Has anyone else noticed that the inner tube of a roll of toilet paper has gotten larger?
Another example of manufacturers hiding the fact that we're getting less for our dollar. #cpg #tpgate
Small world when one of your friends is following your cousin's wife...

What's your worst retrospective experience?
As a baby scrum master, I attempted "Postcards from the Sprint" without realizing 1 team member was *very* self-conscious about drawing. I keep those postcards to remind me to know my team. #scrum #agile #retrospectives
The fall project was to hide all the trash barrels & create just a little extra storage. Still needs some finishing touches but those may wait until spring. (The barrel next to the shed is yard waste that needs to be composted)
Recently started doing podcasts on "Being Agile" & loving every minute of it! Hopefully we'll be able to spring an episode or two out of the corporate network, just need the proper approvals... #Agile #BeingAgile
Hey! I wrote code 20 years ago - I'm offended 🤣. It sounds like you have a nag, not a SM.
Exactly. I try to continue to facilitate retrospectives or drop in to a standup as an observer as a "health check". Always keep the lines of communication open when possible.
And avoiding zombies is probably the #1 problem I've encountered too. I do appreciate PO/manager attendance at DSUs to influence *slight* adjustments to the daily goals (e.g. to emphasize importance of triaging a new bug) but it requires coaching to achieve the right balance.
A Scrum Master's purpose is to help a team become self-organizing. You succeed when you're no longer needed.
This isn't scary when you know there's always another team that needs your help (or a larger project to tackle).

Blast from the past... that time I had a review published (actually did 2, but the other was in a science journal very few would know
Back at the lighting desk... feels good!
Debugging #PowerBI measures - something's off with these relationships!
Saw an old interview with Betty White where she said her family had up to 26 dogs in the house.
Me: (turning to wife) This is not the #bettywhitechallenge everyone is talking about
Wife: Challenge Accepted!
Another Noob mistake! Turn on "realistic" view to get shadows to appear... #vampires #augment3d #eos #electronictheatercontrols
Noob mistake working with #augment3d... import scenics & can't see them, then realize the ambient light is 0%. #workinginthedark #etc #eos
Sometimes it's the small things, like having the new heat diffuser arrive just in time to start the red sauce (gravy to some). #holidayseason
