I just interviewed someone who would be utterly eaten alive if she landed the role. (Spoiler: she will not) I liked her too much to throw her to the wolves.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I interviewed an applicant once that amongst other things, showed up with colour copies of all her certifications. Between that approach and her general tenor, I recommended against hiring her.
I was overridden (common at that job) and she didn't last a month. I even told her in the interview she wasn't a good fit.
Ah, well.
Later she threatened to sue because we wouldn't lie about how long she'd worked with us.

Wow.
Starting with the good thoughts a little early, in case I forget.
I"m trying to taper off the way-too-much amount of coffee I have been drinking without falling into Caffeine Withdrawal Headache Hell. It's challenging.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People are a mess. A colleague just told me she had interviewed one of our interns for an entry-level job, and it was going well...until the intern said she preferred to have lateral relationships at work vs. hierarchical, and didn't want to just take on everyone's scut work. Yeah, no. She would be the lowest position in the department, and assigned tasks accordingly!

Wow, Jesse.
I need to remember this stuff whenever I'm feeling like a failboat.

I'm assuming you're keeping the weapons, Connie. They sounded...communal.
All metal swords are staying with me for now, his personal blade, my personal blade, a couple of others that have been with us for a while. SCA weapons are being broken down to still useful bits and being sold on for further use. I'll keep the helmet and breast plate he had in the picture I posted, but the rest of it should move on and get used.

Well, if she really didn't want a position like that, I guess that worked, then.

True fact! Of course, as a recent college grad, I'm not 100% sure what else she's going to find...

Meanwhile, I'm working on my own self-assessment and feedback on my boss. Luckily, my boss is out next week, so I don't actually have to have the self-assessment done by today (the actual due date), but I am STUCK on what to do with the question about my boss's areas for improvement. I feel like I should say something, but it's such a minefield.

Yeah, that's tricky. Say something you like and say they should do more of that?
