A couple of days ago I asked, Do You Know This Vid? I got a couple of things wrong -- the little girl's hair is light brown, not blonde -- but fayance kindly pointed me to the correct site and video.

I once read that 'a literate person can never be successful at cleaning out the attic'. I believe it. I need to do some housecleaning today. In picking up papers, and going through them to decide which to keep and which to throw away, I came across the 'SUPER Performance Evaluation Chart'. It might even make the boss's critique entertaining ( Read more... )
