[conjugate-wumbo]

throwing these carcar wips out into the ether to make sure I actually finish some of them:

loud places

oscar is a pure empath - he can feel what others are feeling around him, acutely if they touch him. it's all very overwhelming all the time, so as a form of exposure therapy, he spends every friday night at a nightclub. the rest of the week feels tolerable after a night of overstimulation. one such night he hooks up with a handsome stranger who doesn't callously discard him at the end of the night like the others. handsome stranger takes care of him, gives him a snack, and pays for his uber back home, all the while radiating genuine caring energy. said stranger also shows up at oscar's workplace on monday morning. "meet your new manager, carlos." shenanigans ensue.

the 24-year-old brain cannot comprehend this

after a year of crushing hard on carlos, oscar and carlos are finally in the beginnings of dating - the really-getting-to-know-each-other phase. unfortunately oscar is still 23-24 and has smashed peas in place of a fully developed prefrontal cortex, making him immature, insecure, and toxic. carlos realizes oscar is not ready for this yet and breaks things off, leaving oscar in an even messier state. oscar has to learn to grow up a bit before they can get their happy ending. aka join me on an autobiographical tour of my worst aura moments!

across the stars

star wars prequel era au. carlos is a newly promoted jedi knight, and oscar is his former master's (fernando) new padawan. (in my headcanon, force-sensitive kids do the youngling group training until like middle school age, and then they become padawans - obviously i'm trying to mirror the grid kid oscar vs debut gp carlos dynamic.) kind of a slice of life coming of age together + plus secret romance in the shadows. tempted to make this a tragedy à la order 66 ending.

hex

major age difference but not in the way you think. oscar is a 90-year-old vampire. carlos works the night security shift at a museum to supplement his meager stipend as an art history grad student. carlos falls first, but oscar falls harder. cue existential crises about life and immortality and can you tell i was watching interview with the vampire when this idea struck me.

enterprise risk management

workplace au. oscar is a meticulous, per the policy, by the book, senior accountant at a major nonprofit. carlos is the big personality applications manager in IT. they have to work together on the implementation of a new accounting software, and carlos's seemingly lax attitude just drives oscar up the wall. oscar is glad when the impementation is over. until he inexplicably misses carlos. so oscar starts trying to invent issues with the software as an excuse to get carlos to come over to his desk. ("stop inventing.")

cerulean himbo sunshine

coffee shop / tattoo parlour au. light and fluffy (hopefully). carlos runs a hip local coffee shop down the street from the tattoo collective oscar just joined. carlos is super annoying, always singing along to his stupid playlist, and worse he's already friends with everyone at the tattoo collective so oscar is alone in his annoyance. but carlos has is fair share of annoyances about oscar too - for instance, why does he never order an actual coffee? classic reluctant acquaintances to lovers. picturing carlos as the titular himbo.

outdoor school

oscar and carlos are grad students who have to spend the summer as camp counselors as part of their outreach project. and they're forced to share a tiny cabin. honestly this writes itself, i have mo excuse not to finish it. i guess i just love writing them as grad students.

plus a few more that are just barely ideas that i'm too tired to include here.

Caleb Ecarma and Judd Legum at Popular Information:

Several of Elon Musk’s associates installed at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) have received unprecedented access to federal human resources databases containing sensitive personal information for millions of federal employees. According to two members of OPM staff with direct knowledge, the Musk team running OPM has the ability to extract information from databases that store medical histories, personally identifiable information, workplace evaluations, and other private data. The staffers spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly and feared professional retaliation. Musk Watch also reviewed internal OPM correspondence confirming that expansive access to the database was provided to Musk associates.

The arrangement presents acute privacy and security risks, one of the OPM staffers said. Among the government outsiders granted entry to the OPM databases is University of California Berkeley student Akash Bobba, a software engineer who graduated high school less than three years ago. He previously interned at Meta and Palantir, a technology firm chaired by Musk-ally and fellow billionaire Peter Thiel. Edward Coristine, another 2022 high school graduate and former software engineering intern at Musk’s Neuralink, has also been given access to the databases.

