Getting Happy Food

So, this is me after work last night, getting food at a Taco Bell drive-thru...



I figured I deserved it after doing my usual great job AND having a chat with my manager about my review. Included in that chat was his word that he would try to check up with me more this year and to include me in meetings (I told him I'm even willing to come in early for them, since I work second shift).

I even found out I got a pay raise, but I have to make sure this month that it's taken effect. Yay! =D

Review This!

Today I got my yearly review at work.

And I didn't sign it.

Instead, I wrote an email to my facility manager, asking if it was proper for me to get a review without my manager even sitting down with me to go over it. I've never seen a review, no matter how good it is, written as only a summary without talking about any of the employee's strengths and weaknesses and/or a roadmap to improvement. Even more perplexing, how can this guy write a review about someone that he's only talked to barely a handful of times in the whole fucking year!? Am I not worth anyone's time if I'm being paid to do my job and do it well, no matter how little follow-up is needed where I'm concerned?

Shit is going to hit the fan tomorrow, and it may be as unpleasant for me as it is to the managers involved.

Dailyboof

Some of you may remember some obscure site called Dailybooth. You know, one of those post-a-picture-and-blurb-a-day microblogging sites that got popular some years ago? Well, I was really into that. So much into it that it was narcissistically scary. I kinda miss having that kind of platform, so this blog will be kind of modeled after that. Of course, I hope to keep this up somewhat daily. Let's hope I do.

If you want to be notified of my exploits here, there's a handy-dandy* subscribe-by-email thingie in the sidebar. Use it. =P

Now, can I get some sleep? Oh yeah... I'm mildly insomniac.

(* I just love hyphens, don't I)

A Clean Slate

Hi there! Some of you know me, some of you don't. I've blogged before on this Blogger platform, my first time having such a thing. The second time, I used Wordpress on rented server space. I'm into photography, so you may see quite a few pictures here. I'm also into talking about music, so you'll see posts about that too. Oh, and I vent too. so be prepared for that. Basically, this blog will be personal and crammed with anything I want to throw out there about my life. I felt like blogging again because I need a creative outlet for my musings and also, well, I need the practice.  Writing is one of those things that works out the synapses of the mind, right?

Oh! I'm sorry... I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chris. Hi! Nice to meet you! =D
