I just want to take a moment to mention that absolutely without any actual fucking around, the second Chemistry midterm appears to be taking place five days before the final. Because that makes PERFECT actual fucking sense.

It is well-documented that all midterms are every day.  Even after the term.  Ten years after you get your doctorate, there will be a midterm.  Every day.  Maybe twice.

:horrormirth: This is Hell, isn't it? I was bad, and now I'm dead.

I am questioning whether or not it is in fact necessary to be dead to be in hell.  I mean, what if revelation happened and nobody fucking noticed?  The only guy to get "taken up" was some Amish dude in Pennsylvania, and 7-headed beasties wouldn't even get a sideways look in Fat City.

People you thought you knew REALLY WELL go sideways on you, the people you want around wander off, and then, gratuitously, Texas.

Of course it's Hell.  If it were purgatory, some monk would be selling tickets out.

It's time for my Annual Performance Appraisal where my boss tells me how well I met the goals we agreed upon at the start of the year.

Only, my direct superior just left and we didn't agree on any goals a year ago, so someone is going to make up arbitrary goals right now and decide whether I met them earlier in the year.

Now,  that sounds like utter bullshit.

Right, we could do that. But why not strive for a solution which isn't totally farcical plz?

On a brighter note, my boyfriend is back from camping, and we got to enjoy one of the side-benefits of him looking his age; he's 50, and while he's in fantastically good shape, he looks it. I don't look my age. The bartender thought he was my dad. :lol: I'm going to start calling him "Daddy" in public.

I have to write my own reviews.

I gather I am supposed to beat myself up a bit.  I instead stick to the unvarnished truth.  Running across lakes, water into wine, etc.

In any case, I have managed to communicate my woe, this weird fucking surreal thing my life has turned into, and now I feel a bit better, if not entirely back on kilter.

I had something similar to me happen a couple years back.  Company transferred me to a new "position" (same job new boss) right before evaluations.  Naturally, I went from top performer to lowest score because I had only worked for him for ten days, where as the people I'm evaluated against have been there for 5+ years.  If I didn't actually enjoy my job, I would have quit right then.

WELP. That resolved itself quickly. "You're right, that is a total sham. We'll figure out a way to handle this better."

UNCHARACTERISTICALLY FLEXIBLE FOR A CORPORATE.
