👋 I'll start: I'm pretty sure I just earned another Skills Badge!

I say "pretty sure" because I'm still waiting for the confirmation email from the issuing authority before I start posting about it on LinkedIn 🙃

[Jimmy Seddon]

Congrats @Dave Liao!  Which badge did you take the test for?

Jira Governance & Housekeeping - which I recommend for Jira admins of any level!

[Ste Wright]

Congrats @Dave Liao - I also did that skills badge recently! It was an enjoyable one!

Yay, confirmed I got the badge! Had a hiccup with my Atlassian University accounts... yes, multiple. I accidentally created a second University account, so working with Support to get that fixed.

[Matt Doar]

I resisted laughing out loud when the two small children bouncing on the seats in front of me on a long flight loudly referred to the attendant as "waiter". The whole section of the plane went very quiet too

[Matt Doar]

This was part of taking my whole family to the UK for two weeks, which was a big win :)

[Dave Liao]

I just laughed out loud at this! 🤣

[Jimmy Seddon]

@Matt Doar I hope you enjoyed your vacation!

[Joanna Thurmann]

@Matt Doar Ha ha. Cute. Glad you got to go back home for a while, and with little ones in tow.

[John Funk]

Just made the big move to Dubai this week! Still getting settled into some temporary housing will I work on my residency visa, but I have a nice setup so far. 

[Dave Liao]

Wait, what? 😂 

Now I know more than one person in Dubai! I used to know a few more folks there, but they moved last year to pursue other jobs…

[John Funk]

And now you have more than one reason to visit Dubai. HA!

[Dave Liao]

💯 oh yeahhh!

[Jimmy Seddon]

@John Funk I think Dave summed up my reaction too.  Congrats on the move!  I hope getting settled in doesn't take too long.

[John Funk]

Thanks, @Jimmy Seddon  - I am already hard at work.  :-)

[Jimmy Seddon]

For me, both kids have been sick this week.  However, we have been puke free for 2 days and at this point that's a win in my books.

Happy Friday Everyone!

[Dave Liao]

TGIF, and to being (again) healthy! 🙌 

[Ste Wright]

I had a few wins on the Community just today!

• I got my 750 accepted solutions badge!
• I achieve Level 12 - Golden Seed for Kudos!

Ste

[Monique vdB]

@Ste Wright that's awesome!

[Dave Liao]

750 is quite the milestone, congrats!

[Monique vdB]

My win for this week was productivity, for the first time I had to change the list limit on my "Done" Trello board to 40! 

(Fun tip I learned from @Brittany Joiner is that if you add this emoji to your list 🎉 and drag a card over to it.... well, I'll let you try for yourself and won't spoil it. But it's the best.)

[Monique vdB]

The automation that creates this list for me every week is from Brittany too. So basically, I'm productive because of Brittany. 

[Dave Liao]

We all are! I’ve seen her Trello presentations and I’m pleasantly surprised by all the features I didn’t know about 😆 

[Brittany Joiner]

Hahah this all makes me so happy!
