Remember, I stand watch well into the night. I was told the squirrels had retired, but I was still there! |
I was called into the boss's office this morning. It was time for my probationary review. After spending quite a bit of time Arooooing and dashing into the backyard scaring squirrels, I was not happy with my evaluation. What do you think? Here it is:

I, Cinnamon, do an exemplary job. I watch the back yard well into the night. I scare the squirrels frequently. In order to do my job better, I need the following:
- Guard Shack to protect me from the elements
- iPad - so that I can continue blogging when I am on duty
- Travel Bed - to be placed in the Guard Shack for when I doze off due to exhaustion or have to get up too early.

This Guard Shack might work for me, Cinnamon. |

Good Employee Comments, Cinnamon. Well done.
ReplyDeleteCinnamon, Methinks your comments are quite valid! Keep up the good work, girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteDid she also have to do her own evaluation before her formal review. BTW, how's the new bed holding up?
ReplyDeleteSince this was a probationary review, she didn't have to provide written input. She knew where she was needing improvement. Whether she cares to do anything about it... only time will tell. She's loving the bed. That is part of the work problem! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're getting pretty pushy Cinnamon. An air conditioned guard shack? C'mon now! But I guess with all the running after squirrels, air conditioning would cut down on the amount of perfume you would need. Yeah, you're doing O.K, Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteDear Gram: Cinnamon says: "I'll need A/C in the summer for sure!"
