I sent my self-eval to my manager yesterday. I didn't even give it a once over for typos, I figured whatever i got in there by now is fine. It's not like it goes anywhere except to her and maybe into my file, as far as I know, so who cares how complete it is? If that has a significant effect on my performance review, something is wrong IMO.

Maybe I'll buy lottery ticket today, since the Buffyverse is legally old enough.

ETA that's a great shirt, Zen. Excellent to wear while meditating all "ohmmmmm"

I dreamed I lived with Tony Stark last night, essentially as someone to fuss over him--listen to strange jokes and stories, accept random hugs, remind him to eat. Sort of a nanny, I guess. It wasn't too bad, actually, we lived in a nice little Gothic Revival cottage and it was quite comfortable. No killer robots or aliens anywhere.

Connie, that sounds like the perfect dream-life.

ahaha! Yeah, it really gets me amped up for my day.

I don't even need to click on the link to get the gist of the t-shirt, because (1) I married into a family of electrical engineers, and (2) I know where you work. Also (3) puns.

I That sounds like a splendid dream, Connie.

Excellent work, payers down of bills.

Less said about self-evals, the better, I think - other than "good on you, getting the annoying task out of the way.

Happy Buffy-versary, people.

I've told my boss I want one of my goals to be "not to rage quit over the next "enhancement" corporate tries to spring on us". He agrees, but we have yet to come up with a corporate approved way of saying that.

Optimize team-enhancing responses in the face of challenges?

Had talk with my manager today. She's awesome and always makes me feel better. Even better she had news of raises and bonuses! Small raise (that doesn't take effect until April and isn't in my paycheck until late April?!?) but bonus comes this Friday apparently!! Not much after taxes, but I feel like I should do something awesome with it. Dunno what.

Connie, that's an AWESOME dream! Yay, your subconscious!

The acronym of which is CMOS, of course, which makes me do a little double-take every time I see the acronym for Chicago Manual of Style.

Pshaw: CMoS is the one true acronym for Chicago. I should have it tattooed on my ass. (Then I'd have to update to upcoming editions...)

We have to keep all the windows and fans off for the next 2 days for the Radon...exam, I guess you'd call it? Which sucks, because it's so nice out, and I am a bit of a claustrophobe, and always have my office window and my bedroom winow at least cracked, even in the dead of winter. Oh, well...

I was just looking at my W-4 to fine tune my withholding, and I noticed I'm still set to be withheld as a married person. I don't want to ask HR in case they say 'Oh, we need to change that', because I like seeing myself still officially married somewhere. What are the ramifications of being labeled single or married on a W-4, if the withholding numbers themselves don't change?
