Performance Appraisal Form
Jul. 18th, 2006 07:03 pmSo, the bossman (who is like, allergic to doing anything remotely boss-like) finally got around to doing our yearly evaluations. Which is dumb, because although he is ultimately my supervisor, it's not like he comes out of his office more than once a day (usually less) to interact with us. Also, while he knows things about conservation, as far as I know, he does not actually know how to do the stuff that I and everybody else do. So even though I got a good review, I feel the mere fact that he is the one reviewing us is fucked up. Plus, he keeps quoting a "team leader", who is obviously Mick (my direct supervisor who actually teaches me how to do things and observes the results), so basically the entire evaluation is second hand information.
According to one of the Mick quotes, my case binding, resews, and paper repair "show a maturity beyond the amount of time [I] have been working here." Which sounds like a compliment until you consider that I ought to have a maturity beyond the amount of time I've been working at Princeton because I worked at Rochester first.
And I don't even know why I'm complaining because I got a good review and the only remotely negative things were "a few months of reticence while she was getting to know us and we her", which, duh, and the assertion that I needed to "organize and tidy [my] workspace" which made me laugh because the main thing that makes my desk look like a huge mess is the fact that I save all my scraps of things because I cannot throw them away because they could be used for something. Anything. Just because I haven't come up with it yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. So I did, like, dust and shit, but the primary aspect of "tidying my workspace" was to hide my piles of scraps in the drawers instead of leaving them on the desk.
Like I said, it was a good review, I'm not gettin' fired or nuthin'-- it's just all so why bother? If some random dude off the street could come in and write the same damn stuff without even knowing what I look like, what's the point?
