You are not unlucky. You are not going through a bout of bad luck. You are certainly not a failure.

“Would you be interested in evaluating my company.”
“I keep saying it’s not a good time. Send me an email.”
I understand there’s a script to follow, some boxes to check, a grumpy supervisor. But if this is the job, then sure, AI will take it.

So that you can recognise it, manage it, and enjoy all the little moments when suffering is not there.
