I've read through 60 resumes, only about 15 so far are for the position I'm hiring. It's entry level, but so far those that have the key things I'm looking for are over qualified. So I'm looking for "potential." For someone to be my minion and mini-me.

I have no fucking clue what I'm doing. I get that my boss is increasingly trusting me with more managerial responsibilities because she has faith & trust in me, but oh my gawd. I barely have time to keep up with functional work & write up procedures to pass tasks off. Which is the point, I guess. But yeaahhhhrg.

Finally caught up in Natter!

In time to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Pix & ND!

And -t, you've only worked there for like 5 minutes, with next to no guidance. I'd be amazed if you didn't make a few mistakes. The email writers sound like real jackweasels.

Happy anniversary to Pix and ND! Now with added home ownership!

-t, I'm glad you checked in. Was worrying about you.

sara, a mini-you would be awesome.

I'm not looking forward to going back to school, but I did spend two paid days making really cool things to use to help grade and I am excited.

Happy Anniversary, Pix & NoiseDesign!

Good gravy, evaluations... the ones at my job.... eughurchblerg! My supervisor said a bunch of supervisors on her level across the state had begged HR to simplify it because it was too complicated. So HR redesigned it. There are now more categories of blather and the corporatespeak is even more impenetrable. If it isn't actuated syngery, it's synergistic actuation. And there is no way to delineate how well a person does at any particular task. The only thing worse than trying to someone else's is trying to do my own.

OMG, I'm so cold you guys. A hockey game was maybe not the best choice for a frigid night? It was fun, though.

With the work merger, I'll have to learn a new performances system and use corporate speak if I end up with a new manager.

I, like many of us here, hate to ask for help. But with everything on my plate right now, I've been asking for help. And getting help. Yet I'm still overwhelmed. I have a crap ton to get done this weekend and I have not one clue how any of it will happen.

ugh -t, I'm sorry you're going through this crap

Happy Anniversary, home owners!

May you implement a synergistic drive towards excellence.

I need to remember the evaluation posts next week when I write my quarterly goals. Apparently it's unprofessional to put "Continue to not burn the content servers to the ground" as a goal.
