the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

It's important to get those servings of fruit in, so cherry clafoutis is the way to go.

Cherry clafoutis is a nutritious and balanced start to my day, right?

10% agree!

Fruit is good for you. So yes!

That just means I have to eat 90% more, right?

Stands to reason. Like Total cereal.

There's an Employee Engagement Survey at work today. I am feeling particularly alienated, but I hope my dire and pessimistic responses will be useful to somebody. Because I'm a team player.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

They want feedback? Give 'em feedback. Don't sugar-coat it.

Oh, I scored everything low, it's ugly. I didn't make specific comments explaining my scores, though, because I am tired. I have a feeling the results are not actually going to be all that anonymous at the team level, since there are only 3 of us now, but whatevs at this point.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I appreciate you scoring truthfully, -t. There are some serious, systemic issues at my work (my site and corporation-wide), and I know I'm not the only one who's mad/concerned. But then the Employee Engagement surveys come back with average and above average scores. I feel like Cassandra, speaking the absolute truth and all the other respondents have answered as if I'm crazy.
