The company I'm consulting with instituted a performance evaluation. Even though a consultant, I wasn't spared. But I was glad to have undergone such. (It's been a decade - even more, since I had such formal process). Normally, I was the one who conducted evaluations, so when the tables were turned, the feeling was differently weird.

I scribbled all the discussion points on post-its, in case I miss any and now I can't read any of them. I just see that out of 5 stars (it wasn't Roger Ebert who rated me) I got a 4 on almost points and a 5 on Reliability and Flexibility.

With my work evaluation done with, I'm scheduling other tests:

- Annual Medical Exam : check high blood pressure and cholesterol level
- Vocal Imaging : improvement of speech techniques for people who do most business over the phone
- Sacrament of Confession : for obvious reasons
- Income Tax Preparation : haha, to see if I still have money
