Here I am...
Aug. 12th, 2008 05:28 pmTyping at you on my laptop without the aid of an external keyboard. Woot. It is all soft and nice and new. I had a new keyboard installed on my laptop today. Ordered it a while ago and my computer dudes at the shop put it on. I had worn out some keys and they were popping off and driving me nuts. It cost about $50.00 for the whole thing installed. Very exciting. I did not mind the external keyboard and it sure is weird typing on this thing here. But woot. My lappy looks brand spanking new here. Yayus.
Other win thing. I had my review today. My big annual thing. The one that counts and goes in my file. Well I think they all go in my file but the Dean actually looks at this one. So I go through the exercise of doing a self eval. It is the form the managers use and I decide to take initiative and just do this, also for myself to see what comes out as I answer the questions and try to do some goal setting. I figure, my boss will see me as a pro if I set out some benchmarks and goals to attain rather than have her do all the work there.
That turned out to be a good idea. Our visions gel and mesh pretty well and she said it was very helpful. Gave her some insight as to how I view myself. Used to be that I dreaded reviews but I really love this process with my boss. She is a total professional and I enjoy meeting with her. We have fun working together. We team well. So yayus.
( Not so win today...Cut for BS at work... )
This update is way longer than planned. Huh. Only Toosday.
Question for the list. Should I do Dudesday (Tues) again? Or Mensday (Wed)? The midweek posting of the manliness? Comment if you like that idea.
Cheers.
