#355 Weekend PerfectShawn

What a wonderful weekend.

Nothing too complicated or stressful.

Got to sleep in both days. 

Watched some Christmas Movies and specials.

Wrapped the last gifts.

Went for a couple lovely walks in the crisp cool air.

Took some photos about the city.

And just otherwise took it easy.

Weekend dreams are made of these...

#236 Peaceful PerfecShawn

You don't have to do much to have a perfect day on PEI.

To start off, you wake from a very restful sleep.  

Then you have a relaxing morning.

Head into town and run a few errands.

Then get back to the cottage and head down to the beach for a peaceful 90 minute walk.

Now we sit and wait for a perfect sunset to end a perfect day.

PEI is Peaceful Perfection.

#219 Work Week PerfecShawn

I can't over state this enough. This has been a dream week in the office!

Okay, so today wasn't perfect, but it WAS still a good day. And tomorrow is Friday, so I can't really complain.  

Also I got a crap load of reports off my desk today, so yay me!

10 and a half work days until Vacation. It's a little premature to be coasting, but I can certainly say that I'm at the top of the hill and I'm easing off the gas pedal...

#216 Monday PerfecShawn

As God is my witness, today was the best Monday (at the office) EVER!

I said on more than one occasion today that, "I could take a Month of Mondays like today",  And that's the gospel truth.

And it wasn't just because Typhoid Mary was not there. 

And it wasn't just because it was the Civic Holiday in Ontario and the phones were a little less buty.

Okay it was BOTH of those things...   but also the "boss" wasn't a total jackass.

Today, was a good day.

#186 The $64,000 QuestShawn

Question:

What do you call a day where you sleep in, have a lovely walk in the Summer breeze, a lazy relaxing afternoon, a lovely barbecued meal, and a kick-ass cocktail?

Answer:

Today.

#036 EvaluaShawn

Today was a good day.

 

I had my annual evaluation with my direct Manager and his Manager. It was scheduled to go an hour, but we barely made it to 40 mins. And why? Because apparently I'm awesome! :-)

 

Okay, I'm not perfect, but I met or surpassed expectations in all categories but one and quite frankly it's because what was assigned was not possible, and he know it. :-)

 

I was told I'm too hard on myself and too much of a perfectionist. - I have to disagree...  you can never be too much of a perfectionist.

 

Given the recent changes in the office it's nice to hear such praise and on the record no less. I'm not so naïve as to think that I'm irreplaceable, or that I or the entire office won't be without a job in the days to come but why dwell on that? I'm freaking amazing!

 

And also, no word from Management if there will be raises or  bonuses, but I feel after today I'll think I'm going to be an optimist on the subject.

 

In the meantime I must continue to perfect my perfection.
