@DoctorEldritch I can utilize voice recognition with certain work like a normal spreadsheet. The problem comes in when I use the company's user panel to work. They've locked most features. For example, I can't copy and paste anything and it must be typed out. It also seems voice recognition software is blocked and disabled in the console.

They are very strict in their ways. My work is time-based. When I receive a two-hour project I must at least spend the full two hours on it or less. If I submit within 15 min or half an hour it would seem I just copied info from somewhere.

Those luxury features are blocked for me. 😑

@DracoTarot That does seem...I want to say annoying, but let's call it "unnecessarily complicated". I hope they have a good reason for rules like that, at least.

@DoctorEldritch the rules are clear, I'm getting paid for my work so from their side I need to show my efforts. I guess to make it a bit more time-consuming before remuneration!!

@DracoTarot Ah, when it comes to efforts and time for work, I am always reminded of this scene from the Office Space movie:

[DracoTarot]

@DoctorEldritch at least Peter is honest. I can imagine going into an interview and taking the same approach. The interviewers will throw me out the door like an old rag LOL!!

[DoctorEldritch]

@DracoTarot To be fair, Peter was under hypnosis at the time, but yeah, I get what you mean. Still, one can dream.

@DoctorEldritch never watched office space and didn't know he was hypnotized. I always stress before an interview and one of the most annoying questions imaginable is, where do you see yourself in 5 years' time? 😁

[DoctorEldritch]

@DracoTarot Ah, the plot in Office Space (it happens very early in the movie) is that Peter goes to hypnotherapy and the therapist puts him in a happy not caring mindset, but then has a heart attack, so Peter remains hypnotised indefinitely. So many comedy features result from that change of mindset for him.

As for seeing myself in 5 years, I think serving our AI overlords, like everyone else. Though I get what you mean, the world changes so fast and, at times, so unpredictable, it is hard enough to plan 1 year into the future, let alone 5. Shame real life can't be planned out like an economy simulator, Tropico or Simcity, it is much easier to plan there.

@DoctorEldritch I once said to an employer in five years I would like to see myself in his shoes and also be successful. For some kind of reason, he didn't find it amusing and thought I meant I would take his position away from him. I only meant to say I want to be successful and on top of my game in five years. He never phoned me back for a second interview.
