Who wants to help me identify appropriate training and professional development activities for next year?
Once I do that, I will be done with my evaluation.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

appropriate training and professional development activities for next year?
I, Perkins, will endevour to attend each and every conference located near a Buffista. Thus, I will only be in the office approximately 3.7 days in 2010.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Big meeting we had to dress up for is done. They served enough food that I can spoil lunch, but probably not enough to be lunch. Random food too. Nothing as tasty as msbelle's or kat's.
I ran the team meeting yesterday instead of New Guy. We spent the start of it in hilarity about the horribleness of living in the Midwest (ribbing on the team member that calls in from Minnesota). It was pretty clear that this only happens when I run the meetings. I don't think it's a black mark on me (Boss didn't come in for that part of it, so he never need know).

I've never understood the point of mission statements.
The problem is that so many of them fail to meet the criteria for good mission statements: clear, memorable and measurable. The last two places I worked had mission statements with "world class" in them, e.g. "become a world-class electricity provider." What the hell does that mean? Given the right criteria, anything can be world-class. I am a world-class person named Ginger posting on this board.

Permanent. I'm really bitter about it.
My b.org screen is styled to remove most of the colour and graphics, so I'm not going to restrict my use here much, but other twitchy browsing is going to be curtailed.
Bah! It's just how I work. Dip into work, break brain out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I often enjoy hilarity in meetings! When the work gets done and the meeting doesn't run long.
My org's official mission statement is really more of a vision and/or tagline. But whatever, it's punchy, at least.

When I run meetings there's always hilarity. I think it's a great team bonding tool.
I don't think we have a mission statement. But we also don't have a logo or a website.

Absolutely.

It is. Totally.
