26 Cents

She sat alone on a bus out of Beaumont
The courage of just 18 years
A penny and quarter were taped to a letter
And momma's goodbye in her ears
She watched as her high school faded behind her
And the house with the white picket fence
Then she read the note that her momma had wrote
Wrapped up with 26 cents
When you get lonely, call me
Anytime at all and I'll be there with you, always
Anywhere at all
There's nothing I've got that I wouldn't give
And money is never enough
Here's a penny for your thoughts
A quarter for the call
And all of your momma's love
A penny and a quarter buys a whole lot of nothing
Taped to an old wrinkled note
And when she didn't have much she had all momma's love
Inside that old envelope
When you get lonely, call me
Anytime at all and I'll be there with you, always
Anywhere at all
There's nothing I've got that I wouldn't give
And money is never enough
Here's a penny for your thoughts
A quarter for the call
And all of your momma's love
Oh it's been years since momma's been gone
But when she holds the coins she feels her love just as strong
When you get lonely, call me
Anytime at all
And I'll be there with you
Always
Anywhere at all
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
And money is never enough
Here's a penny for your thought
A quarter for the call
And all of your mamas love
Here's a penny for your thoughts
A quarter for the call
And all of your mamas love

reverse centaur

A machine that uses a human being as its assistant.

A reverse centaur can occur when companies force workers to use technology in ways that make their lives worse. For example, a worker might be forced to use AI to generate absurd amounts of comment that he cannot reasonably review but is still held accountable for the result of the AI. The worker cannot keep up at the pace of the technology but is there to be blamed for failures.

This is in contrast to a human being that uses a machine as an assistant (a “centaur”). In this case workers get to decide when and how to use the technology to their benefit and satisfaction.
The software engineer hated being a reverse centaur.
