I had to reschedule the dragon slaying for tomorrow. Although I did get one review completed. It wasn’t bad. Yeah, he did get a little snippy and quite a bit defensive but I consider it a success when tears aren’t shed. Let’s hope tomorrow’s review goes as well. Thank goodness I brought 2 pairs of underoos with me.
My eHarmony membership is once again up for renewal. Rather than going month to month I think I may sign up for the entire year. We shall see.
Aren’t all performance-review situations a little personal?
On BOTH sides?
Sure, it’s expected that somebody gets a little ornery when they receive a less-than-stellar review. But when crafting the review, isn’t there always just a SLIGHT hint of PERSONAL taste or distaste with the person being reviewed by the reviewer? C’mon.
UNLESS, you’ve never met these folks and your analysis is based solely upon paperwork in front of you. Then, that would suck big egg shells.
Truly, I know not of your situation. Just relating from my experiences from both sides of the table (kinda’).
Speaking out of turn,
N.
ps: Don’t you look comfy. How do you type on your side like that?
Oh, one more thing on the Underoo front …
I know you have Wonder Woman and Supergirl.
You simply MUST get Batgirl in the rotation. Now THAT’s a powerful, independent superheroine. NO superpowers, swinging from building to building from dental floss. AND in yellow, high-heeled boots. Cool.
Your reviews should be like mine, 4 people crammed into a tiny room. I try no to be defensive, but I do try to say I’m doing my very best and working very hard to perform all the work in the alotted time. Which is usually underestimated. It doesn’t hurt when you show them you’re working 5-10 hrs extra without pay per week. I hate to do it, but it usually helps get all the work load done. Plus I’m brutally honest, if they are doing a poor job, I relay it to their bosses (*which are present in the room*). Again, I’m not trying to be a jerk, just giving a honest review of the reviewer. Plus if I don’t think I’m getting paid for what I work, then I search for another job. I’m not going to be setimental about it because there guys certainly aren’t. Anyways have a good one and as for the underoos, I also like Powergirl! Although WW is very cool, almost like Supes!

forgot to add, do you Cha-Cha? You should!

You are right Nathan– that is part of what makes these reviews so very difficult, trying to be balanced and not let one’s personal feelings cloud the situation. I am really happy with how this last review went. The review was balanced which means I praised but I also pointed out areas for improvement. It was not a comfortable situation but it is finished and I can move on.
PS I don’t usually take that position, usually the laptop is on my belly but I only had five seconds before the shutter went off and that was the position I took… so yes, it is posed.
Jason–
I don’t cha cha, I watusi! 🙂
Wah-watusi!
Oh, baby, it’s the dance made for romance….
