So either they're *completely* clueless...

Or someone at work has a *much* more evil sense of humor than I would have credited them with.

Got called in on my day off, because the coworker was sick. Really wasn't in much better shape myself, between the hives and an arthritis flareup so bad I could barely sleep (and MAN did I wish I could take some motrin for it, but motrin exacerbates the hives.) I'd dosed and half myself with the Elavil to try to force myself to sleep and fight off the hives. Oh, and the explosive gut cramps. Those were fun. I think I'm stressed or something.

So, anyway, drag myself in ON MY DAY OFF, and root around in my bucket to find...

My annual "Employee self review worksheet"

It's all about TIMING.

Questions include: List what you believe were the key elements of your job during the past year. (Covering up your...)

List special contributions you feel you have made to your department during the last appraisal period. (Covering up your...)

List notable obstacles you encountered in accomplishing your job responsibilities during the last appraisal period. (Covering up your...)

What areas do you want to develop in the next year? (My aim.)

Add any additional information which you wish to have considered in your appraisal. (Oh, let's not. Please.)

Is there anything your supervisor could do to better assist you in your position? (See items 1 through 3, inclusive. See also, TAAAAAAAAASER.)

*sigh*

Re So either they're *completely* clueless...

Eris...yesterday I was having one of the most god-awful days of the last god-awful month I could imagine. No one cooperating, being asked to do impossible tasks in impossible timeframes, on top of which I'm fed up with being nothing but a data-pusher for the last 6 weeks (read: I like to make decisions and I'm making ZERO decisions, just feeding data to other people who are making all the decisions.)

I get an email for the Annual Employee Opinion Survey in my email. My boss, during staff says "Make sure you all take the employee survey!". I told her I'd wait a couple of days because she really didn't WANT my opinion right then and there.
