Support with casual testing
Some things are just so important that they need to be tested every day, every week, every month. Just hang around in QA group and try out the stuff that gets flagged. Without your help the developers may sit there for days more, trying to figure out the puzzle.
Join and introduce yourself “Hi, my name is X, and I own Z. How can I help?” that will do fine ;)
Unless you want to step up to become our Test Manager, but that is a whole different story.
