A Comedy in Six Screenshots

Since I stopped posting daily, I’ve been doing a lot more writing by hand. I have a very nice journal (this one, if you’re curious) and it’s been nice to get more tactile with my art again.

Of course, the big downside of handwriting is it’s harder to get it into a computer so I can revise and publish it.

I’ve been working on a complete rewrite of my poem “is,” and I figured I’d try getting an LLM to transcribe my draft for me instead of typing it in by hand. (I mean, if you can’t use these things for OCR how useful can they possibly be?)

The results were quite a bit funnier than I expected! At first, my phone’s AI transcribed the page perfectly (in between smothering me with sychophantic flattery), but when I started trying to crop the image to get a transcript of only part of the page…well, see for yourself:

Essentials

I like to snack throughout the day, so I try to keep my desk stocked with all the basic food groups:

A large bag of Nerds Gummy Clusters, a bag of Kirkland roasted almonds, three cans of soda, a box of Pop-Tarts, and two containers of Easy-Mac.
(Gummy, Salty, Fizzy, Pastry, and Cheese.)

Why Am I Like This, pt. XVI

Five minutes later: Okay, I think that’s everything.

*checks watch*

Me: …it’s been THIRTY minutes??

I Love This Mug

This is my office mug. It’s got a bunch of banned books on it, which is great, but it also has THIS on the bottom and I can’t believe I didn’t notice it sooner:

Here’s the rest of the mug, if you’re curious:

Autocorrect: Still Better Than the Alternative, Usually, I Guess

My daughter asked me when the first day of spring is, so I did a search for it:

Not my finest moment, linguistically speaking

P.S. stop using Google and switch to DuckDuckGo. With all the AI slop and deceptive ads and algorithmic tweaking Google’s added, their results are actually worse now. There is literally no reason not to switch.

I Love My Coworkers

One of the folks on our office’s GSA group chat posted this:

A calendar app with four scheduled events between 1 and 4:30 pm: "Meeting with IMPORTANT VENDOR," "Mental Breakdown Time (MANDATORY)," "IMPORTANT HUDDLE," and "IMPORTANT BRAINSTORM."
Gonna be putting “Mandatory Mental Breakdown” for all my appointments now
