Day 65 - PxUxM=P

Before the Temple in Ruins 66 - 6/29

I had a 3 hour meeting at work to go over Performance Management…

Pace x Utilization x Methods = Performance

If I haven’t mentioned before we get a bonus, and there are 3 levels of this bonus…bronze (100-109) silver (110 to 119) and gold (120 and above)…there was little reason for me to watch this presentation as the first month I was there I figure out how to get gold, a feat rare among new hires…

There’s a whole bunch of bullshit that goes into figuring out the scores we get each day and then they are averaged out monthly to determine our bonus…they’re called elements…(i thought this was hilarious) they just took the definition of a compound and made it “industrial”

Engineers apparently walk around and take meticulous notes of everything we do so they can create these elements that make up our job…

so I’ve decided to break down my blogging and art making process into “elements” and determine my productivity for the day

There are common elements (happening all the time) and uncommon elements (rarely occurring)

Common Elements (not exactly in order)

Unlock the door

Walk in, toss keys, remove shorts

Walk into bedroom, Hug awake a sleeping Becky…dote upon her with a bunch of kissing and things that would make normal couples barf…

Wash hands (this may occur before hugging becky, if she’s lucky)

Start up Doctor Who

Open Tumblr

Type (80 words per minute-ish)

Scan Artwork

Eat chips…

Procrastinate

Watch Doctor Who

Lose Interest in blog

Masterbate

Uncommon Elements

Drink a Beer

…hmmm

Cut Mats and fail…

Yeah it turns out I’m extremely unproductive…mostly just sitting around in my underwear
