I had my yearly performance review at work today. Basically I did really well for the first half of the year, then didn't bother turning up for second half of the year.

It's ok though, my manager was quite understanding. He told his boss that it's because I'm still young and long term sickness within the department hadn't helped the situation.

My manager says that by changing absolutely nothing he believes I'll excel next year because I'm one year older.

Happy days.
