I historically hate performance reviews, but the ones for my job now have been unstructured and boil down to "You're doing an awesome job, we're trying to get budget for an assistant, please don't have a nervous breakdown."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think she meant it in a totally earnest way. My sister, being a nicer person than I am, responded graciously that yes, she had, many times, and she encourages others so inclined to do likewise.

I would totally not mind performance reviews if they 1) reflected the entire past year and not just the past month, 2) there had been periodic meetings to go over my performance throughout the year as I do with my employees, and 3) my boss actually practiced what she preached.

Oh dear god. One of my former students who was studying at UCLA died of a heart attack this weekend. He had MD and was in a wheelchair. But this is still a shock.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
What sorrow, Kat. I'm sorry.
