your year's worth

one of the things i like and dislike doing workwise at the end of each year is writing my accomplishment report.  but in a corporate world, writing a good summary can mean a hefty raise or can spell disaster career-wise.  i like the fact that at the big blue, there seems to be a solid process for evaluating employees.  its hard though when you're pitted against your peers, the only question burning in your head is whether you have done enough to upstage your colleagues.  whether there is going to be budget for an increase this year remains a question, the one thing i'm not sure off is if writing a good accomplishment report now makes a difference.  my date with destiny is on the 21st already - my boss is probably going to tell me what i want to hear - finally, phase 2.

i stare at the screen of my laptop right now mulling over how i should transcribe last year into something that has worth.  that is always the challenge - working this long, you'd think i'd have that down pat already.  but each year is a different story and hopefully i figure out the words soon ... specially since this was due last week. crap.
