I just got my performance review. Two highlights (The Lake has been used to protect my identity)

• The Lake creates a positive work environment with his humor and good nature
• The Lake should not pull back from more Senior Level exposure

So despite my hatred of staff meetings, listening to people talk about how they accidentally used cinnamon vs paprika in their deviled eggs and people who when approaching a problem think about solving it as number four or five on their task list, they are going to keep me around for another year.
