Despite being a short week (Monday to Thursday) it was kind of weird.
We had a retro in which I said my piece about avoiding using agile terminology if we're not going to adhere to the practices in the appropriate ways and was basically pooh-poohed. It seems that nobody but me thinks it matters if we name things in literally wrong and misleading ways. They don't care what things are called… and yet they're not pepared to adjust them slightly on my account. I got vexed and published an internal blog post venting my frustration.
I had back-to-back meetings, work in between and I was doing a good job of managing it all, but was feeling pissed off. So when the "Fun Session" rolled around I sacked it off, saying "Sorry, not for me" and leaving the Teams channel.
I wasn't sure how that would be received, but I subsequently presented a showcase on some of recent dev work and I smashed it, so that earned me back some credit I reckon.
