In my head the Scola links that follow Teppy's work posts have sound effects, like heavy coins clinking through a vending machine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Obama should win NC, if he can manage a win in IN as well there's a chance. Thirteen days.

Self evaluations always make me think of the Sylvia cartoon with the woman doing her new year's resolutions at her desk at work.
Her initial resolution is "I resolve to be more tolerant and pleasant with others". This is crossed out and replaced with "I resolve to be more tolerant when dealing with the incompetent people who surround me". This is then crossed out and replaced with "I will not slap anyone first thing in the morning."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the most annoying thing about self evaluations is that the information is NEVER USED for anything.
Our objectives here (which we have to come up with ourselves & then have approved by our line manager) are used to determine a percentage of our bonus every year. So I always make sure that mine include some kind of "pending these twelve other departments I have to coordinate with having their shit together" disclaimer in case I can't complete mine due to incompetence somewher else.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm confused. How does my boss manage to be in Ohio and Michigan, FUCKING THINGS UP, at the same time???

Are these jobs my boss could take to get the hell out of here? Because that would be super!

I had those taken out of mine, despite one of the goals drafted by a boss being made completely impossible to attain in just the time taken by the goal review cycle. I was told to like it or lump it, that participation in the bonus structure was voluntary, and I shouldn't complain.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
And since I am not eligible for bonus in my current position no one really looks at mine. Not that I have even had to do any yet at my new job. I'm guessing from my boss' follow through on similar things, I won't have to.

You know what I hate? What I really hate?
When my antihistamine breaks up with me with no warning.
Well, whatEV, Claritin! I can find a new antihistamine that I'm JUST as happy with! Yeah, me and Zyrtec, we'll be IN YOUR FACE with how happy we are together. Suck on THAT, you inadequately effective medication!
You know, we all bitch about our allergy meds, but when Teppy does it there is a certain elegance and polish -- you can really see her professional excellence shining through.
