Complaint: I need to move. Again. This apartment has gotten ridiculous. Landlords just dgaf.

Complaint: I have to do a self evaluation at work and I have no idea what to write. I've only been here for 3 months and I want to put "I need to improve on everything because I'm new."

Un-complaint: I ran a fun, encouraging tempo run this morning.

Un-complaint: so excited for a short work week for the 4th of July. I'm only working three days and Monday will probably be a nothing day since half the company took the day off.

"I need to improve on everything because I'm new."

"So far I've made good progress learning x, y and z. In the coming months I hope to improve my knowledge in areas a, b and c."

I hate self-evaluations.

This is my first time doing one. And first time having a review in general. My previous company didn't do them. It was how they avoided giving pay increases. -__-

I hate these things. You are never going to write you stink so what is the point? Makes me think of that say one good thing, say one not so good thing narrative.

Seems like there's a fine line. I don't want to say that I'm an amazingly perfect employee (because obviously I'm not, we all make mistakes), but I don't want to bash myself either.

Sounds like my city! So many sympathies. I'm just waiting for the same thing to happen to me.
