Evaluating Me
Topic: WC - Daily Practice

I just spent four and a half hours working on my performance review for work. That's not including the two hours I spent on it this morning. I emailed it to myself at work to plug into the form tomorrow and will review it one more gain (as we say in the hood) to see what else I might add. It's a pretty exhausting experience.

For sure this year I'm going to keep track of things as they happen to make the process a lot easier next year. My guys do their evaluations within a couple hours but they are union so their increases are based on their collective agreement whereas my increase is a merit increase. Can't be lazy when it comes to that. Sho nuff.

After my very early start to my day today I started to lose my thunder around 2:30pm. Ado was howling when I got up from my desk and walked back and forth in the office to keep my eyes open, something he normally does. I even went so far as to buy a coffee (caffeinated) and drink that sucker whole. It helped. Maybe it was just Caged Tiger who went with me to get it and the very silly conversation we had.

No White Wishes work tonight after 4.5 hrs of evaluating. Tomorrow is another day. I did get an idea for my Dream weavers series from watching the latest episode of Heroes at 1am. Decided to pull the notes out to look at in the coming weeks as a reprieve should White Wishes cause me any problems. Sometimes it just about changing the focus for a minute or two.

Hmm! I just realized that in 2.5 more hours, I will have been up for 24 hours. No wonder I feel like I just did another blogathon. And on that note sleep calls and I listens...

Check out Theatre Rusticle The show, The Stronger starts on Dec 7th, 2006. A fantastic show. Funny, brilliant, entertaining and thought provoking. Also it gave me an idea for another novel that I want to write. By the end of the show when I saw it at the Fringe in 2005, I wrote down a statement and a question and from there frantically wrote a bunch of what ifs until I had the novel idea which is tentatively titled, The Fold.

Sleep and sweet sweet dreams.
