My first job was filing papers at an insurance company, I think? They actually didn't need me that long, so I only was there a few days. 🤣 But still, money's money!

I remember going on a roadtrip with friends up to Toronto! I was little, so I only remember a few things, like the lunches we had, and very little about Canada. 🤣

Animal-wise, nothing fancy. Pet-wise? A rock? But I don't even think I took it seriously, even as a child 🤣

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - 🤘Up the irons!! As for my answer: anything Kylie Minogue 🪩

Robotech (Macross) - I was a fan of Japanese animation ever since! 🙌

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - great question! Automation for Confluence. As soon as that happened, the idea of native cross-platform automation sparkled in my eyes. 👀 Totally thought I replied to this TBT, but guess not!

P.S. welcome @Brian Hankey 👋!

In-person events are still happening but folks need to be reminded about this group 🤣 https://ace.atlassian.com/austin/

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - I've been to events like county fairs - I'm there for the food! Of course, nowadays I need to hit the gym after having a few hot dogs. 🥲

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - I'm not 100% certain, but it was probably ... Celine Dion. 🎤

I hope a Dia product manager sees this and works on increasing transparency on token usage in their tool!

✅ Passed it! Thanks for sharing this news - and kudos to the folks that help put the exam together ⚡️ (I know some of those misfits...) 🤣

@Amanda Barber - thanks for creating this space, TGIF 💙 Tiny joy? Passing the ACH-815 - and for those who don't know, it's the Jira Service Management with AI Fundamentals certificate! 🎟️⚡️ Was a little under the weather this week, so being able to wake up and feel mostly normal was a medium-sized joy. 🥲

@Tomislav Tobijas - oh man, your mistake is our "lessons learned" article 😆 Glad you're up and about and able to write about it now 🫂 @Arkadiusz Wroblewski - this pub crawl has been on my list to do!! Should I skip it, or commit? 🥲

@Arkadiusz Wroblewski - on the bright side, this story is totally memorable. I can now visualize the spinning loading icon in front of you now. 😆 And since you mentioned 40 km (as a march), I'll shamelessly direct you to this past Welcome Wednesday post: "any runs planned?" 😄

@Barbara Szczesniak - the latter is what I meant, but if anyone reads my question the other way, the replies should be just as enjoyable. 😆 RE: your story, holy moly, I'll try to avoid Omaha during the winter. It's been on my list to visit the land of the corn huskers, just never made time. 🌽 Also, what client would make…

Same! That stuff isn't paying rent 😉

And over in Sweden it's just döstädning, literally "death cleaning". Which sounds super metal! 🤘

@Anna Wilson - hi Anna! Are you learning (1) purely for yourself, or (2) for others (your team/customers)? Now think of a few things you'd like to learn, then search https://community.atlassian.com/learning to find any related courses. You can also search these forums to see if others have asked your same questions!…

I worked with a few folks who would've done EXACTLY what you did, if I ever made that suggestion aloud. 😆😆😆 But hey, you did it once, bravo! Any parts of that experience that you would repeat? 🙃

@Jimmy Seddon - 🫠 Don't think I've ever done ANYTHING over a 24-hour period before, not even sleeping! I've heard of dance marathons to raise money for research - I'd rather do a gaming marathon, for sure! 🕹️ What was your favorite game you played during the marathon? If know there are certain games I could play for…

Earworms are the worst! I'm making a point to not read any of the replies here, otherwise I'll get "infected" with a song I don't need in my mind... The last song I recall living rent free in my head for a few days? Pink Pony Club, by Chappell Roan🐴 (sing along with me on YouTube!)

I'll start. My bad idea? I committed to showing up for the Taco Bell DC 50k ultra marathon - and finishing it. (I'll be wearing the same race shirt that you see in this post's photo 📸) I also made a LinkedIn post, so you know I mean it. 😆 My thought processes: * I've never been part of an ultra marathon (anything over 42k)…

@Casey Amorello - thanks for sharing. And appreciate that this is a link to another article, instead of repeating the info!

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - July 4th, and it'll be a big one! 250 🙌 ...I'll try to have 250 gummy bears that day. 🤔

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - I think my first concert was a Mutemath one! I do know that it was in Philly's Chinatown! But my memory's hazy...

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen - first car I ever purchased with my own funds? A Mazda3! I miss it sometimes. I never bought an air freshener for it, so sometimes it'd smell like rain. As a workaround, I'd bring a jacket into a Korean BBQ place, have dinner, then leave my jacket in the car. And then for days my car would smell…

...and now I've got Rovo on my desktop AND my smartphone! Had no idea there was a mobile app, it's been working great!

@Nicola Sun - glad to see this change! Hopefully we get this same Goals pane when looking at normal work items in Jira, outside of Plans... 

@Katie Lai - Seibert - that's easy: eazyBI's Mapping the Uncharted! 📊 (can read it online for free) Loved reading about the history of eazyBI and the company, getting insights into how their team works (plus inspiration to shake things up on my end!), and getting insights about their founder, who's one cool dude. 🎤 Even if…
