Personal Eating Habits - 22 Tuesday

Talk about your personal eating habits.

Some people I know need to eat a hearty meal for breakfast to get through the day, but I'm the opposite. I get indigestion when I eat in the morning, so I usually make do with fruit or yogurt. Eating lightly for breakfast is second nature to me, because I've been this way since I was a student. I usually eat lunch at the company cafeteria at work. The menu changes daily on a rotating basis, so I never have to worry myself over what to eat. After lunch, I take a cat-nap for about 10 minutes in my office. The short nap helps to perk me up. Unless I have a dinner appointment, I try to eat dinner at home no matter what. I steer clear of rice or noodles. Eating carbs at night makes me gain belly fat, so I try to avoid it. I also try to keep sodium levels in check by abstaining from salty foods.

Performance Review - 21 Monday

Talk about how job performance is evaluated. Most companies regularly have performance reviews. They evaluate their employees' job performance on quantitative and qualitative bases. Each individual's performance is placed under the microscope. The performance of the team or business department that the person in a part of also enters into the equation. Individual evaluations reflect attendance records, personal accomplishments, and evaluations by immediate superiors. These days, peer reviews are held sometimes, too. Language test scores and certifications sometimes count for extra credit. The next year's performance-based bonus and pay raise are determined by the rating. A high-performance rating leads to a bonus, raising self-esteem and a gung-ho attitude toward work. However, a low rating can be disappointing and impose a mental burden. This is why employees are on the edge during performance review season.
