By the Beer Gods, I hate the bureaucracy that runs my town and employs me.

I'm shifting from a full time position in one division to a seasonal position in another division in about a month from now.

Despite the fact that everyone knows I'm leaving my current job that I've only been at for three months, I have to do a Performance Managment review and a two year goal setting program. Two years worth of goals. For a job I'm exiting from in a month.

I've tried explaining how pointless this is but all I get are stern head shakes and "Well, you should just do it."

I've done some quick figuring and decided it will actually take me less time to create some imaginary goals, bitch about it in a post to you folks and submit them than it would to eventually convince the powers that be to let me off the hook.

So they get to review my imaginary goals for a whole month before I leave.

:D :D

You should give them some creepy goals, you used to be some type of public care taker?? fighting birds and what not? well you should have goals of destroying all arial fiends by month 6....

I have to deal with similar red tape and bs in the military... You have to do this, Why it's stupid? so do it anyway, everyone has to do it!

hey its Zanth! hey Zanth!

anyways Rodeo, i think the mayor and the elimination of aerial fiends are good, but you should also say that you plan to be a master of all western and eastern weapons styles

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I love Sin Toste as well,

and i dont think you stand a chance against duncan or conner....

perhaps we should stick with more realistic goals... curing cancer/aids/hiv/herpes for example

I had a similar thing when I left the Honda car plant I used to work in. I'd already given my months notice but I still had to sit down with my boss and discuss goals, training and career aspirations. Complete waste of his time but I was happy sitting in the office drinking coffee rather than being out on the assembly line working.

Make grass carnivorous.

Encourage ramblers.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Unite the homeless in a Holy Crusade and re-take the local supermarket and found a micro-state of constant food for them.
