Annual Performance Review

I submit to judgment,
My past year’s follies.
Wrapped in truth,
Blurred in perception.
An eloquent eulogy to efforts past
Neatly organized in bullet points.
Promises I made, promises I kept;
In optimistic synchrony,
Designed to please
The review Gods

:)...Is it life in general review by yourself or really a work, work review? I know how the latter feels...:)

@Pallavi: This is work work review. The annual review cycle, that begins with the self-assessment that I have completed. I see the need for it, but I haven't found one person yet who thinks its a pleasant experience :)

Very apt. The self assessment is a pain, and to have to translate it into the language of corporate mumbo-jumbo...

@Niranjan: Indeedy. Its not so much the mumbo-jumbo, but the whole re-stating of what was done in the year that is painful. I am sure most people wish silently that it could all just write itself out :)
