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'm trying to come up with an excuse to hang out in Uptown in the next couple of days.
Film crews were gone yesterday when I came home from work. They might be back again today, but who knows?
I'm not adequately caffeinated and people keep wanting me to do stuff that requires complicated thought. Does that seem right to you?
Okay, I just received an email from the person who replaced me at my last position asking me if I could do the performance appraisal on my former minion. I have been gone from that dept. for six months, and was that employees supervisor for 7 of the 12 months of that fiscal year. It seems totally inappropriate for me to go back there and do her performance appraisal after all this time.
Yeah, that's just bizarre, Sue. I'd think it would be completely appropriate for you to provide some notes, and for the new supervisor to frame his/her evaluation in terms of having only been there half the year, but it's so not your job to do the thing.
That's really odd, Sue. Say no!
Jesse, the USDA says throw it out: [link]
Bummer! It was the blueberry!
You know, the number of things I need to enter into a potential manual about the stupid fricking ancient software I support is approaching infinity, and I don't think the possibility of a bonus is enough for me to even contemplate this project. It's HUGE. It's like asking me to write the tech version of Gone With the Wind on top of my regular duties. I don't want to do it.
Sue, you could just send an email saying "it's been a while since I was there, and didn't even supervise her for the entire year. Here are some brief notes for you to incorporate into your evaluation if you wish"
Okay, to be fair, she just wants me to do the appraisal for the time that I supervised her for, but it's still weird. Shouldn't my old boss be doing that? She'd know about any issues I would have had with my minion. I'm going to say no, but offer some notes.
Sue, I think you're absolutely right.

"Re: Appraisal of Minion X.
Eh. She didn't suck.
Signed,
Sue."
