Ian has the potential to be a valuable member of our team. His knowledge of his department's niche in our company is unsurpassed. As he grows in his ability to work within Company Name's guidelines, he will grow as an asset to his team.
reader, do you want a new job? I think you could really help me out with this.

edit: I should point out that working here is often more annoying than working with 3rd graders.

I used to work in an alcoholism treatment center. I was the entire financial department. The executive director had a social work degree, and she hired as secretaries people who needed fixing rather than people who were competent. Notice she wasn't an English major either. All I had was some college credits and my high school diploma, but I wrote all of the evaluations except my own: counselors, house mothers, maintenance, secretary, program manager. I'd write them, and then she'd add something or change a word. Did that for seven years. Now it kills me to write one sentence on a report card!

I think someone should write some software to do this. You just fill in the names, check some boxes, and it generates the review.

What is even more difficult is that these folks all think I'm a great manager, particularly *because* I despise these stupid tasks. I never make them write pointless status reports. I am the anti-red-tape manager. Here I am being strangled by the red tape.

Not Joe, Jim.

I don't know if I want to do Ian next. Too much stress doing the negative ones.

I want to finish at least one more before going home today.

So, please ban me for the afternoon - removing one option for procrastinating. What word do I have to type to get a 5 hour ban?
Have you tried using words such as 'dildo', 'booty', 'boobs', 'blowing', 'cherry' all in one sentence describing one context?

Not yet. I was hoping they would just ban me because I asked.

If I have to actually earn the ban, I will have to choose my words carefully so as to not get an overly long one.

Try posting a link to a site about the etymology of the f-word.

How did a ban did you get for that one? It was more than a weekend, right?

OK - I have selected the person to review next. When I finish this one I can go home.

Did I mention how much I hate this?

It was meant to be three days, but we were let off early, I think after two days.

Do they tell you when you're banned, or is it true that you just try to post and find you can't?
