The Weird-Week Meter Is Pegged
Tuesday: Received performance review from day job. By contrast to last year's total joke, this year I was fairly evaluated, given an overall 4 out of 5 rating and a reasonable (though not all that exciting) pay increase.
Wednesday: Homeowner's Association meeting started on time, proceeded through the agenda with no shouting or acrimony, ended on time.
Wednesday night: Found out, through a completely accidental Google result, something totally unexpected about someone I thought I knew pretty well.
Thursday: New company laptop arrived, after a year of asking and cajoling and demonstrating how the current one is completely inadequate and likely to fail (further) at any time. Amazing what a difference a management reorganization can make (see Tuesday as well for another example).
Later Thursday: Received "World Class Achievement" award for 1st quarter 2004, including a nice certificate and an even nicer check. Again, hooray for the management shuffle.
Thursday night: Sold six B&N memberships in 3.5 hours, making a rather amazing (though not record-breaking, even for me) 10.5% conversion rate.
What will Friday bring?
Edit: Did I say "totally unexpected"? Perhaps, upon further reflection (and more extensive Googling), I should have said "unbefuckinglieveable holy crap how did I miss this?" It's interesting--I know exactly what Google has on me, and aside from a few slight indiscretions in the early days (before I realized the whole eternal archive thing) I guess I'm pretty tame. Just goes to show that things are not always what they appear to be. Sometimes they are totally, completely, diametrically opposed.
By the way, I should note that--in case I wasn't clear--it does not bother me at all. I'm just trying to absorb the radical worldview change. Blah, blah, some of my best friends (really), blah, blah.
