flying to San Francisco

[sergebroom]

I'll be flying to San Francisco on Sunday and will spend the whole week there. Why am I going? It's time for my yearly review. I had hoped that I'd get it at the beginning of the week, but my manager said it'd happen near the end. I am a bit nervous about the whole thing. My immediate superior within the group has been very supportive and was in charge of writing the actual review, but my manager can be expected to have some input on the final contents. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised, but I have arranged to meet with a friend to cheer myself up, should the whole affair turn out to be too much like this:

I am also thinking of going to see Milk at the Castro Theater one evening, but that's about it, as far as firm plans are concerned.

Good luck. May it result in a substantial increase in salary.

Thanks. An increase in respect from upper management would be even nicer.

No doubt, but nothing says respect better than gold and silver.

On the other hand, metallic respect makes a person more expensive and more likely to be replaced by starving programmers.

Courage!

I hope it turns out well!

Thanks! My fingers are crossed.

"Don't worry, son, you'll do just fine."

Thanks. And I know that I know that line, but not what it's from. Hmmm. "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade"?

I can quote from some movies, but that one's more likely from my father.

Good luck!

(If it's too late to wish you good luck with the review, then good luck for whatever the next thing to come along is.)

Thanks. The suspense will apparently last until Thursday.
