UConn losing to ND is always a bad day.
Also had my performance review. Boss tells me my rating was a surprise to him, not what he argued for in the "callibration" meetings. I got a 3 - which means I am doing what is expected - but not the 2 that he expected and felt I deserved. I will still get a pay increase, and will get a bonus. But the difference between a 2 and a 3 is about $5,000 in bonus money. That hurts.
Of the two, the performance rating is obviously the most personally painful to me. But the loss to ND is a pretty darn close second.
On edit: I should be pretty darn grateful I have a job considering the number of jobs lost to restructuring and outsourcing. I don't mean to sound greedy. Truth be told, I would have rather had the 2 even if there was no extra compensation at stake. It is a pride thing.
