  • Retirement

    People on social media keep implying that I’m doing retirement incorrectly. I suspect they expected me to become a complete homebody and retire from public life? 🤷‍♀️ But really, it means I don’t have a full-time job and I spend my time how I like. Some days I’m helping out at a tech conference; other days I’m in my PJs playing videogames or in my craft room making something. After six years of doing pretty much nothing but AWS, it’s nice to pick and choose. I contain multitudes, people. 😂

    As soon as we got back to Sydney, we had to dash off to attend orientation for Sydney Festival volunteers. I’m looking forward to helping out with this fantastic event next month!

    Some photos from Day 1 of YOW Brisbane 2024. I spent most of the day in AI talks, and only slightly gritted my teeth. 😜 #yow24
