That's me!

We're in the process of setting up goals at work. One of them cascaded down from my boss' boss is to have everyone improve relationships with other departments that we wouldn't normally interact with. Aside from it not being a SMART goal (how do you measure a relationship?!), we have to find 3 people from departments outside of our own to review us. That's like asking the old man you see across the street all the time to rate your cooking. Sure we're aware of each other, but we're not close. Forcing someone to review you is not going to improve a relationship.

I told my boss that I didn't think having these people review us was indicative of how well we were doing our regular jobs. I told him that people in our own department would be better candidates for performing the 360' reviews, and he agreed with him. So...he is going to talk to his boss about having 2 people outside our department to review us (woo! One less!) but having 2 people in our department review us (boo...two more).

It went from 3 to 4 to review us...and the two new people reviewing us have nothing to do with the original goal which was to improve relationships with *other* groups. Did I shoot myself in the foot?

Also, my boss called me an extrovert. BWAHAHAHA AHHAHAA I guess I can come across that way electronically...but I am most definitely not an extrovert. He said he had no doubt I would fulfill that goal with flying colours.

I also found the secret to keeping rice krispie treats nice and fresh! I used to just keep them in the dish and cover it with saran wrap. But wrapping the whole treat in saran wrap and then putting it in a ziploc bag keeps their freshness a lot longer!
