This morning I had my annual Performance Appraisal review and it was very positive. [party] As some of you know I was almost made redundant (this is lingo for being laid off) 2 years ago so it really feels good. Even more because the kind of work I've done past year really suits me well and we agreed I should develop more into that in 2005 and on. There were points for improvement of course but there always are.
The talk was with my line manager and the project manager I've been working with past year and we had a very open talk. Since we wanted to express some of the humor on this otherwise quite difficult project we mentioned the Nerdtest (the same we ran here) where I made the highest score of all in the team willing to participate (some in the team didn't want to and I'm sure they would have beaten me period).
Afterwards we had a small chat over a cup of coffee and I explained a little about career plans 7 years ago and how my perspective has changed. While explaining he started laughing and said "We need nerds as well at xxx".
2005 has just started and I can't imagine a line beating this!
