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,

Community Manager

@Jesse Love the variety, Jesse! Welcome. 😎

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.

AWESOME REPLY! Minimalist. I dig it.

Former user

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.

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.

I love minimalism! Welcome Jolene 😊

Welcome, @Jolene Hey! 👋🏼

Hi Paul!

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 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".

Community Manager

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. 😎

Courtney Langdon

Thanks, @Community Manager! I love dishing Confluence, so you can ping me anytime. Thanks for the Trello link; these are awesome. I use mine for tracking my blog posts, too, just like their "Blog Post Ideas". I'd go crazy without it! (Eeee, I just copied one on Vacation Planning!)

Hello from San Diego! A new challenge in a new industry brought me to the gates of Atlassian and I am enjoying it all. I am so not a minimalist and might freak everyone out with how much is on my desk

Former user

Hi Erica,

Sounds ominous. Is there a tesseract on your desk?

Welcome Aboard!

Erica_Garcia

Haha no tesseract but do have a #Bosslady dice

Former user

WOW! Nice!

Hello everyone! I'm new to becoming active in this community. The question is "what's on my desk?" My laptop, Water bottle and my wireless mouse. I keep it simple.
