Annual performance evaluation

[bjarvis]

I'm working on my self-assessment for my annual performance review. I'd rather be pressing rusty nails through my palms.

My saving grace is that I will be done within an hour because I've kept detailed records of my work-related activities since 1996. I'd be done sooner except that my dear colleagues are popping up over the walls of my cube to ask me what they accomplished earlier this year.

I'm going to seriously need a chocolate sundae when this is done.

I've had to do one of those each of the last five years I've been at my company, too. I've pretty much had the same experience.

I started keeping a record this year, though, in a spreadsheet complete with relevance to company credo and how it relates to corporate objectives.

A friend of mine suggested scouring a bunch of geek magazine articles for acronyms, then inserting them randomly through my self-assessment so that the HR department can see how "current" and buzzword-compliant we are with the latest technology. :-)