Other Musk underlings embedded at OPM following President Donald Trump’s inauguration include the agency’s new chief of staff, Amanda Scales, who until January was a human resources staffer at xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence firm, and Brian Bjelde, who has spent the past 21 years at Musk's SpaceX, including the last 10 leading the human resources department. They are joined by Gavin Kliger, a former Twitter software engineer serving as a special advisor to the director of OPM, and Riccardo Biasini, a former software engineer at Musk’s tunneling venture, the Boring Company. OPM did not respond to a request for comment. Shortly after Trump took office, OPM installed Greg Hogan to serve as its new chief information officer (CIO). Hogan was tapped to replace OPM CIO Melvin Brown, who had accepted the job less than a month ago. The civil servants who oversee the OPM’s information technology services were then instructed to provide access to Musk's associates, according to the OPM staffers who spoke to Musk Watch. One of the OPM staffers received an email from the agency’s new leadership instructing them to give Musk’s team “access [to] the system as an admin user" and "code read and write permissions." “They have access to the code itself, which means they can make updates to anything that they want,” the staffer explained. USAJOBS, the federal government’s official hiring site, was one of the systems that Musk's associates were given access to. The database stores personal information — Social Security numbers, home addresses, employment records — provided by private individuals who have applied for federal jobs, regardless of whether the applicants went on to work for the government. Musk’s aides were also given access to the OPM’s Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) system. Contained within the EHRI are the Social Security numbers, dates of birth, salaries, home addresses, and job descriptions of all civil government workers, along with any disciplinary actions they have faced. “They’re looking through all the position descriptions… to remove folks,” one of the OPM staffers said of Musk’s team. “This is how they found all these DEI offices and had them removed — [by] reviewing position description level data.” Other databases Musk’s team has access to include USA Staffing, an onboarding system; USA Performance, a job performance review site; and HI, which the government uses to manage employee health care. “The health insurance one scares me because it's HIPAA [protected] information, but they have access to all this stuff,” the OPM staffer noted.

[...] A new server being used to control these databases has been placed in a conference room that Musk’s team is using as their command center, according to an OPM staffer. The staffer described the server as a piece of commercial hardware they believed was not obtained through the proper federal procurement process. There is a legal requirement that the installation of a new server undergo a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), a formal process to ensure the change would not create any security vulnerabilities. But in this instance, the staff believes there was no PIA. “So this application and corresponding hardware are illegally operating,” they added. On Friday, Reuters reported that some senior civil servants have been blocked from accessing the EHRI and other OPM systems, making it difficult for career OPM employees to know what Musk’s team has been examining or modifying. In the same report, the outlet revealed the team had moved sofa beds into the agency's headquarters to continue their work around the clock.

This should be a major national news scandal.

Elon Musk and the underlings he put in place at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) have jeopardized data privacy and national security.

News of the Day 6/11/25: AI

Paywall free.

More seriously, from the NY Times:

"For Some Recent Graduates, the A.I. Job Apocalypse May Already Be Here" (Paywall Free)

You can see hints of this in the economic data. Unemployment for recent college graduates has jumped to an unusually high 5.8 percent in recent months, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently warned that the employment situation for these workers had “deteriorated noticeably.” Oxford Economics, a research firm that studies labor markets, found that unemployment for recent graduates was heavily concentrated in technical fields like finance and computer science, where A.I. has made faster gains. [...] Using A.I. to automate white-collar jobs has been a dream among executives for years. (I heard them fantasizing about it in Davos back in 2019.) But until recently, the technology simply wasn’t good enough. You could use A.I. to automate some routine back-office tasks — and many companies did — but when it came to the more complex and technical parts of many jobs, A.I. couldn’t hold a candle to humans. That is starting to change, especially in fields, such as software engineering, where there are clear markers of success and failure. (Such as: Does the code work or not?) In these fields, A.I. systems can be trained using a trial-and-error process known as reinforcement learning to perform complex sequences of actions on their own. Eventually, they can become competent at carrying out tasks that would take human workers hours or days to complete.

I've been hearing my whole life how automation was coming for all our jobs. First it was giant robots replacing big burly men on factory assembly lines. Now it seems to be increasingly sophisticated bits of code coming after paper-movers like me. I'm not sure we're there yet, quite, but the NYT piece does make a compelling argument that we're getting close.

