Miscellaneous Monday - The Anthology

[#1]

Miscellaneous Monday is celebrating it's 5th birthday this month, and we felt it is time to provide a mega summary post about it's history to set it up for a bright future.

🧙‍♀️ The OG protagonist for Miscellaneous Monday posts is Meg Holbrook. Currently holding at 39 posts, she really drove the early adoption of the Miscellaneous Monday practice from her first post in April 2018 until her final one in April 2019.

🧙‍♂️ The most recent leader of the initiative, Andy Barker, aka Fun Man Andy (in his many community accounts and personas) has kept the effort alive. Some of his accomplishments, besides for publishing some AMAZBALLZ Miscellaneous Monday posts have been:

• He was instrumental in the inclusion of Miscellaneous Monday in the Kudos Program.

• There is also a special badge for authors of Miscellaneous Monday posts!

🔎 Meg Holbrook’s Miscellaneous Monday - Meet Your Maker(s) post from June 4, 2018 has over 10,000 views! (10,282 as of this publishing). It also, unsurprisingly, has the most comments (129).

👍 The Miscellaneous Monday - Seeing the forest for the trees post has the most likes (currently at 47).

You can search for all of the (current count: 93) posts using this search filter, but a Star Wars themed summary post is just more enjoyable!

I have to credit the great @Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_ with the inspiration for this post based on her amazing Friday Fun summaries, Part I and Part II. 

If you've been inspired by this article to get involved, head over to the recently posted discussion to claim your Miscellaneous Monday slot for July-September 2024!

[Carlos Garcia Navarro]

Wow, @Andy Gladstone ! Thanks for putting this together. Well done! :-)

[Jimmy Seddon]

Thanks @Andy Gladstone!

I completely forgot about a few of those older ones I contributed over the years!

[Andy Gladstone]

@Jimmy Seddon I would have also included a column for author, but you can read why that was scrapped here.

[Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_]

Thanks @Andy Gladstone 🙌 It's so awesome to travel through the Miscellaneous Monday Timeline!! 

You did make me realise one little thing, I'd slacked off a little on the Friday Fun recaps... sooooo, you can now find The One With All The Friday Fun Topics Pt.3 🤩 here, taking us all the way up to last week! Thank you for giving me the good nudge I needed 😊

[Andy Gladstone]

That was a subliminal nudge on my part @Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_. Thanks for updating!

[Summer Hogan]

This is very insightful @Andy Gladstone and wonderful to read all the great posts that came before me! 

[Markku Miettunen]

Wow, quite a bibliography :) 

[Chris K]

Thank you for this collection @Andy Gladstone

As a newbie, this definitely helps to check out some discussions from the past ;)

Greetings from Germany

Chris

[Andy Gladstone]

@Chris K happy to be of service, that was the point!

[Dave Mathijs]

@Andy Gladstone I've been offline for 1 week (PTO) and can start the new work week with this mega reference post. Bookmarking now ... 🔖 

[Michelle Yip]

Community learning and sharing at its best ;) 

[Manoj Gangwar]

Thank you for your collections... 

[Prabhu Palanisamy _Onward_]

Thank you.

[Dana A]

@Andy Gladstone great to see the history and amazing titles, I am unable to open them but the memories of Y2K brought back some great memories. Look, we all made it after Y2K !!! 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

My security software really does not like the data-gathering tinyurl does, but I can confirm that on the very first one, I've got worse - 60ish ecosystem shirts, 30 geek, and all but 1 of the plain ones pushed out.  (Still only 5 ecosystem pairs of socks though)

[Peter Van de Voorde]

What a wonderful list, thanks @Andy Gladstone for compiling this.

[Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM]

wow, if anything needs a TL/DR it's this ;) This will take me a while to get thru.

[Daria Kulikova]

Wow, amazing compilation @Andy Gladstone ! Thank you for sharing this post!

[Emily Conroy]

Thank you @Andy Gladstone this is brilliant! So many great articles and love the Star Wars Memes!
Unfortunately I can't seem to access any that are older than (and including) Miscellaneous Monday - Most recent Museum visited?  And it looks like others are having a similar issue. Please can you help?

[Andy Gladstone]

@Emily Conroy welcome to the Atlassian Online Community! Sorry that you are having issues accessing content. I checked multiple links and they all work for me, including the Museum post. It is stored as a tiny.url, perhaps that is the issue? 

Here is the direct link: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Watercooler-discussions/Miscellaneous-Monday-Most-recent-Museum-visited/td-p/2326600

Enjoy!

[Matt Doar _Adaptavist_]

Nicely done!

[Susan Waldrip]

Thank you @Andy Gladstone for this great post, it's cool to see all the topics people came up with!
