Vault Network Boards - Self-Evaluations at Work...ever had to do one?

Before I retired and began sleeping-in every day, I had a job that required me to complete a self-evaluation form every year. As it turned out, apparently I was the best damn employee the county ever had. I got five stars in every catagory, every year, each catagory accompanied by such phrases as "Prunesquallor's devotion to his job is exceeded only by the excellence of his work," and "though deeply humble, Prunesquallor stands head and shoulders above his co-workers in matters of integrity, honesty, and, in fact, in all fields of human endeavor."

Once, a co-worker read one of my self-evaluations and subsequently wanted me to evaluate him in like manner. What I did was, I turned in a written evalutation of him which stated simply, "He often shows up at work." Afterwards he seemed less than grateful, even though I gave him a star.

Ingrate.

Every year. They're coming up soon, and I dread them. My job is pretty mindless and boring. Every year they ask for goals. I'm tempted to put "To make it through another year" on it this year. How many goals can a glorified secretary have, anyway? It's not like I can take schooling to make me be a better secretary, after all. I know all the programs I'm required to know. In fact, I'm the go-to person when anyone in the office has questions, including my boss!

Meh.

are you a sexy secretary? if you are you should put down "have an affair with the boss" as one of your goals. All hot secretaries do it, that's how they get the good raises.

*shudder* You haven't met my boss. No raise is worth that...

As for moving forward at all, there is nowhere that's "up" from my position. I could make lateral moves, if someone left, but it won't actually earn me any more money. It's the downside of being employed by a small private school. If I could decide what I want to be when I grow up, I'd start taking classes...
