I'm feeling pretty excited to have a month off over xmas relaxing at the beach.

I just realised this morning that that month off starts in two weeks! There is no way I'm going to be able to leave my laptop at home this year :(

Pro-tip for anyone that attended COMBINE yesterday... You can make your name tag double-sided by slotting your COMBINE name tag into the ABACBS name tag. Saves the awkward flick of the name tag when you introduce yourself to someone new! #abacbs23 #abacbs2023
