tuesday evening

i'm planning to work from home tonight. sort of. it's time for my yearly review at the office, and the whole process gets started by me filling out a self-appraisal. my computer at work gives me all sorts of issues if i try doing it there, plus there's just so much other stuff to do at the office that the self-appraisal gets forgotten about. so, i'm doing it from home. i'm not sure that you wanted that information, but there you have it. :) i plan to blog through it. not necessarily blog about the self-appraisal (i'm against blogging about work, you know), but about all the things i do in between the questions. i mean, at some point i gotta take a break from telling my supervisor how great i am, right?

7:33 p.m. - a little ticked that yahoo won't let me check my mail. i can log in, but then it tells me "Sorry for the inconvenience. You've stumbled upon a temporary problem we're having with Yahoo! Mail. Usually this problem gets resolved quickly, without you doing a thing. In fact it may be taken care of now." but in fact, it is not yet taken care of. hmph.

i love the auto-save feature blogger added awhile back. i can totally add to this post randomly without worrying about it being lost. five points for blogger. and a gold star for good measure.

8:06 p.m. - i keep a binder filled with print outs of all the work i do. it's a pretty cool system that i can't take credit for - but it totally makes this evaluation thing easier. i mean, it can be hard to remember what all you've worked on in the past 12 months, but with a binder to flip through ... well, it's no wonder i'm tired when i come home at the end of the day. i do a lot of stuff.;)

yahoo is still sorry for the inconvenience.

8:21 p.m. - aol im just logged me in again. i didn't log out ... but it logged me in again.

yahoo is still sorry for the inconvenience.

8:35 p.m. - aim just logged me in again. and yep, you guessed it, i didn't log out. i wonder if this is an issue because i'm on a mac. it's hard to believe the program is this unstable for everyone.

but hey - yahoo is able to give me my e-mail. go yahoo! granted it was just three junk mail messages about how to improve my love life. but still, it's nice to get mail.

8:41 p.m. - can you tell i'm losing interest in the work stuff? i think i've found a new way to fill out all those e-mail/myspace surveys. one of my co-workers shared one with me today that her friend had filled out. he addressed his responses to the survey itself, since it's the survey asking the questions. it humored me.

9:02 p.m. - done. that's right, a full six days before deadline, and i'm done with the self-appraisal. i should have totally used that as an example of my good planning & organizational skills. :)
