“Stay After School, Oppo! Discipline, here!”
T.A. used to stand for Teacher’s Assistant. She needs no assistance.
“Thanks for staying after school, Stud Oppo! I’ve never been quite so satisfied.”
“Please forgive me for not being able to satisfy you.”
“You’re leaving me for a weather babe?”
Uh-oh for me.
Google Lays Off Hundreds Working on Its Voice-Activated Assistant
Semafor | Jan 10, 2024 | Louise MatsakisGoogle is laying off hundreds of people working on its voice-activated Google Assistant software and eliminating a similar number of roles on its knowledge and information product teams, a Google spokesperson confirmed to Semafor on Wednesday.
Google told Semafor the restructuring would help improve Google Assistant as it explores integrating newer artificial intelligence technology into its products. The company announced in October that it was using its generative AI chatbot Bard to build a new version of Google Assistant that “extends beyond voice, understands and adapts to you and handles personal tasks in new ways.”
Google has been making periodic job cuts over the past year, including in its recruiting and news divisions, but it has not conducted company-wide layoffs since last January, when it eliminated approximately 12,000 roles.
All the greatest journalists use exclamation points.
First Ever FEMALE Pastry Chef of the Year
EuroWeekly News | 13 Dec 2023 | Jennifer PopplewellIn Paris, France, Nina Metayer is now the first woman to win one of the world’s top pastry chef awards, World Confectioner.
This is the first time in the history of the 92 year award, from the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs, that it has ever gone to a woman! Her incredible cakes were what did the trick, and she explained that she was not one to follow the new low fat trends, “I like cakes with butter, gluten and eggs” she stated, “when we eat a cake, it’s for pleasure.”
… So, she’s a philosopher, to boot.
Although she trained as a baker,
… an important distinction, apparently …
Nina revealed that she found it tough to break into the male dominated world of French boulangeries when she started out 15 years ago. However, Nina Metayer does not currently work in a luxury cafe or even a pastry shop, she actually runs a delivery service out of an industrial space in a business district that is just outside of Paris.
In addition to her career successes, Nina is also a mother of two, and in true magic- multitasking-mother style, she often posts videos on social media of her creating her famous cakes alongside her young daughters. She stated that she “wants to show it is possible to be a female chef, entrepreneur, and have a happy family”.
I would have sworn that was impossible.
What a woman, and an inspiration to young girls, mothers and women everywhere, showing that they too can make their dreams come true!
What a journalist, proving just the opposite!
“Why Miss Monroe, fresh off the slopes?”
“Yes Sir, Miss Welch called in today so I rushed to fill in.”
“That’s Great!”
“I have some stuff from that nice Mr. Slapout. But also a small problem”
“Problem?“
“Yes, it was cold out there today and I’m freezing.”
“Well get the memes up and we’ll get you warm and toasty.”
“You can do that?”
“Ooooh yeh.”
Winner
