Natter 43: I Love My Dead Gay Whale Crosspost.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I fucking hate fucking stupid performance evaluation bullshit paperwork.
I wish they'd stop asking what I want to do with my career. I don't fucking know, that's why I'm still fucking here, and that's none of their fucking business.
I think I'm a little too hostile to be working on this stuff right now, you know?
Ugh, those suck, sarameg.
Maybe one of us can fill it out for you. We won't even put down Pimp as a career objective. (since that one is saved for Jesse)
ION, I am awake, and showered, and dressed, and as soon as I can find one ounce of wanting to go to work, I may even go to work.
sara, don't worry about truthful answers to the questions. Make some stuff up to just get through it.
You want to further develop your customer service skills. You want to advance using your organizational, systems development, problem solving skills, and be in a position to increase the understanding of multiple departments working together toward a common goal within the organization. You would like to develop your skills in delegation and management of others on specific projects.
Stuff like that. Unless you think that writing something down will result in unpleasant new job duties, then take a stab. It is like fiction bullshit writing.
So, anyone want to make a few phone calls for me? God I hate making random phone calls.
OK. Doing it. Starting with the people I've met.
I wish they'd stop asking what I want to do with my career.
Yeah, that question irks me too. I don't want a career. I want to lounge with chocolates and sushi at my fingertips. I want to krav all the time and take photographs and draw and actually finish reading the books I start. In the meanwhile, I'm making do.
George Clooney being adorable after the Oscars. That's one lucky dame.

My micromanaging boss is hassling me about it. It's driving me nuts. This particular part (the
individual development plan
) is something I've always handwaved and gotten away with it. I've never figured out exactlywhat they want, and they've never told me. Until now, I guess. And it's got all these sections and rigid format, I can't use something like the suggestion msbelle had. It's just stupid. I know there are managers and employees out there who find it useful, but it's a really pointless exercise with an employee stays out of apathy.

ita is me, but swap the sushi with blueberries, krav with swordplay and photography with writing. I hate those career/"Where do you see yourself in five years" questions.
"Where do you see yourself in five years?" "In your job, of course."
Individual development plan: Pick out two or three classes/training things you'd be interested in, regardless of how much relevance they have to your actual job.
PS, I RULE: Two phone calls and one email, and I have two appointments. Now to call people I don't know.
"Where do you see yourself in five years?" "In your job, of course."
Ya know?
Not that I want my manager's job, in the least. Hell no. But it seems that the 'right' answer is either "in your job" or "working somewhere else." There are only so many spots between where you're standing now and your boss's job.
Could I love George Clooney more? Only if his name were Nathan.
Could someone cast those two in a movie so my head can explode.
sara, insent.
