I just got my review from my boss (we're talking it over in a few minutes). Looks much better than last year's, and I'm hoping that the one big ding on it (my lack of ongoing training) will be corrected when I tell her that I'm applying to the U of Illinois MLS Online program to start next fall (her boss, the one in charge of the money, already told me that if I wanted to pursue it, he'd approve reimbursement).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Kathy!!!! That's fantastic!

A day after sending a threatening email about the use of strings of lights, the head of facilities and the other crazy people on this floor are banging and clattering out in the hall, hanging lights.
And the loud talking lady is out there fretting about how to arrange stuff. I swear, she must be partially deaf, because no one needs to talk that loudly.
Yay, another season of work parties to avoid.

I just caught the tail end of a show called Ed Stone is Dead.
A BBc show - that is influenced by BTVS - or at least Death is
of all places it is on a health channel. Lime.com

I need to find a job where I'm not working with advertising people. They're too high-strung, man. I'm going to strain something with all the eye-rolling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Sue -- I'm marking your post.
Congratulations, Kathy!

Well, just got back from discussing the review. She's open to the MLS idea, and we're including it on the potential goals for 2006 (contingent on my being accepted, of course!). Raise is only two percent, but considering the maximum raise company-wide is only three percent, and that I didn't get one at all last year, I'm okay with it.
I'm now at the midway point of my range, and apparently the head of the division isn't too thrilled when people get above that point without making noise about moving into higher positions in the company. The MLS helps with this.
