I have to work on my performance review too! Mostly to come up with goals for my new position. There's a list of recommended goals and I have to pick 2-3 and then come up with measurable ways to evaluate them. Which is the hard part. Also depressing: the goals that are pre-chosen, I've already failed at (it's not really my fault but still! I'm not used to being a 1 or 2 instead of a 4 or 5!)

Punishingly Intricate

One of the best parts of quitting my job last year and not having gotten another perm job yet is that I didn't have to write up a performance review this year!

Coding and Sleeping

I did have something to eat this morning and it made things worse. Still, not as bad as the day I had to pull over and throw up on my way to work.

Ugh. Performance reviews are not fun.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I feel beersplainer and I reached an accord on the awesomeness of some of our local breweries.

He's still wrong about shandy, though. (Or, more likely, we're actually talking past each other in terms of vocabulary.)

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.

I hope you feel better soon, Gud.

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

Oh, hey, one of the measures I thought didn't pass actually did. Yay.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm so used to voting for the losing measures that I'm always shocked when one wins (other than the library measures; they always seem to pass). Though I like to think I'm just building up voting karma for this year's general election. Give me this one, political karma, and I'll forgive you for the pot measure not passing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am happy with the California primary, esp the fact that now, no matter what, California will still have another Democratic woman in the Senate.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

JFC, someone just asked me what a workplan is. Someone for whom developing workplans should be part of her job. I directed her to our team workplan, which she should be very familiar with. I am Quite Concerned.
