It's time to review your review

Welcome to the second quarter of 2006. It's time to dust off your year-end review to see what "developmental needs" your boss wanted you to address this year. It's also time to get going on whatever it is that you wanted/needed to accomplish before your mid-year performance review.

Hey, I get that it's still early, but I wanted to give you plenty of time to procrastinate and still be able to get things done on time!

So figure out what you need to be doing and let your boss catch you in the act of doing exactly that.

Your boss tends not to notice such things? Not to worry; just say something like this: "Hey boss, check this out - I'm doing exactly what you said I should do on last year's performance appraisal. Good for me, eh?!"
