TGIF.... Mid point August Already...

[PICK3]

Speaking of mid-point ... there's a concept in Industrial Psychology known as "the halo effect".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect

The halo effect refers to a cognitive bias whereby the perception of a particular trait is influenced by the perception of the former traits in a sequence of interpretations.

Loosely translated it means "what have you done for me lately?"

As a career slacker I've mastered this concept.

So in the context of annual job appraisals, I slack the majority of the year, then a few months before appraisal time I kick butt. The boss is more likely to remember the most recent efforts when he writes the appraisal, and I come out smelling like a rose

Very interesting Pick, such a great concept that I was not familiar with, IPod example is so true, one small thing that may help your appraisal is if you could get him to do the smallest of favors for you... this is in accord with your overall approach, he will have to be consistent with his actions... and think well I must really like him if I'm doing this for him, and can only help your review... I am the supreme slacker at work, and its okay cause managers are a laid back mo, and an ex college professor older lady... both have caught me fucking around on EF and just gave me tiny admonishments... I just wished I had this situation the rest of my life with peeps I have to answer too.

I haven't worked out in nearly 5 weeks... can't really tell in my avi, but I'm getting soft... gotta renew the motivation to not slob out and continue this time off. I agree, its hard to come back when you form the habit of thinking oh well, fuck it.
