I have a headache, and a fever. It was really bad on monday. Not especially bad now. I think it’s a sinus infection (unless it’s the brain rot!). It was better before I went to work today. I didn’t notice the swollen lymph nodes under my jaw until this morning. But I really did need to go. I needed to construct and send out agendas for two meetings tomorrow morning. Which I also have to attend. Sleep soon. did I mention that I have high deductible health insurance?
My performance review group meets on thursday. I completed my self evaluation two weeks agoish. There are six competencies. You can rate yourself meets, exceeds, or does not meet expectations. When I first thought about it, I was thinking two exceeds, three meets, one does not meet. Then I heard the advice to toot my own horn and I talked myself up to 3 exceeds and 3 meets. In a fit of egomania I made it 4 exceeds and 2 meets. I’m not present for the thursday meeting. I get to hear the summary on friday. Fun times.
Never ever put a “Does not meet”. Instant shoot-self-in-foot moment.
