Screaming Bean
Friday, January 16, 2009

Yesterday was my review. I'm still employed, so I guess that's a start. Our bonuses were pared back considerably, but since I got considerably less than everyone else last year, I didn't have that much to be pared. But of course, this all came at a cost. It seems I can't write. Or at least that was what I was told yesterday. Now mind you, my boss seems to think good sentence structure involves a paragraph-length sentence with serial commas. However, I do not write on the level of an attorney. I am supposed to take courses to that end in order to bring myself to his level of competency. I was dumbstruck to say the least. Especially when I was also told that my choice of vocabulary also is not at the level he expects. What do you say to that? Excuse me, just because I don't find your use of herein, therewith, and heretofore useful does not make me an incompetent. No, instead I just sat ramrod straight, teeth clenched, and did not as much as twitch. I tried to go to my happy place, but it didn't work. So now, not only do I hate my job more than before, I now doubt myself. I think that's far worse.
