What AI do you use

Because you don't work there. Or, to be more accurate, you're not paid to be there!...

It's always been thus.

Back in 2001, I had an agent insist that an opportunity was in Brentwood. "Brentford, you mean", I said. "No, definitely Brentwood". Thing is I lived in Brentwood and knew the client was based in Brentford.

Reminds me of outsourcing......

Visited the one near Brentwood several times. Including one when a bunch of parents helped out at a scout overnight stay at the bunker. Very creepy. We were told, strictly, no alcohol.

Once the kids were off to sleep, out came the scout leaders' beers. Me and a few of the dads shared a...

I had a very nice doze this afternoon in my garden. It's around 31C here, but a few years ago I planted wisteria and it makes it so shady and cool.

I always use the tunnel. It's the faffing about arriving early for the ferry that I can't be bothered with. However, I'm usually heading to Brighton or Ely. I got used to the tailbacks driving half way round the M25 and back for 2 years in the early 2000....

What AIs do you most often use?...

[NotAllThere]

Yes. This was expected.

It's a tough life....

Real contractors don't need heated pools.

I wuz ganged up on. No, we have to get it done soon because not only does it need doing, but it won't be tax deductable in two years time. Loads of people are trying to get in under the deadline so it's not easy to find someone to do it, let alone choose when!

And... it costs a fortune...

Having two of our bathrooms refurbished which will take about 5 weeks starting in the end of June. Unfortunately, we'll have to stay for our cat, as we can't use our house sitter with a bunch of workmen going to and fro.

So, we're not going anywhere. Maybe a week at the end of July....

SAP did that with the SAP Community Network. It changed a useful resource, with experts pooling knowledge into a barely usable pile of tulip.

I was in the moderator meeting where they announced that there would be no more strict moderation, and that engagement was key. I asked "So,...
