I just had my appraisal today. It sucked and it just serves to prove that my feelings about my Boss are right all along — she clearly does not like me. Sometimes I really miss Kathy, who is direct and well, she tends to forget your faults after awhile.

So I sat in the meeting room today with Dom and her. She asked how I thought my progress was.

I thought I gave a very PR answer by saying that I think my progress is slower than I would like and yet, there is nothing much I can do about it due to external factors.

So she asked how can I improve on it. So I said unless I know the root cause, then I can improve on it right.

So she started listing. I agree with some of them, such as:

1. I am very kancheong (I thought I have toned down a bit and am more laidback these days).

2. I have to pause and think before submitting my paper, instead of rushing through it without not thinking much (this I totally agree).

However, there is one statement which I partially do not agree with, and that is:

I am blunt and have NO EQ. 

What the hell. I know I am blunt and direct (and I do know people who appreciate me for that), but to say I have no EQ? Even my boyfriend thinks my best asset is EQ! But well, since she thinks so, the only reason/consolation I can come up with is that I do not get along with her and possess no chemistry whatsoever with her.

Thats why when Beebs and Juicy told me last Friday that it is very important to toot my horn and profile myself more often, I was hesitant. That’s cos I know you should toot your horn at people who like you, not people who are intimidated of the way you look (ie my eyes). I am so irritated at that btw.

But yes, later on I said, I am really blunt ar?

Then she gave a resounding YEAH. but later on she softened her tone abit and said its the way I speak over the phone etc. I can accept the fact that maybe I do not sound professional enough over the phone, but hello, these are car dealers that I am talking to! Nonetheless, I felt she was rather patronising. She gave me 3/3, and thats mostly my effort! *guffaws*

What the hell. Now I really appreciate bosses like Kathy and JLo.
