I love these things to bits...

It's been over a year since I've had to suffer the extraordinary bullshit of an employee appraisal (remember my last one?), but Open Spacey seem to be going for the jugular. Apart from the form to complete, there is an accompanying 6 page doc on "company definitions". For example, under Ability to Work Independently, there is a list of definitions, including Assumes responsibility for completion of projects without prodding. Without prodding? Keep that cattle prod away from me you bastard, I was only away from my desk for 3 minutes...

Anyway, I have a confidential (ha ha ha) form to hand in to my boss and seeing as I'm his only subordinate, and I also have to assess him, I can pretty much assume it's going to be scrutinized before being passed onwards and upwards. I will therefore have to delve back into my bullshit bank and come out with some corkers. Any suggestions? And no, I'm not expecting anything good to come out of this appraisal, apart from the re-hashing of the part-time vs full-time battle.

I so enjoy being my own boss, none of this utter bollox to deal with.