The real question is, why is this a bad thing? And the obvious answer is people need to support themselves, and every job cut is one less person who can do that. But what I really mean is, if we can get the outputs we need to live well with one less person having to put in a day's work to get there, what does it say about us that we haven't worked out a way to make that a good thing?

Put another way, how come we haven't worked out a better way to share resources and get everyone what they need to thrive when we honestly don't need as much labor-hours for them to "earn" it as we once did?

I don't have the solution, but if some enterprising progressive politician wants to get on that, they could do worse. I keep hearing how Democrats need bold new ideas directed to helping the working class.

The Benefits of Outsourcing Payroll Services in UK

One of the most crucial parts of managing a business is payroll. For smooth operations, employees must be paid on time and accurately according to tax laws. According to Manag, internal payroll is complicated, time-consuming, and error-prone.

For this reason, many UK-based companies outsource their payroll services. Through outsourcing, a company can save Time, reduce costs, ensure strict compliance with HMRC regulations, and focus on expanding its operations. The following article describes the major benefits of outsourcing UK payroll services and why firms of any size should opt for it.

1. Decrease Administrative Load and Save Time

Payroll processing consumes much time and labor, especially in organizations with hundreds of employees. Activities like following up on pensions, determining earnings, and making tax deductions can take up to 30 hours monthly.

UK-based business organizations may diminish the administrative burden and allow the HR and finance teams to focus on critical roles such as employee training and business expansion.

2. Confirms Conformity to UK Payroll Legislation

HMRC, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, controls the UK's payroll. The following are some rules by which companies have to be governed:

PAYE ensures that everyone gets the proper deductions for taxes and national insurance. Automatic-enrolment pension schemes: managing the pension contributions of the employees.

Payroll details will be filed with HMRC through RTI returns.

Payroll processing mistakes may lead to penalties or legal issues. 

Payroll outsourcing ensures that experts handle compliance, reducing the likelihood of fines and legal complications.

3. Reduces Processing Charges for Payroll

Though some companies believe handling payroll in-house will save money, the cost is often much higher due to the software, employee training, and probable errors. A firm can save by paying a flat rate to an outside source for its payroll service instead of keeping a payroll department in-house.

4. Fewer Payroll Errors

Payroll inaccuracies, especially errors in making the proper taxation, delayed or unduly made salaries, etc, can eventually cause HMRC penalties and irate employees. The UK utilizes professional payroll solutions that employ professionals for payroll together with automated platforms that ensure reliability and minimize possible costly mistakes

5. Has Private and Security-Payroll Processing

Internal payroll processing might lead to fraud and data theft. Payroll companies that are outsourced encrypt, have a secure system, and follow the GDPR to keep the sensitive information of the workers' payroll secure and confidential.

6. Satisfaction of Workers

Worker satisfaction goes up when payrolls are made correctly and within Time. Employees want:

✔ Correct salary disbursals

✔ Easy online payslips

✔ A clear tax and deduction statement

Outsourced payroll services guarantee employees receive their pay on Time, every Time, which means employees will trust and be satisfied in the workplace.

10. Business Growth Focus

Outsourcing payroll services gives business owners and managers Time to focus on strategic growth initiatives rather than wasting Time on payroll administration. Payroll in expert hands means businesses can scale operations, improve services, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Conclusion

Outsourcing payroll services in the UK is wise for businesses that want to save Time, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with UK payroll regulations. Professional payroll providers can help companies minimize errors, improve employee satisfaction, and focus on growing their business without payroll-related stress.

Whether you run a small startup or a large enterprise, outsourcing payroll ensures accurate, secure, and hassle-free payroll management—making it a worthwhile investment for any business.

How AI-Powered Virtual Recruiters Are Reshaping Hiring

In today’s fast-paced and digitally connected world, recruitment has evolved far beyond traditional job postings and manual resume screening. Enter AI-powered virtual recruiters—a transformative force reshaping how companies attract, engage, and hire talent. These intelligent systems combine artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP) to automate and optimize every stage of the recruitment process, delivering faster and more efficient results.

What Are AI-Powered Virtual Recruiters?

AI-powered virtual recruiters are software solutions or digital assistants designed to mimic the actions of human recruiters. They can manage tasks such as resume screening, candidate outreach, initial interview questions, scheduling, and even predictive analytics. Unlike traditional recruiting tools, these virtual agents are always active, working 24/7 to ensure that no opportunity—or candidate—is missed.

