I also thought the books were continuing but the main characters are like in their 70s by now, and I doubt she wants to kill them off. But there was a whole drama of the 1980s too, with kidnapping and conspiracies, that I thought she was going to address? Conspiracies through time! Who even knows.

Yeah, last I heard there was going to be at least one more book in the series.

Wikipedia says 9 out of a planned 10 have been published. 9 is the last one I heard about but have not read. I think I stopped reading after 5. Man, the first one was over 30 years ago, that's wild!

I know people have real problems, but I have to write my self-eval this afternoon. I already tried using AI and that didn't help at all.

My sympathies, Jesse. I barely have to do a self-eval anymore and I still hate doing it so very much. It does seem like the kind of bs AI should be good for!

Good news -- I figured out the method last year, and it still works! When I do my annual goals, I put them in a table with a second column of planned activities. Now I just have to add a third column and respond to all of the activities. It's boring, but at least it's easy.

I call bullshit, AI! Self-evaks should be a snap!

Shockingly, what AI produced was even more boring than what I just did, AND sounded less confident!

Wait, what? I know the TV show will end after the next season, but I thought the series was still ongoing. (Outlander) Does this mean I should actually force myself to finish book 10, which I got about 10% into and more or less died of boredom?

Ooops, I thought they had ended.

Easy but boring is pretty okay as far as onerous tasks go
