Yvonne Perkins<p>Today was my retrenchment day. I had my last day or work in the office last Wednesday surrounded by people who brought joy to my working life. Last night I went to a social meetup of women in IT and met some great women. </p><p>Today I handed in my laptop and sign-in card, then had coffee with more colleagues who made my work there worthwhile. I owned it and as someone said last night "quit like a queen". </p><p>Pictured are flowers from my daughter that greeted me when I got home. The card is from my mother from last Christmas. </p><p>Wishing for peace on earth has been said over and over, but I kept the card this year as it is so poignant and heart-felt. I extend this wish to all the people who are working in offices that are teeming with micro-aggressions and other negative behaviours. Peace starts in our homes and workplaces, in every interaction we have.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/retrenchment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrenchment</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/redundancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>redundancy</span></a></p>

As #redundancy of #DigitalPreservation infrastructure is becoming more and more vital, how the @stichtinginternetarchive will be able to potentially support part of this redundancy may matter even more
