Say hello and tell us: what's on your desk?

[Luke Young]

Hello.  What's on my desk?

Well, I start with a cup of coffee (reference to Game of Thrones) using a rubber coaster that is a throwback to the days of floppy disks (this one is floppier than the real thing).

[Andy - PTC Redundant]

I am Fun Man Andy and I approve of this amazing @Home Set-Up. 

@Monique vdB: the 2019 Community Awards needs a "Best Work From Home Set-Up" Award :P

[Andy - PTC Redundant]

There are two ways of reading this coaster . . . 

😨

@Troy Taylor - Just popping in as a stranger, a year later, to say that I need an updated picture of this little guy. 

[Markus22]

Hi, I am Markus. On my desk, you can always find a PC, some notebook, a pen, a cup of tea and some sweets. Happy holidays!!!

[Andy - PTC Redundant]

Hello Community!

I am Andy - a project manager in the world of Augmented reality - and I am here for several reasons:
1) Get insight into / answers for issues I face when using Atlassian, especially Jira!
2) Get social
3) Quite specific: participate in this blog.
4) Show a pic of my desk!

My desk mainly consists of laptop, keyboard, mouse and 2nd screen (boring) but over in the corner is my collection!

Nerdy calendar colour coded with important events/activities
Pic of the family with added memorabilia plus a face-hack by a colleague when i was on hols
And at TWNKLS | AR we're addicted to Googly eyes... big time! I have a whole collection of cool stuff I collected from colleagues over time and all of it has had googly eyes slapped onto it ! ! ! :oD

[Silvia Ohr]

Hi, I am Silvia from Sydney Australia. I work for the Australian Securities Exchange, looking after our Testing & QA, Web Development and Enterprise applications teams.

Here is a photo of my desk and it is quite special. I took it last year, after my old boss had left the company and I was given his coveted desk - it is one of the best ones on the floor. I took the photo and sent it to him to tell him I 'had moved in'. :-)

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.

Hi, I'm Marina. I am working as operations manager at a company for herdbook software and genetic evaluation for livestock in Switzerland. We are using Jira, Confluence and ServiceDesk. One year ago we started to use Tempo Timesheets for timetracking which makes invoicing a lot easier. 

I started implententing Jira in our processes nearly two years ago and meanwhile it would be hard to work without all these great tools. I did most of the administration to fit Jira and helped to set up Confluence spaces. Now most of the administration is done in a small team of three people and I am happy not to do all this on my own.

In my spare time I like being outdoor. I go trailrunning, hiking, kayaking and I've got a passion for riding road bike - and Switzerland is a great country for all of these activities 😉

As you see, I try to keep my desk simple but with some color. Colored notes and my coffee to go cup to keep it warm!

And: today is my birthday - so it's all a little bit relaxed! 🎉

[Gail Welch]

Hello from CT! I am a consultant and I am fortunate to be able to work from home. I develop e-learning materials for a long-time client and cover Jira and Confluence amongst others.

This is my desk!

There is always Tea (I am a displaced Brit!)

When the day gets tough I swivel my chair 45' and stare out the window!

[Prerna Gupta]

Hello,

Is there an email address to which I can send feedback?

I am going through the git tutorials and I have found a few typos.

I just wanna report them, so they are corrected.

Thanks

A flower is a good thing to hide behind :-)

Well done on the new job!

[Matt Doar]

Nice office, Nic. I'm late to the post (due to a  UK vacation) but I've not only got a new desk, but also a new job. I've started at LinkedIn after six years at ServiceRocket. It was time for a change. My desk has a large picture of an iris so I can screen other people.

[Monique vdB]

Clearly, @MadelineBarr :D

[MadelineBarr]

I am Canadian and I had to look up what "Clearly Canadian" was. I don't think I have ever had one of those. I will have to see if I can find one here. We must have it if it is "Clearly Canadian."

[Ana Retamal]

I'm Ana and I'm a Support Engineer here at Atlassian. So far I've worked with Jira and Confluence Cloud, Bitbucket Cloud and more recently Sourcetree and Bitbucket Server. I work from our awesome Amsterdam office :)

Here's my desk. On it you can see the medal of my first ShipIt victory, my breakfast (I'm a nicer person after I've eaten it :) ), Kudos, toys and merchandise. Not in the picture: my stationery organizer with pens in different colors, post-its, etc and my planner notebook that I can't leave without (ok, I could, but I'd probably forget so much stuff!).

[Joe Tong]

I'm a channel manger at Atlassian - I work with solution partners across US Central and Canada.  I'm a huge advocate of the community and especially the AUG's in areas where I work.  

Here's my desk - I work remote for Atlassian so dedicated space that is personalized is key to me being productive.  One new addition that is super helpful is the light up sign on the right (says "Welcome to my office") - when the light is on this indicates that I'm not available if family comes into my office - either on a call or doing deep work.  

I'm all about natural lighting and have two windows in my office - when the weather is nice, they're always open.  

[Josh Steckler]

I'm Josh, the lead Jira and Confluence admin from Bose in Framingham, Massachusetts. I've been working with Atlassian tools since we brought in Jira for one team of 15 and it's grown to over 3000 users and all of product development since then. I have Jira and Confluence Administrator certifications.

My desk isn't that interesting. Some old swag from summits past. But always have to have two monitors. 

 

But for extra credit, here's my collection of badges from conferences:

[Susan Hauth _Jira Queen_]

So I have a pretty regular desk, fairly uninteresting EXCEPT for those who know my Job Title (JIRA Queen), I have one prized treasure, a coaster on my desk given to me by a co-worker.

[erwandf]

Hi, I'm Erwan, and I'm QA manager at Whaller, a company that is creating private social networks for everyone.

There is still a mess on my desk, and I have a clear view on my dashboard.

Books are on the left, but not visible on the picture !

[Lars Bachmann]

Hej @all

this hairy thing you can see below is obviously not me. Who can tell what it is? My daughter wants me to let it watch me while working.

Just a very brief introduction: i am working at demicon for Mr. Batman. We are an Atlassian Solution Partner with locations in Stuttgart, Hamburg and Berlin. Job title would be something like Principal Consultant / Head of Sales and Marketing. While scaling the business and being absolutly agile at the same time this might change any time ;-)

Coming originally from the nothern part of germany (reference to my name) i am living in Berlin for almost 20 years now. I still move my old bones twice a week to play in a famous (notorious) football club in Kreuzberg called Pulmon Negro. Being manager (not coach) of that team we won the leisureish amateur tournament in Amsterdam at WV-HEDW (Wilhelmina Vooruit - Hortus Eendracht Doet Winnen) 4 times. @[deleted]: can you manage to set up a team from your HQ? I can arrange your participation. (See: I try to bribe you to get the swag). Btw: we are looking for a new striker. Any ideas?

What else to say... If you come to Berlin stop by at our office for a chat in Krausenstraße 9. Any questions? And any suggestions what sort of animal you see on the photo?
