Im having trouble at work.  I quit about 3 weeks ago but promised to stay on if they gave me the raise and respect that I deserve.  They gave me the raise and pretend to show respect but I got my year end evaluation and realized that the whole thing is just a joke. My manager gave me a 2 for honesty and integrity because when I quit, I told her that one of my former co-workers showed me her letter of recommendation from my manager and it was basically all the same bad things that I had written in my christmas review last year so i could only suppose that my manager gave my co-worker the same pointless and completely false review that I had last year.  After that conversation with my manager, she changed the information on my review this year to "2 for honesty. Sharlene recently disclosed that she shares confidential information with current and former employees instead of with management."  Totally false.  I forced my manager to change that statement when i explained to her that letters of recommendation are allowed to be shared with others (thus they are not confidential), and i did not ask for the information, rather it was offered to me to look over (thus, Im not swapping confidential info with my co-workers, rather i listen to their complaints) even so, if i have a complaint against me, i would feel it is my duty to share my weaknesses with my co-workers so they could help me improve, rather than hide all the information that my manager gives me. When my manager changed my ratings on these matters, she asked "well what do you think you deserve?!" and changed it to a higher number i told her i believed was closer to the truth.  The fact that these numbers can be changed so quickly just goes to show how little these numbers matter.  I could get a 0 for honesty and respect and trust... but i dont know how else she could have found out that i was upset that everyones reviews sucked last year and thats the reason why they all quit, unless i had been honest, and truthful about the information that i was aware of.  And no-one is to tell me that I have no respect.  i am the most respectful person I know towards my elders, superiors and colleagues whether or not they give me the same respect back.  Thats all going to change very soon.

So my review went as follows:
Pro's: I listen well (too well. I let my co-workers walk all over me), I am a hard worker (but my availability limits my success because i am too preoccupied with school to commit to this part time job), i make friends everywhere I go (but i create problems with interdepartment contact, such as being friends with security outside of work which is strictly prohibited)

Con's: I withhold information from my manager.  I lie to my co-workers.  I listen too much to the old ladies.  I disclose confidential information.  I use my workplace as my dressingroom (haha, this one is actually true though.)

Pretty much everything about me is a con, regardless if it was in the pro section.  And I dont think my manager knows the security codes... they're allowed to be friends with us, they just cant date us, plus one of the girls i work with IS dating a security guard and didnt get in trouble for it, whereas i got in shit for being friends with all of them.

Speaking of security i spent the most AWESOME weekend with them!  Friday night I went to this guy Nick's house, we got drunk, listened to the Sears LPO band play some tunes for us, then got more drunk.  I had to sleep over at Nicks house because everyone was drinking and couldnt drive home.  I got stuck in a bed with Creepy Jayson (who I love because he saves me all the time, but still... he's creepy cuz he has a crush on me).  But he didnt touch me all night, which was nice, then i went to work with jayson the next morning.  On the saturday, still tired from the party the night before i had my evaluation.  Steve (guy I was seeing for a while) decided to come to a house party with me that night and spent like an hour looking for me. Jayson (also coming to the party) was watching me on camera.  2 creepy guys doing creepy things :P.  anyways there was a bit of a hubbub at the house party that night with the security guys, jayson and steve had a tiff over me (mind you it was entertaining on my part), steve won me over at the party, so jayson was all sad all night, but by the end of the party, steve drove me home and jayson had to crash at my place again because he lives too far away for anyone to want to drive him home. I drove jayson to work the next morning and had a chat with steve about being careful with jaysons feelings.  As much as i love both of them, neither has a chance dating me, and no matter how many times i tell them that, they keep trying.  It may be the chase, it may be that they just wanna be my friend and it just keeps growing to something more, whatever it is, its gotta stop.

Sunday night was kareoke, and Monday night was CANCAN dancing!!  Ahhh I love cancan so much!   I gotta go to the gym now and stretch some more so my muscles dont die tomorrow =P
Ive got rock the fox concerts this week (TWO of them!) and Jen's rockstar party on saturday.  Its a busy week!!!
