Welcome Wednesday: Let's build a Christmas Story!

[#1]

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

We did one of these last year around Christmas time and I found the story extremely funny, so I thought we’d do it again! For anyone new, I will start with the first line of the story and everyone who comments will add the next line building upon the previous one. Let’s have some fun:

“T’was the day before vacation, and all through the office all the queues were empty even the Active Incidents“.

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

[Stephen_Lugton]

The 'out of offices' were written in Outlook with care,
In hopes that no problems would make their way there;

[Denys Kontorskyy_Railsware_]

And in the corner of the office, a xmas tree had Jira icons for ornaments. 

[Barbara Szczesniak]

While, in the kitchen, cookies and candies provided temptations;

[Amanda Barber]

And my boss in his home office, and I in mine,

Made one more Loom and wrote one more code line.

[Alina Chyzh]

When I decided it was time to relax, I heard a loud noise behind me

[Summer Hogan]

I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter. When out on my lawn they were digging to place fiber (seriously it is so loud)!

[Susan Waldrip]

When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but 10 JSM issues with problems, I fear.

[Roy Buiteman]

With a sigh and a groan, I put down my mug,
And prayed to the cloud that it wasn’t a bug.

[Teodora V _Fun Inc_]

I was stunned to see it was a bigger surprise,
Five of them were spam bots on the rise (phew!)

[Simon Hallam]

I dreamt of Atlassian; woke with a jerk -
Those previous issues are now "Jira Work"!
