Monthly Appraisal Time

I had a monthly appraisal today at work.

Boss always asks me what rating I think I deserve. I always say “run-of-the-mill-average-every-gets-this-middle-rating”. I did know that my confidence has been higher lately as a result of my own coaching but didn’t have the confidence to say I deserved the higher rating.

Boss gave me a higher than average rating. I’ve worked with Boss now for over 9 years and this is only the 2nd time he’s given me anything other than run-of-the-mill-average-every-gets-this-middle-rating. The other time it was a less than average rating.

So I came home from work today, completed elated. What a confidence boost.


I think I should sing my own praises more.
