:failtusk: :CApride:I live in a house with a spouse and cairn terrier (Bennie) on Treaty 6 territory and homeland of the Metis 🇨🇦 
I retired in 2018 from a compliance position at a multinational. Now I twiddle around the house between volunteering, hanging out with Bennie & reaping the rewards of having a spouse with a greenhouse & 3D printing interests.
Interests include tech, occupational health & safety and science-based health & wellness. Volunteering is the antidote to social media. I am Canadian.
Cass M 🇨🇦 :failtusk: :CApride:My question is why AI is needed? Using simple voice recorder software that does text to speech would give staff a good opportunity to review the and correct appointment information.

Cass M 🇨🇦 :failtusk: :CApride:Spouse flipped from Apple and his new smartwatch went for repair 2 days after he got it. He's been enjoying his fancy watches.

Cass M 🇨🇦 :failtusk: :CApride:What a tragedy. It's not playing the blame game, to ensure someone is held responsible for preventing a recurrence.

Cass M 🇨🇦 :failtusk: :CApride:Fred has a sensitive tooth so he called the dentist office around 8:15, then again at 8:30 because he got his Dr appointment time wrong. Got in for 9. Finished getting bread dough together, brushed his teeth and was still early. THIS is why we live in a small city.
