Rob Slade is not necessarily proud, or ashamed, to announce that he is still retired.
He has not received a promotion.
He has not been a particularly long time in any position.
He has not been awarded any special citation or honour.
He is still enjoying sporadically researching stuff he finds interesting, and hopefully the postings he makes about it are either interesting or helpful to some of you.
You don't have to be jealous that you are not doing what he is doing. He hopes that you enjoy doing what you are doing, and predicts that, if you keep enjoying your work and doing it, someday you can post a similar posting.
(Which is mostly about "highlights" and "best life" postings on social media.)
