And if I interview you for a job, you can bet I'll try my hardest to make you comfortable in the hopes you walk away with a great experience (regardless of whether you get an offer in the end). I approach interviews as learning experiences for both of us. No shame. No anxiety.

People living with dementia and carers tell us enough is enough. Our research shows people living with dementia and carers experience discrimination that can lead to social isolation, loneliness and poor mental health. Find out more: bit.ly/dementia-action-week #DementiaActionWeek

Within 40 years, more than 800,000 Australians will be living with dementia. And despite more of us being affected, @DementiaAus warns both patients and carers face discrimination because of a lack of understanding about the disease. @MareeMcCabe abc.net.au/radionational/pro…

It's been 5 years since my mum passed from dementia. I was 21 when she was diagnosed and it changed everything; we had to sell our family business and our lives were put on hold to provide support and care for her as we rapidly lost her to the disease. I'd never felt so alone.

This week is #DementiaActionWeek. Learn more about how you can support people living with dementia and their carers: discrimination.dementia.org.… A little bit of support makes a big difference. And this resource might help you understand how you can reach out and provide support.

Oops remember this? ⬇️ Giving myself another arbitrary deadline for end of the year to study and sit the exam for this cert... My motivation has been at an all time low. I'm feeling blessed to be in this career during the past year but meh about it all. Anyone else?

Confession: I am so behind on the AWS SA Associate She Builds Program. Like 5 / 14 modules behind. That's week 3 content and it's week 9. So as of tonight I'm committing to firing up the old noggin and playing catch up with 3 weeks left πŸ”₯ My Easter will be cramming renos 🍫🍫

I'll be running casual, free @DevOpsGirls Kubernetes 101 workshops over the next few weeks. Come hang, talk smack, and maybe you'll end up liking DevOps? Maybe. Optional donations towards the good folks at @AustraliaSikh meetup.com/DevOpsGirls

Also these past few modules have actually been fun and has helped my impostor syndrome a lot - it was so surprising to me how much of this I already knew 🀯
