Making it a three day weekend

We had the most unusual summer in April / May this year. The weather is worm and almost feels like a real summer. I almost miss the rain. We probably would need rain soon to water the grass. I have an irrigation system, but this is way too early to turn it on. Usually I run it first time in June or July.

Tomorrow I am taking off from work and we are going for the early Mother's day St. Edward Afternoon Tea. Should be a fun little event, though I am still on the hook to drive our daughter to school and back which should only consume a couple hours tomorrow.

And we are going to pick up my mother in law on the way there. In between I am planning to do a couple things around the house, like vacuuming the first and second floors.

While we have a nice and early start to our weekend, this weekend promises to be an eventful one, on Saturday we are going to work on AI agents for my wife's business and I will also have to do some tax reporting.

On Sunday our son is coming over for a workout and a movie hopefully. He was actually here this week due to an internet outage at his place and he needed a reliable internet connection to work remotely.

So he was here in the morning and until six in the evening when he had to go to his evening MBA class. It was nice to have dinner together, we has meatballs and pasta that my wife made and he really enjoyed that dish.

But we didn't have time for a workout and we have not worked out together for a while since we were sick, then went to Hawaii for slightly more than a week and then his MBA classes started.

Sounds like his classes are hard, especially financial analysis class that he kept talking about. He is also cramming four graduate school classes in each quarter, because University of Washington is encouraging it.

Basically if you take one class you have to pay five thousand dollars for it, but if you take four classes you only pay ten thousand dollars. So basically you get two classes for free.

If he gets good grades his employer also reimburses up to five thousand dollars per year. So that is a good deal. What is not a good deal is that we found out this year that lifetime learning credit is not available for him even though he is making a normal or actually below normal salary for his age. Those numbers really need to get updated for the cost of living increases.

At work it is all about AI, what we found out is that any time humans are involved in the process it really slows down the roll out of the AI developed software.

We quickly roll out new functioning systems, but it takes forever for functional analysts to validate that everything is there and sign off on it and the same goes for the users of the system and security office. We should automate more of these processes as I believe AI will do those tasks quicker and more thoroughly. At this point humans are the bottleneck, no wonder companies are laying off people...

Those layoffs are probably speeding up delivery of the systems, but at some point there will be no humans working and if there are no humans working then there will be no consumers buying products that companies are producing using AI and the whole economy is going to come crashing down as we have a consumption based economy.

Something will have to change, but I don't think governments and people are ready for it...
