Working on performance self-evaluations for the day job, one of my least favorite things. They're due tomorrow, so I'll be working on mine tonight after KO. If I'm good and finish quickly, I can play with the GIDEON outline.

Had a two-day course in career/performance coaching last week. For anyone else who's done these things at work, my overall style is Energizer/Amiable/Mediator, which means I'm good with people, but not much of a driver for results. Myers-Briggs came up, of course, and the trainer recommended a Personal Style Inventory test, which measures the shape of your preferred personality. I bought one, just because you can never take too many personality tests. Actually, I bought 5, because that's the smallest set available. Anyway, if I have time this weekend, I'll sit down with it and see what it tells me. My M-B seems to fluctuate--the I is set in stone, but everything else can vary. Maybe this will, too.

Altoids offers dark chocolate coated cinnamon and peppermint pieces. Just thought I'd share. The peppermint are pretty good.
