develop the capabilities, as well as work with their customers to make the changes needed to implement the AI.

Moms.  Hmm.  And even dads!!  

So many times I've tried to explain what I did at work and they just didn't get it unless it was something really quite simple.  Like when I ran a box office for an orchestra.  To them that was that I sold tickets.  Umm.  Yes but did a lot of computer programming, stats, helped on marketing campaigns, inventory control.  No point in talking to them on other roles like FX settlements, pension admin, reasonable adjustments.   

But the positive takeaway was at one point it became obvious that my mom was jealous of me going out and doing various jobs.  She trained as a nurse and the week after she qualified she married and that was the end of her as a professional.  Obviously she worked as a mom, helped my dad's business, managed rental properties, and was an antique dealer but to her none of those things were working.

Ah, I see … thank you. <tucks idea away in back pocket for later exploration and remaining open to the possible opportunities that might arise …> 😊

Oh @brie, that sounds pretty bad … 

Frustrating day in work, nuff said. 

CV updated this evening and shared with recruiter about Wednesday. If that job doesn’t work out at least my CV is now usable to chuck up on the t’interweb now … 😉
