I'm a channel manger at Atlassian - I work with solution partners across US Central and Canada.  I'm a huge advocate of the community and especially the AUG's in areas where I work.  

Here's my desk - I work remote for Atlassian so dedicated space that is personalized is key to me being productive.  One new addition that is super helpful is the light up sign on the right (says "Welcome to my office") - when the light is on this indicates that I'm not available if family comes into my office - either on a call or doing deep work.  

I'm all about natural lighting and have two windows in my office - when the weather is nice, they're always open.

I'm Ana and I'm a Support Engineer here at Atlassian. So far I've worked with Jira and Confluence Cloud, Bitbucket Cloud and more recently Sourcetree and Bitbucket Server. I work from our awesome Amsterdam office :)

Here's my desk. On it you can see the medal of my first ShipIt victory, my breakfast (I'm a nicer person after I've eaten it :) ), Kudos, toys and merchandise. Not in the picture: my stationery organizer with pens in different colors, post-its, etc and my planner notebook that I can't leave without (ok, I could, but I'd probably forget so much stuff!).

I am Canadian and I had to look up what "Clearly Canadian" was. I don't think I have ever had one of those. I will have to see if I can find one here. We must have it if it is "Clearly Canadian."

I approve of any Ptolemy-likeness being used as a mascot. He loves any and all attention.

Hello, I’m Madeline Barr and I am an application administrator for Confluence and JIRA at McMaster University (Ontario, Canada).  I’ve been working with Confluence since version 2.2.7 and we are about to upgrade to 6.2.4. I haven’t been working with JIRA as long. I can’t remember which version I started working with but we’re about to upgrade to version 7.5.1.

My desk area is rather large though I mainly use the hydraulic desk in the picture. The other half of my desk seems to be a magnet for treats, candy and bake goods that people want to share. I don’t mind though – free treats, who would mind?

My desk is somewhat messy but it works for me.

I have:

  • A autumn picture of a nearby conservation area on the wall
  • An elephant sculpture from Africa
  • Marge Simpson
  • Green sticky notes on my monitor from when my son visited my office years ago. He is always surprised , year after year that I still have it
  • Some lose change (Yes, there is some Loonies and Toonies in there)
  • A Pink Panther stuffy – best cartoon character ever
  • A quote from the blog of Seth Godin about how “You’re doing it wrong” Just something I need to remember

Welcome, @MadelineBarr! I love the theme that's emerging of this thread on people's screens :) 

I love that quote too. Reminds me of another one I like: "Perfect is the enemy of good." And Anne Lamott's "Sh&@tty first draft" idea. As a perfectionist, I've really worked to internalize this one!

Oh, like the enemy quote.

I haven't heard of Anne Lamott and quickly looked her up. I have a technical writing certificate and I do some creative writing, so I will definitely look into her work. Thanks.

The sign is such a great idea — it's challenging, in my open-office environment, to signal to folks when I'm on a call, so I might have to borrow this idea. 😄

Nice office, Nic. I'm late to the post (due to a  UK vacation) but I've not only got a new desk, but also a new job. I've started at LinkedIn after six years at ServiceRocket. It was time for a change. My desk has a large picture of an iris so I can screen other people.

Hi community!  My name is Kimm and I'm a former Jira and Confluence (server) admin (currently looking for opportunities in Toronto, if you know of anyone) from Milwaukee, WI.  I've also worked with BitBucket, Bamboo and Trello.

 

This is my desk at home.  While I don't have any animals there currently, I do get visits from time to time from the cats.  I also have a tin of hand lotion, a bicycle pint glass (water.  boo), a hand exerciser ball and a small Gromit statue to remind me to laugh.

Hi Kimm,

I'm the Toronto AUG leader and there are lots of opportunities in Toronto.  Between the Partners (there are several) and many linked-in recruiters offering up Jira admin positions.   Where are you now?

Susan

Yes, I am about an hours drive away from Toronto. I am not aware of any opportunities at the moment but it looks like @Susan Hauth _Jira Queen_ is a good resource.  I should probably connect with both her and @Kimm Michaud.
