The only conclusion is that this is happening so much more often than we know about, and this principal is one of the few who can make her concerns heard.

My grandmother did the same. She was carping on about someone and I snapped back that she lacked the willpower to stop smoking so she didn't have any right to call someone lazy. She went from chain smoking to nothing overnight on pure spite. We never reconciled, but she saved a lot of money.

She is who she says she is (we've met multiple times in person) and what you are doing is gross. If you think 'the work' is harassing random disabled woman on the internet because you don't like the way they talk, it might he time to find another cause.

Early 20s is when the big scary ones come on, and there's little enough support as it is. Anyone turning to an AI support is in huge trouble and they dont even know it.

Its something I think about a lot. I have pyschosis intermittently and a validation machine is the worst possible thing I could have access to at those times. And its being thrust into everything. I have huge concerns for people whose mental health is slipping for the first time.

You can do colouring on a jury. Or knitting. Woman on mine was making a korowai. Six weeks we spent listening and crafting and discussing.

Our entire team had to stop working. Nothing could be sent until it was resolved. So, for sure info managers talk a big game. But I'll wait and see.

It should. And I want to believe. But someone in that area decided to swap Adobe for Nitro (it comes for free, I don't know why everyone isn't already using it!) and rolled that out only to discover it can't work on docs imported from Adobe or Kofax and it has sub par redaction tools.

We have SharePoint. But its not the main doc management tool. As far as im aware no one had moved their doc archives to SharePoint and you can't use it to search the email system.

This excludes sign out managers, comms teams and Minister's offices. I couldn't comment on how they see the role of an OIA team.

The Act literally requires us to be helpful and as long as your editor hasn't tried to threaten my job to get immediate responses, and your request doesn't contain threats or slurs, we will.

I have bad news, we cannot. But I also have good news, most people actually pulling the info want to find what you're looking for and if you approach them as people who want to help and will do what they can, you will get a better result than trying to guess at system and info.

Looking at this conversation it kind of reflects the difficulty here. There is a big gap between what people outside agencies think is happening in them with document management. If you're understanding is that we can slap a keyword into a search bar and give you a comprehensive list of relevant doc

SharePoint is used. But I don't think its anyone's main doc management system. Not for archives and emails. Its fine for day to day stuff, although it has PDF issues (Nitro is terrible and it doesn't always work well with other apps).

Could be 'project XX' was actually 'project XY' until recently, and you're missing important docs on the topic.

That's why I'd be suspicious. If you ask for 'everything that contains the phrase "XX"' and get anything other than a request to refine or rescope, something is missing. Could be emails, could be meeting notes, could be docs not filed.

The main issue is that pulling a list of every document that contains a specific phrase is a huge job. I would be very suspicious of any agency who answered that question. Their filing might not be that good. Beyond which, people working on policy will use jargon and acronyms which change.

This is a tangent, I had some very free comments in an email set for release, told the person that it could be free and frank if he affirmed it would inhibit future opinions. And he was clear it would not, if anyone tried anything so daft again he'd say it to them too. So it stayed in.
