I hope Tim's round of COVID is mild and short.
My department is starting "stay interviews" (as opposed to "exit interviews") to see about the best ways of keeping people. Or to take the temperature and see who's planning on leaving. One person gave his notice the day he had his stay interview, so the interview started with "funny thing, actually." By and large I like the people I work with and the things I do. I just want to do them closer to family (i.e., in Michigan). And if a comparable institution in MI offered me a similar job, I'd find it hard to turn down. Not sure how to convey that (or if I should) in a stay interview.
I don't remember the last time I dreamed about being close to or getting busy with an attractive person. Even my subconscious can't picture it.
That's interesting, Calli.
Calli, I would be highly suspicious of such things at any employer. Like, what are you going to do with my answers? Actually make change, or decide "she seems not into it let's not give her a raise or a good new project, and put her on the chopping block if there's layoffs"

Yeah, I don't know that I would answer honestly.
Because, I remember a job where a Consultant came in and instituted a 360 degree critique of office procedures. And when the Traffic Manager for Publication - in good faith - laid out some of the procedural problems (some of which reflected poorly on upper brass) she got a thorough and public and humiliating reprimand for being negative.
And I thought, "If you had watched Animal House you would have remembered the line: 'You fucked up. You trusted us.'"
I would certainly be suspicious about that at my job, but I had the impression Calli's employers had more in the way of goodwill
I got my review back from my boss, very good and looks like I'll be put in for a 4% raise on top of the 2% cola we got in July and again in Jan. So that is good. I am going in asking for 5.
I am still not getting through all my work in a day, like not even close.
Not sure how to address that without additional people coming on and then there will be training time. The current person they have to "help" I have been massively underwhelmed by.
ION - I'm super happy with my knitting and progress I am making on everything.
At least they recognize your worth, msbelle.
I hope Tim's bout with covid is mild, Steph.
Also, if you sic the goat on the poison ivy or oak, you'll have to wash the goat after. Happens with dogs and cats (not as much) all the time, bringing the damn stuff home and getting it on their people.
Y'all, Tim has Covid again (Electric Boogaloo).
Oh no! I hope it remains not a big deal.
