wfh made me realize how much time i just spend tracking what everyone else in my team is doing. constant teams telcos to keep track of everyone

I am not the manager of the team, or lead in any way (i know this because im not being paid enough to do this poo poo and my title)

this especially becomes clear whenever we hold our 2-week sprints and i somehow became the one in charge:

1. We are not a software team
2. I am not a software developer
4. I do not have any project manager training
5. People have un-ironically begun to call me THE SCRUM MASTER - especially people outside my team who we deliver analysis to, and who have no idea what the gently caress it means besides "Guy who does this thing we need to get done"
6. We are not doing sprints
7. We are simply using jira as a checklist of poo poo we need to do and/or are doing

somehow I'm the one in charge of all this poo poo, due to the fact that im the only one who sat down and spent 10 mins to figure out how jira works

I learned that you should ask if anyone is getting blocked and if people believe they have enough to do until next sprint.

i think I'm ready for the big leagues now

I do not plan on going back into the office until they threaten to fire me.

my company is opening the office and encouraging, but not requiring, everyone to come in starting monday. they're saying everyone has to stay 6 feet away from each other and wear a mask when talking to another person. sounds like a complete shitshow.

my plan is to have another job before they try to force me to come in

thankfully everyone are pretty good at telling people to go gently caress themselves, and if they feel uncomfortable doing so, I have no problem doing so on their behalf so they often send bullshit my way.

sometimes its nice having 6 years seniority in the company, which is longer than anybody I come in to contact with on a daily basis.

personally i just can't get enough of changing jobs every year to deal with new and interesting ways software projects are hosed up and having to remember a new bunch of names and getting to establish myself in yet another office diplomacy circle that has who knows how many self appointed rockstars

i also absolutely love to start up a new interviewing round 6 months after i land my previous job so i can invent bullshit excuses in order to go and do whiteboard exercises with a bunch of strangers, all the while slowly gearing myself up to start negotiating poo poo with my current boss

finally last, but not least, the i value the chance to toss the gently caress away all the expertise and experience i have built learning to use my current company's technology stack, no matter how unique a position i might have at my current place in terms of the company's position in the industry and the level of expertise of my coworkers
