I'm currently ticking off the hours until a First-born visit tonight. I'm actually collecting her from The Ex, so it should be interesting...
In the mean time I have a performance appraisal to do. My approach to these has been:
Boss: "How would you rate your performance in the past year?"
Me: "Fantastic. I'm great. The Daddy. The Man. *You* tell me how I'm not. And I'll have a pay rise, please"
Which, surprisingly, always seems to work. I suspect that I've always left my backbone in the office when going home of an evening.
This time I have a form to complete.
Question 1: "How do you handle criticism?"
My answer: "With surprise"
