So I use a Keurig to make coffee because let’s face it, it’s easy, and I may have mentioned in the past that I am essentially lazy. I don’t know what this grinding coffee beans or using a French press is about. We are not in France, people. This is America, and in America, we drink easy-peasy coffee that takes no effort and tastes very average. 

Well, I ran out of coffee pods to put in the Keurig for my second cup of coffee. What’s a woman to do? Go to Starbucks, that’s what. But I promised myself I would stop spending enough money on coffee that I could use to eventually put a down payment on a house, or so they say. What I really should do is go to the grocery store, but I can’t seem to get myself there. I detest grocery shopping. 

It doesn’t make sense because I love shopping and I love food. There is so much food in grocery stores that have you ever wondered what happens to all that food that goes bad? And how do they even make a profit if they are buying like everything, and people are buying like one-tenth of what they have? I’m not good at math, but it doesn’t add up to me. 

Weight loss is funny, no, actually, I take that back, it’s harder than finding true love. And true love is nearly impossible to find, and is there even really such a thing as true love? It’s kind of like the perfect body; flawless bodies and true love only exist in Hallmark and Bollywood movies.

Losing weight is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. What’s really not funny is the fact that it takes an enormous amount of time and effort to lose weight, but you can gain it back in like one-tenth the time tenfold…or so I thought. We’ll get to that in a minute.

I would first just like to say that even when I’m losing weight, I’m constantly thinking about food. I’m not really sure if an hour passes by without me thinking about food. Imagining it, so to speak. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but still, this is the state that I live in. In fact, when I’m on a diet, I’m thinking about food more than when I’m not. What is this madness?

I don’t think I’m alone.

I had an interview for a job that was hosted by an AI bot or whatever you call them. He was definitely smarter than me. I felt like I was talking to a real human, and it was creepy. I didn’t understand why they would hire me when they had this brilliant robot thing. AI is fascinating and scary. It’s not about, will it replace us? But, when will it replace us.

We are not only competing with other people in the job market, but we are also competing with computer intelligence. I don’t know if I’ll make the cut. But it was interesting, I’m on a job site where you post your writing portfolio, every time I submitted an article, the AI would produce a title for the work. My titles were always better than the computer’s. So there.
