I just finished Devils Punchbowl by Greg Iles. Really good. I have read everything he has written. he is a really good suspense writer. If that is what you like.
dyk, are you ready for this...my boss actually said to me...TODAY..."good job."
dyk, could have knocked me over with a feather...it's been, oh, 6 or 7 MONTHS since she's said that, or anything remotely similar, to me
dyk, my reward for a job well done (I'm finished ALL of my first reviews and ahead on my audit comments as well as keeping up with all of the random requests) was to pick up a fund from someone because he 'doesn't have time to review it.'
dyk, none of us are exactly sure WHAT it is that he does all day, but it's clear that work is not one of the things.
Past Races:
-Boston Run to Remember Half Marathon, 5/29/11 (2:35:11, no training!)
-Corporate Run, 3.5 miles 6/2/11 (36:38, 4 days after running the half!)
-BAA 10k, 6/26/11 (1:04:52, wanted to be under an hour...)
-Tavern to Tavern
dyk, if history repeats itself (and with my boss, it DOES)...she'll finish writing my review (and by writing, I mean copy my year end review and change 'excise' to '2/28 and 6/30') around 6:00 and not have time to meet with me so we'll both check off the boxes and call it a day.
dyk, and in a couple of weeks after the hectic 6/30 cycle has wrapped up and I'm frantically trying to get out of the office to go on a much deserved and long over due vacation, she'll want to chat about it. I'll be so caught off guard that I'll forget half of what I want to say to her and still end up talking to her for 2 hours.
dyk, I wrote (and by wrote, I mean I ACTUALLY WROTE A NEW REVIEW) and administered all of the reviews I'm responsible for before July even started, earlier than anyone else in the DEPARTMENT...THAT'S how awesome I am.

DYK How about keeping a list of points you want to make with your boss, so whenever this late and impromptu meeting takes place, you can grab it and still be prepared?

DYK I had a boss like that once?
DYK When I asked why he never told anyone they did a good job, he said, 'well you're getting a paycheck, aren't you?'
DYK I resolved right then not to ever treat my employees that way?

DYK- I'm here... lurking for the most part
DYK - Yes I was on vacation at home last week.
DYK- Lots of stuff going on, some good, some not so good, and some bad
DYK- I'm in a rut with my eating and weight and not very happy about it
DYK - My full-time job has me stressed out, my part-time job is cutting hours, which is good and bad for me.
DYK- I feel like I'm disconnected at home with the family and just want to be left alone to do my thing
DYK- Basically nothing really good to report, so I've been flying under the radar here so not to be complaining all the time.
DYK that was
