I didn't see THAT coming...

I had my employee evaluation on Friday. I was expecting to get reamed for my attitude, and other issues. Obviously, I'm more of an idiot than I thought, because it seems I have been imagining just how snotty I am. I got a "Significantly Above Target" rating. Wha???

I was told that I am a role model, and someone to whom people look for information. "I'm an asset to the company, and we look forward to many years with you". Again, wha???? As I said to Lucky, I had to check the name at the top of the evaluation, to make sure it was mine. Now, I will admit that I'm good at my job, and I have instigated a number of new measures, that save time and money, but I guess I hide my dissatisfaction better than I thought. If not for the general way they treat people, and the dubious way they do some business, I would stay here. But the way people are treated is way more important to me than a job.

Hence, regardless of the great review, I'm still looking to get out of here... And to be honest, I think I will be out of here early today - I'm sick. My throat is burning, stomach upset, all over yuck feeling. I couldn't even stomach coffee this morning! That's when I know I'm sick. I thought I could tough it out, but now that I'm in the office, I don't think so.


Before I go - I finished the Shelridge socks. These were my "keep in my bag for knitting a few rows whenever" socks. They went to soccer practice, swimming lessons, work, all over. A testament to people who say they can never find time to knit. I made these in grabbed moments through the day. It can be done.

I really have to get me some non-black sox on the needles. So dull! Love that review. Keep up what you're doing!

Maybe the other workers are REALLY bad? Or maybe you are a better actor than you thought! You should go to Hollywood.....
