Me: “Do I do my job well? Do I exceed expectations? Or do I just meet expectations?”
Caroline: “Kim.”
Me: “Caroline.”
Caroline: “The only way you could exceed expectations is if you danced ALL DAY. That’s what they’re looking for here. They don’t tell you, but I know the secret.”
Me: “Oh, I see. So I meet expectations?”
Caroline: “Unless you’re dancing while filling this out.”
Me: “Because I dance part of the day, but not all of it.”
Caroline: “Ah. Yeah, meets. Sorry.”
Me: ” Would I be somewhere in between?”
Caroline: “Maybe ‘almost exceeds?’”
Me: “I see.”
Caroline: “Maybe ‘tries to exceed?’”
Me: “Yeah.”
Caroline: “‘Tries her darndest.’”
Me: “So I’ll put “I try my darndest to exceed expectations, but I’m unsuccessful because I do not dance all day.’”
Caroline: “Yes!”
Me: “Ok, thanks for your help. I know what to put now.”
