Oh look, another #introduction post from me. It's my fourth, written in May 2023 and freshly edited in March 2025, and I still don't know what to put in it. I've been cluttering up the fediverse since October 2022.
Anyway. I was a public servant in Canberra for years and years, and now I'm not a public servant and I'm back in Adelaide where I just sort of droop about looking at things and catching buses and putting the bins out on Monday morning. A sense of purpose eludes me, but as time goes on it seems less and less important. Despite being 'retired' I'm only in my mid-50s, so I'm a bit of an anomaly but becoming less anomalous as time passes.
I maintain an interest in the various policy areas I worked in, but I won't go on about those things at length. I'm no longer politically active (a recent development - I may be the only grassroots member of a political party to resign for administrative reasons), but this won't suddenly become a political account. This will be where I let my mind wander about frivolously, or maybe just dopily, with the odd bit of seriousness. There's quite enough politics available elsewhere. In fact, it's everywhere. Mind where you step, and wipe your feet before coming inside.
