review

thursday 5:12 pm:
receive email about end of year review appointment with boss on monday afternoon. 4:00 pm - 4:30pm.

friday-sunday:
forget about end of year review appointment.

monday 9:30 am:
remember appointment with boss. wonder if you will get a raise.

monday 12:30 pm:
realize your appointment is at the end of the day. could you be getting fired? why else would you be getting your review so late in the day?

monday 3:45 pm:
rationalize that if you were getting fired, they wouldn't do your review on a monday. you would have it at the end of the week. why would they have you come work for just one day in the week?

monday 4:00 pm:
enter boss's office, recieve raise. breath sigh of relief.
