Amanda Barber

It's Friday in Australia! (Happy Friday, Jr. to my U.S.-based community members!)

Ahoy there, me hearties!

Shiver me timbers, it be Feel Good Friday! An' a special one at that! It be Talk Like a Pirate Day here in the U.S., and there be naught better for the soul than a bit o' silliness.

So here be some treasures to fill your coffers:

Pirate Ipsum: Need some text to fill a blank spot? Look no further, ye scallywag! Why use that landlubber Lorem Ipsum when ye can have Pirate Ipsum?
Team-Building Activity: Hoist the sails and gather yer crew! This here activity be just the thing to check in with yer shipmates and get the good times rollin'.

May yer day be filled with plunder and merriment!

(Thanks for Google Gemini for rewriting my text below as a pirate! 🏴‍☠️)

Happy Feel Good Friday, Community!

Today happens to be National Talk Like a Pirate Day here in the United States. Being silly can be such a great way to feel GOOD!

Here's a couple of fun pirate-themed resources:

Need to generate some Lorem Ipsum? Why not try Pirate Ipsum!
Need a quick team-building activity? Try out this activity to check in with your colleagues and start some great conversations.

My question for you today is how do you bring in some simple joys or silliness to your days? I've found that having kids has brought out the silliness more naturally than I think I'd be without them. How do you stay silly?

Whenever I demo Atlassian Intelligence, I sometimes will have it rewrite prose as a pirate would sound.

Shiver me workflows! 🏴‍☠️

This is great! For me, music and silly inside jokes with colleagues keep things light. Always helps to balance the serious work stuff 🤪

I need some more silliness in my life. Thank you for giving me this prompt to be silly with purpose today, @Amanda Barber!

I generally experience the most silliness when I get together with my siblings. We talk about things from when we were kids and laugh hysterically, while the spouses look at us in confusion.

Amanda Barber

Hahah, love it, @Dave LIAO 🏴‍☠️

Amanda Barber

YES, inside jokes have definitely kept the levity during rough days!!

I can relate, @Barbara Szczesniak - last weekend, we spent some family time in a cabin with my sister and mom and our families. I don't think I've laughed that hard in months.

I've installed a plank and am waiting to make someone walk it.

Great way to have fun, I asked Chat GPT to help me with translating the answer to the Pirate's language to suit the topic So, here is the answer

Aye, I be agreein’—young scallywags be bringin’ a whole lot o’ nonsense into life, and I be lovin’ it to the core! Me lass be the reason I be doin’ all manner o’ daft things—we be always up to some mischief! ’Twas especially clear when the cursed COVID quarantine hit, and we be huntin’ for ways to bring a bit o’ cheer into our days, arrr!

And translation:

I agree - kids bring so much silliness into life, and I absolutely love it. My daughter is the reason I do all sorts of silly things - we’re always up to something! It became especially noticeable when the COVID quarantine began and we were looking for fun ways to bring a little extra joy into our days.
