Mel (& Paul) Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 As part of our company's "personal performance evaluation" (heaven help us - whoever thought of that title was obviously "thinking outside of the box" and "pushing the envelope" (and being paid too much money ) I have to think of five words that describe myself. I thought animalaholic chocoholic foodaholic workaholic alchoholic (not necessarily in that order) What five words would you use to describe yourself.

Looney Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I-am-what-I-am (technically only 3 words as two are repeated - is that allowed? ) I hate the 5 words to describe yourself activities at work - I'm always tempted to write something like: Mind Your Own Flipping Business although I don't think it would help my career prospects! A guy that left my work had to fill out an exit questionnaire and for the question "What 5 pieces of advice would you give someone taking the post?" He wrote "Wear clean pants on Monday, then ditto for Tuesday to Friday!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too! I remember several years ago a few of us were on a course where we were asked to do a whole battery of similarly mind-numbingly tedious things - so we decided to spice it up - we all chose words like.. miserable, suicidal, psychotic, depressed, angry, aroused.... (you get the picture) - and the coordinator didn't know quite how to respond... (of course, no I'm older and more mature, I wouldn't do that..........) if you were an animal - what would you be? what day of the week are you most like - and why? what colour do you feel today? aaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
