In fabulous random good news, my (extremely late and HR demanded) 90 day review happened today. Apparently I exceed expectations in every way. I R AWESOME! Go Go Gadget Me! Have I mentioned lately that I really like this job? Because I do. Even though it has been quite difficult for me to drag my lazy ass into an office on a regular basis, this ( Read more... )
