It's that time of the year ...

Argh, performance review time. I've never had that in any job before, but it's a big corporation and HR has to justify its existence somehow, I suppose. Yes, I like my boss. No, I don't mind having a sit-down with him. No, I don't WANT to wax poetic with corporatespeak about the fabulous things I am doing in my job, because I feel I could be doing better - not from any bad feedback I'm getting, just because I'm that anal and perfectionist. PLEASE to just be sitting down with me and telling me what I could be doing better, and I'll be a happy camper, I promise. That's all I really want, and I'd be even happier if it could be done over the course of time as stuff comes up, not all at once. Easier to remember that way.

And yes, I am changing my default icon because it is July 1 and I am no longer cutting spoilers on this journal for AWE. In fact, POTC spoilers no longer exist on my journal, not even for DVDs. Will is kick-ass captain of the Flying Dutchman, Elizabeth is not playing "village bike" behind his back but instead figuring out what productive she's doing to do with her life, and Jack is patiently waiting for Barbossa to double back and coax him aboard his ship in exchange for navigation to the Fountain of Youth.

holy shikies

Just how dumb are people, anyway? Helping someone you know is one thing. Helping someone you know strictly online is shakier, but hey, I guess at least they have an identity of some sort. But what shit-for-brains idiot would fall for this kind of scam? Probably the same people who gave that woman in New York money to pay off her credit cards a few years ago, after she lost her PR job and was begging for donations because she'd spent so much of her salary on shoes and clothes while working.

Eh, it's probably just jealousy talking. I wish I could run a scam like that to pay off more than $20,000 on credit cards.

In lighter news ... Orlando, buddy, what is UP with the pornstache? In an odd twisted way, I really, really love this look, if for no other reason than I can hum bow chicka BOW bow every time I see him. He's trying to look older since turning 30, bless his heart, but he's chosen such a "guy" way to go about it. Mwahahahaha ......
