Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work?

“No, the casting is on the top floor, press the button that says CASTING.”
"Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work."

Huh? Why?
"Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work."

Ok so this is what it looks like from the front and the back. I included at least 8 other variants, let me know which one speaks to you.

The best way I can articulate the way we can clock a genAI illustration is that the highlights and shadows have not been applied with a heart full of love.

If you think about it, Knives Out - Glass Onion pretty much is a Muppets movie when you compare it to what the billionaires and their academic rent-a-friends get up to on their islands.

Mistakenly assumed that the poster for a Writhing Retreat had a typo on it and ended up spending the week in a bog with some worm people.

any time ai/finance/tech "disruptors" talk about artists/writers "gatekeeping" the answer is not to point them to free resources because they genuinely don't care. the answer is to smile and say "yeah we are & nobody wants your 'solution'"
