@shermozle I knooooowwww… Unfortunately, as an expat this is my main conduit to my family back in the US.


The flights are booked, work visas are in hand, and the Aussie government’s approved our application to travel. If you haven’t already heard, The Snook and I are moving to Munich! Three weeks from today. 😳✈️ Still so much to do to get ready…


Unfortunately Covid rules out in-person goodbyes, but hey, I haven’t seen most of you in person in five months. (And we *really* don’t want to get sick right before we travel.) But we’ll be on the Internet as always, and we hope to get back to Sydney for a visit next year. ❤️


@fink_jess It got cancelled months ago, sadly. 🙁


@itsoneguy Exactly!!


@MelissaKaulfuss Haha, thanks! We visited last year and decided in Jan that we wanted to go for it. It’s been a stressful 8 months getting all the dominoes to line up, but we’re almost there… (Hence all the Germany studying!)


@MelissaKaulfuss I know. I’ve been reading the news every day with anxiety. So worried that NSW will go that route. Partly selfish – it’ll wreck our plans – but also out of fear for you and us and everybody else. ❤️


@steve_evil Definitely!! 🍻


@fink_jess Yeah, the prospect of starting a DevRel role when there are no in-person events is kind of daunting… 🙁


@MelissaKaulfuss We’re both transferring with current employers, who have big offices there. That’s taken care of most of the logistics, tbh.


@heathergracious Thanks! We visited last year and fell in love with it too. 🙂


@savgoust Neck and leg break? 😂 Still so many new expressions to learn…


@JustinRThiessen Thanks for the tip! We saw it when we visited last year but didn’t have time to explore. Definitely will as soon as we can!


@bec_h2o @NeringaYoung @maryamumar @BuildStuffConf Thanks Rebecca. ❤️


RT @TheMERL: Right now, a lot of folks are talking about cottagecore, an aesthetic category romanticising the rural idyll.

This is (almost…


@stringy The urge to travel abroad was the driver, tbh. We’ve both got transfers within our companies. I’m taking new role within AWS DevRel team over there. 😀


@georgiecel Awww, thank you Georgie. ❤️


TFW you’ve sold the keg, realised it’s not empty, and then realised you buried it under a houseload of crap. It’s time for a round of Beer Sokoban! 😆🍺 https://t.co/Ob0mvgoSfo


@spidie Thanks Steve. ❤️


@nabiac85 @angular Yeah. Googlers, man.


@bemaia Yay! Absolutely – would love to meet up!!


I still got it. 😎

With everlasting love and gratitude to @kimfrancenyc and the entire Sassy team… https://t.co/PYKufbEuM3 https://t.co/JDVfOrrxqk


We’ve managed to clear the offices ahead of carpet replacement tomorrow. The Snook is in his happy hoarding place. I feel distressed. Halp. https://t.co/ZztW1D0ext


@steven_bryen Thanks mate! About time, eh? 😂


@dataengconfau @LareneLg Amazing! Larene is awesome – always love to see her speak. 😃


RT @bitandbang: if you’re in tech and trying to solve a problem, *please* try to remember that there isn’t always a tech answer.


@kakaCharlotte Nice one Charlotte!!


RT @RandallKanna: I’ve never seen a more comprehensive list of questions to ask your interviewer.
