Say hello and tell us: what's on your desk?

[Daniel Eads {unmonitored account}]

Woah very cool @Amy Marley and jealous of your potential setup! I just have one girl at 1 who's barred from the basement where my desk is, but it's rather unfortunately directly underneath her usual play area. A separate non-attached space for a desk would be super nice! And looks like you get gobs of sun :)

[Erica Moss]

@Amy Marley That looks WONDERFUL.

[Amy Marley]

Thanks @Daniel Eads {unmonitored account} and @Community Manager. They definitely get up to lots of discovering mischief at 1, so totally understand the basement restriction! 
Perth gets sunshine for most of the year, even during winter there are still plenty of sunny days...feel lucky cause I'm def a sun lover ...esp after a long stint of computer time!  

[Kate Foster]

Yeah, mug is nice. I really like the owl.

[Kate Foster]

I wish I had a desk like that.

[Lars Bachmann]

An owl is a must have!

Hi

[Jenn McClung]

Hi All,

I'm Jenn from the DFW, Texas area.  I started using Jira about 7 years ago and have been slowly adding knowledge of the additional Atlassian products.  I just completed the Atlassian Administrator track and am about to look into certifications.  

I guess it's about time I become active in the community.  :-)

Welcome @Jenn McClung! If your avatar is your kitty, you owe us a pet pic here. :) 

So glad to have your knowledge and expertise here!

[Jodi LeBlanc]

Welcome @Jenn McClung! Congrats on completing the Atlassian Admin track, and PS. Adorable kitten :)

[Meg Holbrook]

Welcome Jenn! Excited to see you around =^_^=

Hi Everybody,

My name's Jesse Ivy and I work for IEQ Technology in Springfield, Oregon, here in the United States. I'm currently working on a Java API to administer a higher education curriculum to apprentices.

I have a limited edition Josh Keyes autographed print, a box of cuban cigars, a skull, my stainless steel coffee cup, a luke skywalker (return of the jedi) action figure, a Fortune's Folly sticker, A giant teardrop carnelian my ex found in the river, Donald Duck (University of Oregon's Mascot), a photo of my oldest son, tissues, a random Windows 7 CD (I work on a mini mac so yeah, weird), and a little rack of the hemp greeting cards I make on my desk.

I'm an environmental activist with a focus on renewable energy.

Jedi Wear Hemp!


Cheers,

ji

@Jesse Love the variety, Jesse! Welcome. 😎

[Meg Holbrook]

Welcome Jesse! The Carnelian sounds beautiful, I used to have one that looked like the Grand Canyon condensed into a little rock.

@Monique vdB " I want Ptolemy to be our community mascot."

I second this!

[Jolene Hey]

Hello! My desk has a laptop, 2 monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse.

[Meg Holbrook]

Hi Jolene! Welcome to the party!

[Jesse]

AWESOME REPLY! Minimalist. I dig it. 

[Jesse]

Thanks! It's a nice carnelian yes, almost the size of my fist. She found it while she was searching for her phone to call me, which she had left in the sun on the hot rocks. Was romantic because it's a teardrop and she was crying at the time.

It has come to my attention that I neglected to mention my desk also has a the fastest Mac Mini in the office on it, in addition to two monitors. And I inadvertently set up my dev environment under the Administrator account, which I sort of like. At my former place of employment I was working for a hardware manufacturer who gave me twice as many monitors but anything past three isn't very useful.

And a tiny galaxy bar from Wales.

Minimal I am not. :)

[Matt Doar]

Here is a picture of my desk a few months later. Note the self-referential image on the monitor, ceertificates, book and too many keyboards. And the betting dollars - the loser has to write something flattering on the dollar bill.

[Jodi LeBlanc]

I love minimalism! Welcome Jolene 😊

[Erica Moss]

Welcome, @Jolene Hey! 👋🏼

Hi Paul!

[Courtney Langdon]

Hi, I'm Courtney! I've built multiple team spaces and knowledge bases in Confluence, both at my previous company as a Community Manager and at my current company as a Knowledge Manager. I <3 Confluence. ;) I've been a lurker in this Community for a while, but this is my first post.

On my desk I have the usual assortment of Pop Funko characters, posters advertising the Knowledge base, an Atlassian Team Tour lanyward, and a variety of greeting cards, photos, and random paper. 

Most common question I get from my users: "Hey, how did you make it do that thing on that page?" (The answer is usually a creative use of a macro, lol.)

I've also started using Trello to help keep me organized, and I am loving it as well. There's something very satisfying about moving a card from the "Doing" column / swim lane to "DONE". :D

[Erica Moss]

Welcome, @Courtney Langdon! I need you to help me polish my skills in Confluence, for sure. Also, I have a soft spot for Trello (I was their dedicated community manager for a year), so let me know if I can help there at all. Be sure to check out https://trello.com/inspiration for some of the prettiest boards you ever did see. 😎
