Jessica 0 #1 October 26, 2002 So I had some skydiving stuff coming via UPS but they came when I wasn't here and they dropped it off at my apartment's leasing office -- which doesn't open back up until Monday!!!!!!!! And it's pissing rain. And I have to fill out this stupid self-evaluation form for work which I promised to have in last week but still can't bring myself to do because it makes me sound like an asshole. And I don't have enough outlets in this room to plug in the stereo, light, and iron in all at once. Since I can't iron in the dark, I have to iron in silence. Therefore life sucks. Thank you very much.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teemu 0 #2 October 26, 2002 Hi Jessica! Sounds bad. But I have a solution for you. Open a bottle of wine or couple of beer cans, forget ironing, turn on your stereo on and have a good time!! After that life doesn't suck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #3 October 26, 2002 Why are you ironing? Use the dryer, like most everyone else does....!!! LOL... Yes, what Teemu said...open an alcoholic drink and toast the rain... as for your eval, post it up and let US fill it in for you....As for me, I have to go to work in a little bit....and working all day tomorrow, as well. But I got jumps in this week! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallRate 0 #6 October 26, 2002 1. Break into the room that has your stuff, light something on fire with your iron and claim you smelled smoke. 2. Have a ghost-writer do the self-eval. 3. Replace all of your clothing with perm-press. 4. Have your work faxed to you and drink the damn beer. 5. Start referring to your bird as McNugget...if that doesn't straighten its ass up (or at least keep it over the newspaper), consider getting a cat. 6. Yep, rain sucks. Deal.

Jessica 0 #10 October 26, 2002 Quoteas for your eval, post it up and let US fill it in for you... Okie dokie.... 1. Job Knowledge: Consider general knowledge, work-gained experience and specialized training. Can employee handle most routine aspects of the job with minimum supervision? Does employee have a clear understanding of the job duties? Does the employee learn from experience and grow in the job? 2. Quality of Work: Consider volume of work accomplished in relation to amount of work assigned. Does the employee consistaently turn out satisfactory work? God, these are dumb. Here's my favorite: 7. Appearance/Responsibility: Consider the ability to care for tools, equipment and supplies. Does the employee maintain a clean, neat and orderly work area? Does the employee maintain personal neatness appropriate for the job? I want to answer: "Yes, I shower."Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teemu 0 #11 October 26, 2002 ***...And I have beer in the fridge, but I have to go to work in a couple of hours. If you have beer, forget the rest. A free plan for you: 1. Open the fridges door 2. Take a beer and open it 3. Drink it 4. Go back to #1 until the fridge is empty 5. Go to bar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #12 October 26, 2002 Quote ...And I have beer in the fridge, but I have to go to work in a couple of hours. Um....read the DUI thread, and see how long it takes to sober up. If there's time, go ahead and pop-hissssssssssss....if not, it will be there for you when you come home. As to your bird crapping on you, there is a reason I don't own birds...

Michele 1 #14 October 26, 2002 ****************** 1. Job Knowledge: Consider general knowledge, work-gained experience and specialized training. Can employee handle most routine aspects of the job with minimum supervision? Does employee have a clear understanding of the job duties? Does the employee learn from experience and grow in the job? Yes, I do. My general knowledge is quite adequate. While I don't necessarily know specific aspects of the job, that's not what I am here for. I am paid, poorly, to watch that others get it right. I am an editor, after all, and because of that, I only need general knowledge; specificity is not required. As for work gained experience, I can now successfully make coffee, turn on and off the lights, hollar "stop the presses" and whatnot. The rest of the things I utilize daily came from college. In regards to the routine job duties, as evidenced by my filling out my own evaluation, I can honestly say yes, I understand my job duties. I also recommend myself for a raise. Having had significant experiences to grow from, I would in fact say that I can learn on the job. However, what specifically I have learned, on the other hand, is not necessarily applicable to being an editor for a large daily paper. 2. Quality of Work: Consider volume of work accomplished in relation to amount of work assigned. Does the employee consistently turn out satisfactory work? Of course. Spell check and I are old friends. Grammatical structure and parsing of sentences, aligning coherent topic sentences with following supportive data, and conclusionary statements restructured to reflect accurate assessments of situations to me are second nature. Further, if you count the amount of editing and grammar-nazi-ing which is done on-line, you would be incredibly impressed at the amount of work I can accomplish in a short amount of time. I don't believe you are using me to the limits of my ability, but the amount of work accomplished is according to the amount I am paid. I would recommend a raise for me. You may see even more production if that were an incentive. (hey, what happened to 3, 4, 5, and 6?) 7. Appearance/Responsibility: Consider the ability to care for tools, equipment and supplies. Does the employee maintain a clean, neat and orderly work area? Does the employee maintain personal neatness appropriate for the job? Yes. I shower, shave, and shampoo. I even iron my own clothing. I do not go to the cleaners anymore, however, because of the cancer-causing chemicals used therein. I mean, clean clothes are not worth dying of cancer, you know? Furthermore, I am neat, tidy, and generally well put together. I make sure that all notes, gossip and rumormongering e-mails are deleted as soon as responded to. I am tidy in the workplace, and am able to maintain all equipment assigned to me (well, with the exception of the coffee being spilled on the keyboard, and the occasional splat of red paint across the windows which tends to be a tension releaser for me...). I am perfectly acceptable in my appearance, even though my co-workers are not. If you find that my appearance is unacceptable, may I suggest a raise so that I can afford better clothig and a routine visit to the nail and hair salon? ******************* Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samurai136 0 #18 October 26, 2002 I've been waiting for the mail today. I'm waiting for my new Samurai. Just checked the mail. No package.As far as self-evaluations go; your evaluation is your opportunity to re-sell your self to the company. In that spirit you should give yourself the highest sunny day evaluation you can. No cyncism. Recognize some shortcomings but sell the whole thing as a series of positives. If you won't give yourself a glowing eval. who will? A self-eval is no place to complain about corporate failings and obstacles that keep you from doing a top notch job.

Does the employee maintain personal neatness appropriate for the job? The employee strives to maintain a neat, professional manner, including personal grooming. Therefore, the employee is consistent in her ability to appear clean.
