Yesterday I had my performance review here at work. I was pretty nervous in that I thought I had been doing pretty good, but wasn't sure what the boss thought. Turns out he thinks I've been doing better than pretty good, and agrees that I deserve a raise. I put in for more than I actually expected I would be able to extract from the place, but that way I am more likely to get what I realistically want. But don't tell him that - maybe I will get the figure I wrote down!!
I also have to do the progress review for the thesis - that will not be as glowing I think, but I know what the problem is and have already started to solve it - I need to spend more quality time on the book.
So one of my solutions is to blog at work - after all if the boss is more than happy with outputs, and they don't change, and if I spend less time fluffing round at home and the other boss becomes happier with outputs, then its win-win all round.
