That is so smart, Vortex
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?
'Trash'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Guess who went to urgent care yesterday and got MOAR prednisone with a side of antibiotics? Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Atropa.
I have two or three really good evaluations. Each year I alternate the text with accomplishments or whatever.
Genius!

I wondered why you weren't prescribed antibiotics from the start. I hope your lungs start behaving!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Adding inconvenience and anxiety to injury, the SSA clawback means I have to paper-file my tax returns, can't e-file them.
Ugh.

Like some Fuller Brush Man from 1951!
Unacceptable.
In better news after beating my head against the bureaucracy for five months with numerous actual mailings with actual death certificates, Prudential has finally paid out the remainder of JZ's life insurance.
Which is very timely as earlier this week I sent off the biggest frickin' check I'll probably ever write in this life time to the IRS and this offsets it somewhat.
Now if I can just get JZ's pension to start making payments.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Shockingly, what AI produced was even more boring than what I just did, AND sounded less confident!
AI has been reading its own reviews.

Self-eval~ma to all who need it. Lung~ma likewise.
My manager and I have set up notes pages in Monday dot com for our one-on-ones (it’s really useful—we get into entire conversations there throughout the week, and sometimes we end up not even needing to meet), and I can just skim them and nab the highlights for my self-eval. “Oh, yeah, I did resolve that gnarly issue with our ticketing system—guess I repressed that for a reason. But I totally want props for that in my PEP.”

We don't really do year-end self-evaluations anymore, just individual project postmortems to figure out what went well and what we could do better next time. I'm a lot more comfortable with the subject of the eval being the project rather than me personally, even if I'm talking about things I did on it.
