~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

The goals I did not achieve
Every writing goal I made for the year is a wash. It has been this way for a while, but I think it's important to be open about my failures and the reality of how life can get in the way. This is especially true considering the several times I have posted on Vocal about my writing goals, how I was changing my approach, and where I was hoping to be for the upcoming year. I will probably do that again in a couple months, but for now, it is time to acknowledge where I am today.

Listening To My Thoughts
December 4, 2025 I have not been writing for a while. I had a lot going on over the past few months that hindered my creative mind. My PTSD regarding my ex-husband. I read a lot of books to help me through my dealings with my abusive husband. I had my genuine validation when he was sentenced to 15 years by a judge last year.

Completely on the Fly (November). Content Warning.
Ooh, it's been a few months since I did one of these pieces, and it shows. My mental health is on the floor at the moment, and then I thought, I need to write something on Vocal. I am so ADHD I forgot that I HAD been doing these 'on the fly' pieces - without thought, censorship, or embarrassment. So here I am again!

What I learned working in the cannabis industry. Content Warning.
Over the last 13 years I was a budtender in the medical then recreational cannabis industry in Washington State. I also had the pleasure of working on a cannabis grow operation where I trimmed and packaged cannabis. It’s truly amazing to see how far we have come in Washington state with the cannabis industry. Over the last 13 years I watched us go from medical ma and pa shops to chain cannabis stores. The future is bright for the cannabis industry.