Key Benefits of AI-Powered Virtual Recruiters

Speed and Efficiency One of the most significant advantages of using AI-powered virtual recruiters is the ability to process applications and identify suitable candidates quickly. By automating repetitive tasks, recruiters save valuable time and focus more on strategic decision-making and candidate engagement.

Improved Candidate Experience With virtual recruiters handling communication, candidates receive quicker responses, updates, and guidance throughout the hiring journey. This consistent communication helps improve employer branding and overall candidate satisfaction.

Bias Reduction Traditional hiring processes are prone to unconscious biases. AI-powered virtual recruiters evaluate candidates based on data-driven criteria rather than subjective judgment, helping create a more diverse and inclusive workplace.

Scalability Whether a company is hiring 10 or 10,000 employees, AI-powered systems scale effortlessly. They can manage high application volumes without compromising on accuracy or quality, making them ideal for enterprises and staffing agencies alike.

Cost-Effectiveness By automating tasks such as sourcing, screening, and scheduling, companies can significantly reduce hiring costs. This makes AI-powered virtual recruiters an attractive option for startups and small businesses looking to grow efficiently.

How AI-Powered Virtual Recruiters Work

These virtual recruiters use sophisticated algorithms to scan and match resumes against job descriptions. Some systems are equipped with conversational AI, allowing them to conduct initial candidate interactions via chat or voice. Others integrate with applicant tracking systems (ATS) and HR software to streamline workflow and data sharing.

The more data the system processes, the smarter it becomes—thanks to machine learning. Over time, AI-powered virtual recruiters can learn hiring preferences, improve matching accuracy, and deliver better hiring outcomes.

Use Cases Across Industries

From tech companies and healthcare providers to retail giants and educational institutions, businesses across all sectors are embracing AI-powered virtual recruiters. Staffing agencies are particularly benefiting, as these tools help them fill roles faster and more accurately, improving client satisfaction and boosting revenue.

The Future of Recruitment

As remote work, gig economy models, and global talent pools continue to grow, the need for efficient, data-driven hiring processes becomes more critical. AI-powered virtual recruiters are not just a trend—they are a glimpse into the future of HR.

By blending speed, intelligence, and personalization, they help organizations stay ahead in a competitive talent market. Forward-thinking companies that embrace these technologies will gain a distinct edge in attracting the best talent while optimizing recruitment operations.

Conclusion

AI-powered virtual recruiters represent a powerful shift in the recruitment landscape. With their ability to streamline processes, reduce bias, and improve candidate experience, they are becoming indispensable tools for modern HR teams and staffing agencies. As AI technology continues to advance, these virtual recruiters will only become smarter and more intuitive—making hiring faster, fairer, and more efficient than ever before.

How Biometric Devices Improve Employee Time Tracking

In an era where organizations strive for efficiency, accuracy, and security, managing employee attendance has evolved from traditional punch cards and manual logbooks to high-tech solutions. Among the most transformative innovations is the biometric device, a software that has revolutionized how companies track and manage employee time.

Whether you're a small business or a large enterprise, ensuring accurate time tracking is essential for payroll, productivity, and workforce management. Biometric devices offer a modern solution by linking attendance to unique human characteristics such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans - making time fraud and buddy punching things of the past.

What Is a Biometric Device?

A biometric device is a piece of hardware used to identify individuals based on unique biological traits. In the context of workplace management, these devices are typically deployed for access control and attendance tracking. Unlike traditional systems that require ID cards or PINs, biometric systems ensure that only the actual individual can clock in or access a restricted area.

Biometric devices can come in various forms:

Fingerprint scanners

Facial recognition systems

Iris recognition devices

Voice recognition tools

The growing popularity of biometric technology is due to its speed, accuracy, and ease of integration with other HR and payroll systems.

Common Problems with Traditional Time Tracking Methods

Before diving into how biometric devices improve employee time tracking, it’s worth understanding the limitations of traditional systems:

Buddy punching: Employees clock in or out for each other, leading to time theft.

Manual errors: Human oversight when entering or correcting data can lead to payroll discrepancies.

Lost or stolen access cards: These can pose both a security and operational risk.

Lack of real-time data: Delayed updates make it difficult to monitor workforce performance.

