As my “alleged” performance review draws near I find myself with a heightened sense of anxiety.  Most people have at least one skeleton in their closet that they half fear the boss will call them on.  I have 100+.  The past 21 months with “Four Eyes” hasn’t always been the easiest, smoothest or most fulfilling. It is hard to give a shit about anything when you are forever in the shadow of the boss’s pet.  The constant comparison erodes the little positive self esteem I have left. 

I use the term "alleged" because in my 21 months of suffering I have yet to have had one.  The 'bias' can't seem to get his shit togetehr long enough to focus and get it done.  My first review was supposed to be in April 2012.  My second in March 2013.
