Review today, and now I am a regular Half Price Books Employee. My manager told me I scored higher than average but that still doesn't make me feel very good. I was marked negatively for the paperbacks, even though it wasn't really my fault that no bothered to tell me I was supposed to be shelving them. Promised to work on being "more aware of my actions" and on my "efficiency." I apparently talk too much. I don't recall ever being told that before.

But whatever. All that matters is that they didn't fire me or anything like that. Now I can take sick days and holidays. Next week I will have three whole days off. Lovely. Next week is the concert and Natalie's wedding, what fun!

Very tired. Must study. Long day tomorrow.

You talk too much???

Yes, but I think they are required to find things to complain about during reviews, and if not make them up. They told me I wasn't enough of a team player, even though they'd never complained about it until the day of the review.

That is just so silly. Coporate jobs suck that way.

Yeah, it's kind of an odd thing to say. I worry sometimes that I don't talk enough to my coworkers, and now this. Oh well. Any job review is going to be skewed somehow.
