I Hate Performance Appraisals!
‘Mornin’ sweetie [Lynn].
Temp is about 19 degrees here. I just got home from West Philly about a half hour ago and was doing a time sheet for [work]. Getting ready to head out for the weekend at 12:30 this afternoon. Love that train ride. The dog is smart.
The manager emailed me yesterday about my appraisal. I hate appraisals. They’re like warts that just will not go away. 
Anyway, he seemed a bit surprised that I didn’t meet my training objectives for last year. Of course, those objectives didn’t account for the Y2K pit falls we encountered. And, they also assumed that the software I currently support would have been retired by now and that I’d be supporting the ‘new’ system. So, I told him that there would be no point in taking the classes until I was sure to use the material immediately. If I take the courses and then do not apply the information, I’ll forget it. So, I think he understood.
Well, have to go for now. Take care, and talk to you soon.
