I haven't been back in action for a while. Not that I don't have things to bitch and moan about that is that I am overwhelmed with work (wazz new right?).
Is that time of the year again....crunch time with the beginning of the General-Assembly, the preparation of the Annual Reports, preparation of 2009 Costplan/Workplans and the strategic visions for the year to come.....Normally I have no clue on what I'm gonna do the week end but I am quite good at work-related strategic visions for the years to come. So...I thought I would apply my skills to conduct a review of this year in number. Basically I am going to tally the shit up: this way I shall review areas that need urgent action to improve the performance.
Professional life:Number of times you cursed your job: 730
Number of times you said how much you loved your job: 730
Number of viable ideas generated about a different career: 1
Comment: Action has been taken to address the situation....process on going. Self has been quite proactive about it.

Number of workshops attended to improve management skills: 2
Number of blogs you created: 1
Number of people who actually read your blog: 4
Number of times you got busted for the smack written on your blog: 1
Comment: Self, blog is a time consuming exercise. It does not teach you anything. Furthermore it is not sustainable since you will be moving to a part of the World where blogs are blocked and freedom of expression is an empty concept. Suggest you close the blog asap and take up Amharic class instead. THAT will come at hand.

Number of hours beloved friends, including your chiropractor, spent coaching you about the above: 1,300
Number of times you actually listened: 0

Number of times you actually did something about these fantasies: 0
Number of times you contemplated becoming a Chef: 18
Number of times you were crippled with self-doubt when contemplating the idea of taking cooking classes: 18
________________________________
Conclusion: Overall, in reviewing your statistics I must say that I am a little concerned. Self, I think you know it but you are in denial. You think it’s all going to get better by itself, but Self, we both know that most of the time, you turn a blind eye saying "you are too busy" but you are just a lazy b*@ch. . If I don’t see an improvement over the next quarter, I will be forced to put you on a monitored performance plan and limit your access to internet.
Yours truly,
Strategic self
