I blast the volume EVERY time it comes on the radio.

Good Grief! i bumped into Ryan Hall's livestream last night after 10:00. He has hooked up with most of the stormchasers and would communicate with them through the night. Seems pretty legit.....anyone else heard of him? I don't think he is a hack, but would like to see what others think about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be some good snows especially Saturday and Saturday night. Maybe a few inches at minimum. Taking a lil brunette honey along LWX early map has Deep Creek area in the 5-8” specks.

Also, i can honestly say i don't need snow at this point. if it happens, cool, but those 60 degree days were pretty amazing. Yup! I've been doing general PM and scrum master work for quite a few years now, though in my current project of 30+ people, we've broken down into five teams and I've assigned scrum masters for each one. Now I, as the PM, just have them run their scrums and I get to watch from afar. Good to hear that you stepped into the role! The people I chose as scrum masters deserved the chance to show that they can run the show - they're people that us senior folks on the team have identified as having leadership potential, and on our team it's a good way to help them grow. If you stepped in and are getting it done, then it speaks well of you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not looking forward to more cold weather but if it's going to be sucky weather, might as well get some snow out of it. I was hoping to get a head start on power washing the deck this weekend to prep it for an eventual re-stain this spring but that'll have to hold off until a few more weeks (at least). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stepped in and are getting it done, then it speaks well of you! thanks, yea this contract is nuts. we have 3 teams, but probably around the same number of people total (around 30-35 if i had to guess). one of the SM's left and so they added me as SM until they figure things out. problem is we now only have 1 ba on a team that could easily have 2-3 ba's and also have to balance the new PI planning in 2 weeks. we're short-staffed with devs as well. I actually don't mind the SM role so far, though. the scrum ceremonies I can get used to, but not a fan of the fact that I also have to run multiple help desk calls along with other non-agile related tasks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let the early warmup tempt me, and plan (seemingly too early) my own power washing of the back patios this weekend. Just as well, as I haven't accounted for the annoying red bloom thingys that fall from the trees, as well as the damn spinners which will make their appearance in several weeks...all of which stain the patios. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
