Getting into work last night, I was utterly exhausted. The first night back after a few days off is always a killer, specially since I had the previously week pretty much off to myself to boot.
Evaluations are always difficult. Not only is there the power situation, someone who believes they have authority hovering over you, there is also the realization of being thrown in front of a jury and being judged. With the lack of constant feedback, its hard to tell at any given moment where one stands in relation to the world.
I am NOT without fault.
It was a FLAWLESS evaluation, hands down. No deamons were surfaced, no pieces of the past to resurface only to be reexamnined and thought about by future scholars. The meeting was brief and a fair represenation of my skills as a nurse.
Interesting enough I learned more about the boss lady and where she is comming from in 30 minutes than the five years that I have been there. She also brought up an incident regarding two co-workers. Although no names were stated and it was kept pretty much in a big pool of grey, my gut feeling was the situation regarding S. and P. Although I understand both sides, S.'s actions were COMPLETELY uncalled for. Chewing a fellow co-worker out over a petty pissing contest in the wind wasn't well suited.
And I feel alot better that she knew about this (if indeed we were on the same page), as it has bothered me for quite sometime-specially since S disucssed it in a more rational tone of voice "again" last night.
This is what I needed. A level playing field, someone to tell myself that yes indeed your doing the "right" thing, "right now"....
