Please identify project or team accomplishments that you have been part of during this year.

I feel I played a crucial role in re-organizing our filing system, because the colored tabs really help in finding the types of files your looking for. I only wish we'd purchased a bigger variety of colors. I was also the one who led the countdown when we launched the weather machine.

Please identify the individual contributions to the work you made this year.


Resolved dispute over official policy regarding which font to use in e-mails by suggesting MS Sans Serif which has no serifs to appease the Arial crowd, but a little more flair for the Times-New Roman crowd.

What opportunities do you see for improvement related to the work of teams or projects in your department?

I think my department is truly top-notch, and when we put our minds to it we're capable of anything. We work harder, we work faster, and we have a terrific sense of teamwork. I only wish some of my co-workers shared this opinion. Too often they spend too much time complaining about their assigned tasks and too much time on the phone. I really think we'd do better with a smaller department.

What professional development opportunities would you like to see addressed in the next six months?
I would like a bigger cubicle.

How can your direct supervisor support you more to help you do your job?
I wish she'd stop nit-picking. I mean, I know I'm not perfect, but it's like I have to hear about every mistake: "This is for accounts receivable, not accounts payable," "Clipping today's 'Cathy' to hang on your cube is not a priority," "Please don't bring a flask to work anymore." It's like she just doesn't 'get' me.

What barriers exist to the achievement of your work?

Lava, spinning blades, a boss fight, holes.

Please highlight goals and/or objectives that you have for the remainder of 2006.

My goal is to resign my position here and dedicate myself to finding that wonderful land where money grows on trees and robots aren't just a fantasy for tomorrow, but a reality for today. Then, with my ready cash and robot army, I will return to conquer this debased and bankrupt land. Then a nice Thanksgiving with family.
