The whole point of agile is constant feedback so that you're always updating your deadlines with new information. If you can't change your deadlines, are you really doing agile? Food for thought.

Maybe this "sabbatical" will give me time to finally flesh out that portfolio...[/hide]

I got worried enough about you to actually watch a dumbass youtube video explaining scrum.

In all seriousness, take some time off to just go to a beach or somewhere and relax alone. Away from the world. And yeah, then continue focusing on getting your stuff together to hopefully move on to another job in a few months. Don't beat yourself up too much about your portfolio quality, you are likely doing work comparable to any other designer and just have a few passion projects that show off the peak of your technical skills. Honestly, it might not feel like it but another company would probably hire you at a much higher (ie competitive) wage in a heartbeat so it's worth trying to interview at a few places just to see how they react to your portfolio.

Also, and I'm still being serious, you need to start annoying the manager who threw that chart masturbation shit at you. Try creating a gantt chart in MS projects or just use an Excel template and update him with that as often as you give scrum burndown updates. It makes you look like you're trying harder, it keeps you motivated to annoy him/her, and it even has a slight chance of making the manager take a step back and realize that focusing on milestones so much makes them blind to quality

ALL. OF. THIS.

I did a summer in Montana / Wyoming / Utah as a kid when I was way too interested in baseball so I still remember now often obsolete names of extremely minor league minor league baseball teams from the area and when Wrath posted "Great Falls" I thought, "Go Dodgers!" but didn't wake up from a Proustian nightmare after.

That trip was very instructive about Reservation poverty. I know I joke about being a KGB illegal but I had a suspicious amount of vacations like that growing up...

The documentaries are alright but most are just translated from the BBC and other sources. But guess what, they've just announced they're going to put their documentaries behind a paywall.
Not to mention all their streams are SD unless you pay for them and we already pay taxes for this shit.

The only good thing about the NPO is Dionne Stax, but in the end she did make a black man lose his job. $:-\$
