PURGATORY

It's FRIDAY!!!!

I am officially off work, although I am hanging here for a bit longer in hopes that a few co-workers will provide a couple document numbers and references for a project I need to complete this weekend.

B just called - he is already home and cooking pot roast tonight. So much much for my WOW HIM WITH SHRIMP idea.

I completed my 2008 performance review today. We just implemented a new program, AGORA, and I believe I have now been AGORA-ED... it can be verb, right? Man, that sh*t took me an entire day to complete, only to have my boss mention "I did not complete the 2009 objectives because..." Thank you for letting me know now that I am already in AGORA purgatory!

Anyway, I hate those assessments. I feel like I am just spewing crap all over the place and trying to make it smell better by using words with 6+ letters. Actually for 2008 I ripped myself a new one. I didn't feel like BSing and I hope my boss appreciates the honesty. I feel like 2008 really opened my eyes to my specific developmental needs and I feel I know a route to improve those competencies (ehh I guess incompetencies?). I tend to be a little tough on myself, so hopefully I don't come across as Negative Nelly either. I just didn't want to look ignorant or incompetent enough to where I actually thought I was working to my potential and being as productive as I could/should. I know I wasn't... at least not the last three months.

I think I am getting a little wordy on my blog blog... I need to use more pictures.

If you aren't on the Postsecret or Storypeople train, then you better get some...

I love that postcard. For the record, my mom does not approve of the "f" word and did not teach it to me.

Yeah, I pick my nose, and I always have. I wipe it on something near me, never myself and never in plain view. True story: shortly after telling B I was going to marry him, I caught him picking his nose and he WIPED IT ON HIS JEANS!!! You better read this now, because he is going to EDIT -> DELETE this as soon as he reads it.


That reminds me of my career - I keep falling into perfect situations with amazing opportunities, only available to me because the young professionals my age didn't take it when it was before them. TRUST ME, if you put an advantageous adventure in from of me, I will run with it.... whether I deserve it or not, I will make it mine.
