I finally jumped on the bandwagon and had AI create an image of me based on my job description as a recruiter in manufacturing…

And this is what it came up with 👇

Apparently, I work in a sleek office, wearing a suit, overlooking a dark and slightly gloomy industrial city while analyzing charts all day.

Not exactly reality 😄

In real life, I work from home in comfy clothes, usually wearing fun earrings and a flowy top. My “coworkers” are often a cat or dog sitting right on my desk, and my view is my backyard on a good day.

It’s funny how even AI has a certain picture in mind when it comes to manufacturing roles.

Just goes to show… there’s always more to the story than what’s on paper.

Now I’m curious…

If you work in manufacturing (or any role really), what does your actual workday view look like?

This month I’m celebrating a big birthday.

Half a century. 🎉

But I’ve decided to apply a little something I like to call twin math (kind of like girl math… but better 😄).

Since my twin brother and I have shared a birthday our entire lives, it only feels fair that we share the years too.

So really… we’re just turning 25.

Seems reasonable, right?

We’ve shared everything from day one
The spotlight
The cake
The “whose gift is whose” confusion

So splitting the years just feels like the next logical step

All jokes aside, I feel incredibly lucky to go through life with my built in best friend. Not everyone gets to grow up side by side with someone who knows you that well, supports you, and has been there for every single chapter.

Here’s to celebrating milestones
Appreciating the people who make life better
And maybe bending the math just a little when it works in your favor

Cheers to 25 🥂
