AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another

AI. It's AI that knows your work as well as you do. Visit Slack.com forward slash meet Slackbot

recommendations. This is episode 162 and we are recording

on January 2nd. I'm Jen Northington and I'm here with Amanda Nelson and we are coming to you

from Book Riot and it's 2019. What, what? 2019. I don't know. How did that even happen?

It needed a song. I guess. I don't know what day it is.

Or where I am or what's happening.

Same.

Same.

So that's fun.

Mm-hmm.

I didn't realize that this was like a common thing, but I have always had a lot of trouble with the week between Christmas and the first week of the year.

Like, time ceases to exist in that week. And I thought it was just me. But now we have the internet and memes. And I saw so many memes about like, where are we? Is it Monday? Is it Friday? I don't know. So apparently this is universal, which makes me feel better. Yeah. Even when I was working retail and like had to work, you know, that like I would get like Christmas and maybe a day before or after off, but otherwise I was just working, working. It still was weird because, you know, who knows what day of the week Christmas is. So you get this random, usually, you know, often, more often than not, because it's how time works.

It's a weekday. And so you're just like, okay, it is it. And it just, it kind of doesn't matter what day of the week because everybody's schedule is thrown off. And now that, you know, our offices are closed for the most part. I was just like, what is time? Yep. I don't have to do anything. Well, I mean, I did have things to do, but it was mostly good stuff. So that was nice. But yeah. So what are you

reading? I am reading. I got it too late to be part of the big romance read that everybody did

in December, I want to say it was.

But my library hold for Pride by E.B. Zaboy finally came in. And so I'm reading that.

And it is a contemporary retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in Bushwick, which is a neighborhood in Brooklyn, that is being gentrified.
