Much more engaged now. The Web makes it much easier to be engaged in whatever might pique your interest. Plus, now I don't have to spend my days working at a job. I can do the work that I want to do, when I want to do it.
Im more engaged with World News, I take a lot of interest in the War in Ukraine, I suppose because its closer to home .. less interest of todays music, and films.,Looking forward to Paddington in Peru ..
I want to say I"m less engaged in someways, primarily in terms of what I take responsibility for. I don't chair any meetings or write reports and in fact have no desire to write at all except in the informal way of conversation that we achieve here.
But I'm much more engaged in what matters to me than I ever could when still employed.
