Cancelling meetings is Good
My calendar looked ridiculous at the start of the week but a couple of cancellations made it manageable. One of the things that slipped in to one of the gaps was my annual appraisal.
I am a big supporter of the process - reflecting back and planning forward are things I approve of. But the form always feels a bit like a school report, and the older I get, the weirder that feels. My line manager is about my age, too, so in most ways our relationship is one of equals - and then there's this...
Anyway, my objectives from last year weren't really fulfilled - but largely because, I now realise, the objectives themselves were rather wooly. They were mostly, 'Rosa will do aspect x of her JD' - which... well... yeah... that's my job. This year's are better, I think. Except one that I've asked to be rewritten. We'll see how it goes.
Also did some more shopping for Number 2 Grandson <3 Mostly practical (baby bath, nappies) but also some cute bath toys. It's all feeling very real :D
And two of my colleagues are expecting babies in December. The world is awash with cuteness.
Oh, I think I still haven't given my final thoughts on Lucifer. I really wasn't a fan of series 5. It turned in to the kind of show you'd expect a programme about the Devil would be. And I missed the investigations in series 6. But I did like the ending. I thought it wrapped everything up very nicely.
And now I am back in the nostalgia-fest that is ST:TNG :D
