Song of the Day:
She's got a pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer skies
When you see them you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
Now when it's raining I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, hoh-hoh
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, hoh-hoh-oh-oh
Each night I pray
That no-one will steal her heart away
Shakespeare Quote of the Day:
"Courage and comfort, all shall yet go well"
King John, Act ii, Sc.4
I picked this one, since my Annual review is today. I do not look forward to this; I expect it to be most painful. But as long as I am employed at the end of the day, I am no worse for wear. How do I expect it to go?
My manager will say that I'm doing fine in all of the things that aren't measured, and horribly in the things that ARE recorded. I hate days like this. And the worst of it is that it's at the end of the day, leaving me to stew in my own nervous sweat until the fateful hour. It's the NOT KNOWING beforehand thats more painful than the actual torture itself. Which reminds me of a scene in The Return of the King:
Pippin: It's so quiet.
Gandalf: It's the deep breath before the plunge.
Pippin: I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.
Of course, the other way to look at it is that after today, it's an entire new year, giving myself a chacne to prove myself all over again. I have only to make it through the next hour or so, and emerge on the other side and it will be complete.
Did I do the writing I had promised? Yes. Yes I did. However, I did NOT remember to bring it with me this morning. very looooong update coming tomorrow, my friends. My opologies.
