mbarrick | Performance Anxiety?

I have my annual performance review for work this afternoon. That means this morning I am staring at me self-assesment form and wondering how to fill in the blanks. This is second only in odiousness to filling out the semi-annual financial statement for my damn student loan. This is made more odious this year by the fact I had one project drag out only to die an pathetic and pointless death and another project drag out absurdly long because of user resistance.

While I normally quite like my job, today is one of those rare days where the thought of faking an illness crossed my mind so I could postpone this for a day. This is a day where I have to "asses my action items and mutual commitments", "quantitatively evaluate my measurable activities and qualitatively evaluate my less measureable activities", "develop and prioritize my 2004 objectives and action plan" and generally wallow in the sort of stuff than makes me want to watch a "Fight Club"/"Office Space" double feature.