These challenges not only impact payroll accuracy but also affect overall productivity and morale.

How Biometric Devices Transform Time Tracking

1. Accuracy and Reliability

Biometric devices are incredibly accurate. Because they rely on individual traits that cannot be duplicated or shared, they offer reliable verification each time an employee clocks in or out. This eliminates common issues like buddy punching or fraudulent time logging.

For instance, a facial recognition-based biometric device ensures that only the authorized individual can record attendance. This means more accurate payroll processing and fewer disputes between HR and employees.

2. Real-Time Attendance Monitoring

Biometric systems provide real-time data on employee attendance. This allows HR departments and team managers to monitor punctuality, break times, and absenteeism more effectively. Cloud-based biometric devices like those offered by Spintly offer real-time syncing across multiple locations, perfect for businesses with distributed teams or multiple branches.

This live data can be accessed through dashboards and reports, offering actionable insights that go beyond mere attendance tracking.

3. Integration with Payroll and HRMS

A modern biometric device does more than log time. Many advanced systems integrate seamlessly with Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) and payroll software. This eliminates the need for manual data entry, ensuring timely and accurate salary processing, tax compliance, and leave management.

Solutions like Spintly’s biometric access control and attendance management platforms are built with open APIs, making it easy to integrate with third-party software - resulting in a streamlined workflow and reduced administrative burden.

4. Improved Compliance and Audit Trail

Maintaining proper records of working hours is essential to comply with labor laws and industry standards. Biometric devices automatically log every time an employee enters or exits the workplace, providing a secure and tamper-proof audit trail.

This data becomes especially useful during labor audits or legal disputes, ensuring organizations remain compliant without having to dig through manual records.

5. Contactless and Hygienic Options

In the post-pandemic world, hygiene has become a critical consideration in workplace technology. Modern biometric devices now offer touchless options, such as facial recognition and mobile-based check-ins, which minimize physical contact.

Cloud-enabled platforms like Spintly even offer mobile-based biometric attendance solutions, where employees can check in via their smartphones - reducing shared touchpoints while maintaining strict security protocols.

Industry Use Cases

1. Corporate Offices

Biometric time tracking helps monitor in-office attendance while integrating with access control systems to manage entry permissions.

2. Manufacturing & Industrial Units

These devices ensure workers clock in accurately despite working in high-volume shifts, often across different parts of the plant.

3. Healthcare Institutions

Hospitals benefit from biometric tracking to maintain 24/7 shift records and manage attendance in a critical-care environment where staffing is essential.

4. Educational Institutions

Schools and colleges use biometric devices to track faculty and staff attendance while maintaining secure access to restricted areas.

Advantages Over RFID and PIN Systems

While RFID cards and PINs offer basic functionality, they’re prone to misuse and loss. A biometric device offers a level of certainty and convenience that traditional systems can't match. Employees can’t forget or lose their fingerprint or face, making the system more dependable and reducing the cost and hassle of replacements.

Furthermore, combining biometric devices with access control solutions, such as those provided by Spintly, enhances building security. The system ensures that only verified individuals gain access to sensitive areas, creating a safer workplace.

Key Features to Look for in a Biometric Device

If you're considering investing in a biometric time tracking solution, keep the following features in mind:

Cloud connectivity for remote access and real-time syncing

Integration capabilities with HRMS and payroll systems

Touchless operation for post-COVID hygiene standards

Mobile authentication for flexible, remote check-ins

Data encryption to protect biometric data and ensure compliance

Providers like Spintly are paving the way for secure, scalable, and easy-to-deploy biometric solutions that fit businesses of all sizes.

Conclusion

In a digital-first world, managing your workforce with accuracy and efficiency isn’t just about technology - it’s about trust, compliance, and operational excellence. A biometric device simplifies employee time tracking while eliminating common pitfalls like buddy punching, manual errors, and data delays.

By integrating biometric attendance with access control and cloud-based dashboards, organizations get a holistic view of employee movement and performance. Solutions such as Spintly’s smart biometric access platform are leading this transformation by offering sleek, wireless systems that combine convenience with security.

Whether you're looking to tighten security, reduce administrative overhead, or simply improve the employee experience, adopting a biometric solution could be the smartest investment your business makes this year.
