I am of an age so Meet Me in St Louis, A Star is Born, Once, An American in Paris, My Fair Lady, West Side Story (1961), Cabaret, Willy Wonka (1971), Oliver (1968), Topsy Turvy, All That Jazz, and of course, The Muppets ... plenty more out there.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I do love the rules. Gavin’s name is still there. Just like the Netflix show that got cancelled, but it still shows up in your queue. #SpeirGorm #Aras26

I’m sure they didn’t mean to eliminate the woman in this image.

Are you pretending to work? The slow demise of the corporate job A growing segment of the corporate workforce know their jobs make no real contribution and that what they do each day is meaningless

Welcome to Corporate Theatre, where we spend 40 hours a week perfecting the art of looking busy while climbing mountains of paperwork. Accountability? That’s for the peasants. #PretendToWork www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Scrum isn’t "I finished my task."
It’s "We delivered value."
Individual excellence matters, but collective responsibility wins. #Teamwork #Scrum #Agile

Catherine Connolly is responsible for Jacob's dropping the Jelly Star from the tin in 2014 #SmearTheBejaysus #SpeirGorm

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

In Scrum, individual accountability means owning your work. Team accountability means owning the outcome. Both are essential. You can’t have a great team without both showing up every day. #Teamwork #Scrum #Agile

Ah Cabra. Fella is trying to get into Spar with his emotional support chicken #D7 #Cabra #Dublin fowl goings on.

Accountability is not about blame but ownership. When teams take responsibility, they build trust, strengthen collaboration, and move forward with confidence. #Teamwork #Scrum #Agile

What's next ... Misneach calls for cancellation as he wants to stay in the big gaff?

Nah, just after the 1st bar of the start of the Howells Col Reg Gloria ... maximum effect ...

I know Jim withdrew early, but really ....

Scrum teams are often invisible heroes. But heroes who don’t tell their story don’t get celebrated; they get taken for granted. #Scrum #Team #Agile #Appreciation

The most common error I see as a book editor is incorrectly punctuated dialogue.

NO: “Nice to meet you.” She said.
YES: “Nice to meet you,” she said.

NO: “Likewise.” The editor said.
YES: “Likewise,” the editor said.

NO: She smiled, “Hi."
YES: She smiled. “Hi.”

Work done != value delivered. Appreciation sticks when tied to outcomes aka "You reduced support calls by 20% with self-service." #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation

Just invented a new app to help you deal with annoying coworkers. It's not so much an app as it is a toaster on a bike chain that you swing around your head

I got a thoughtful reply on one of my posts: we’re in a transition phase where LLMs cover 80% of the work, and once the last 20% is solved, we’ll just be writing apps in natural language instead of code.

It’s a smart take—and it’s also something I hear a lot.

Don’t underestimate the power of a small celebration. A coffee, a shoutout, a message. Scrum teams thrive when their impact is seen and appreciated. #AgileLeadership #Agile #Team #Appreciation

Retros aren’t just for improvement; they’re for gratitude. This week’s theme: thank a teammate. Peer appreciation to manager praise. #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation

If there’s one thing that definitely works it’s mandating culture from the top down. And if you don’t believe that, well, I’m ordering you to

A good sprint isn’t just about velocity; it’s about outcomes. e.g. huge thanks to the team for X and the impact on the customers and the bottom line for any work done! #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation

The best part of sprint reviews? Celebrating how the team’s work changes lives, not just systems. #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation #Review
