Well, I'm ready for my talk with HR. Sat down this morning, and instead of doing "productive" work, I sat down and wrote out a bullet-pointed list of things i wanted to be sure to discuss, so that i wouldn't get side-tracked and waste time there. It's a little over a page long of 10 point Times New Roman, so fitting it all into a half hour will be a trick. I also printed out a copy of my mid-year evaluation, and the e-mail i wrote when my boss asked me to come up with a few specific objectives for the February-August period. At the time, i didn't think anything of this, but i vaguely recalled he used them in his comments. Looking at it now, he rearranged two of the ones i wrote, split another into three different points, and posted them verbatim as his comments. In my eyes, this is clear-cut plagiarism, and seriously compromises his integrity, but we'll see what HR thinks. One way or another, i think i'll be greatly relieved when this is done.

Here's the agenda i took to HR

( I'm sure you're all as sick of reading my bitching about work as i'm sick of doing it, so i'm hiding this. Read if you wish. )

OK, i'm tired of complaining about work. So, here's a post of completely non-work related stuff.
Coming Events:
Tomorrow (and every Wednesday): Goth Coffee at the Aurifice. Yaaay! I get to talk to adults about all sorts of things. One of the regular highlights of my week.
Saturday- Seattle Highland Games at the King County Fairgrounds in Enumclaw. Hopefully it'll be cooler, since i've promised to wear my great-kilt, but as long as it's this hot out, i'm really not looking forward to it.
21 August: Great Big Sea, Seven Nations and Young Dubliners in concert at the Paramount. If you like Celtic-flavoured rock, this will be a highly recommended show. Even though it's a Wednesday and will interfere with the regularly scheduled coffee outing, there are guaranteed to be at least two SeaGothim prime for the spotting. Anyone else up for joining us for the show?

Miscellania:
My costumer/seamstress friend Jann is expanding her repetoire. I get to be a guinea pig for the new Utilikilt style garment she's making.
Driving isn't nearly as stressful now that i'm taking the long way as often as possible.
Almost went skating today when i got home, but decided it was still too bloody hot.
