So, let�s say that your review is now a year and a half late.
Your one boss keeps promising you�ll go through it, but nothing has yet materialized. In the course of your daily work, you have to go into your other boss�s office to get a letter he�d not faxed successfully on Monday (he�s out today), and you see, sitting in his inbox, open on his computer, an email that says, �Jennifer�s review.�
Do you open it?
Let�s say, just for the sake of argument, that you do. And what you find inside is a rather negative review, stating the areas in which you need improvement. Now, you read through the review and agree with much of what it says. You may have mentioned several times along the line in your diary that you hadn�t been the best employee ever for a while. But the review states that while you used to do your job very well, you don�t seem to be doing it very well right now. Which you also agree, with, sort-of, but that isn�t the point.
Let�s go back, for a moment, to the part where we stated that your review is a year and a half late, shall we?
Do you get angry at your bosses, who have noticed that there�s a change in you, but who�ve just continued along for months, being dissatisfied but not saying a word, until they HAVE to write up a review for you because THEIR boss is holding them over the barrel?
I think you do. I think you get really pissed that you�ve gotten no feedback at all from someone, one of your bosses, at least, who you�ve always believed would be up-front and straightforward with you, since she�s not said word one on the subject up until now.
You might even start to draft, in writing, your response to this review, even though you aren�t supposed to have seen it yet.
But that�s just a guess
Anyway�
So on a happier note�
Christmas was wonderful. Dinner on Monday was fun and full of all the right people (thanks for coming, Brian!). I didn�t get to go to church, since they moved the service to 9:00 instead of 11:00, and we�d basically just finished eating at that point, but regardless, it was a great evening. Even the last-guest-out-the-door-at 3-am part didn�t phase me.
Tuesday couldn�t have gone better. I was ridiculously spoiled by all sorts of people. Everyone liked his or her gifts. Mom and David came down to Betsy�s for dinner, so I got to have my family at the dinner table. Everyone was on good behavior and truly enjoyed each other�s company.
I couldn�t have asked for better.
Soul soothing, I have to say.
I hope your day went somewhere in the vicinity of as well.
Now, I need to go home and go to sleep. That�s the one thing I haven�t done much of these past few days. My bed is calling my name.
