'He'd be out of his depth on a wet pavement'

Federal Employee Performance Evaluations vol 1...
"Since my last report, this employee has reached rock bottom and has started to dig."
"His men would follow him anywhere but only out of morbid curiosity."
"This associate is really not so much a has-been, but more of a definitely won't be."
"Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap."
"When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change feet."
"He would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle."
"This young lady has delusions of adequacy."
"He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them."
"This employee should go far -- and the sooner he starts, the better we'll be."
"This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot."
Ah yes, I worked with many of these and evaluated quite a few myself :eek2:...BUT on the whole I have to avow that the Federal employee is very hard working and conscientious.Quote:

11. Takes him 1-1/2 hours to watch 60 Minutes.
12. Wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead.
13. A prime candidate for natural de-selection.

I posted this in a different thread, but it reminded me of what a great quote it was, from one of my favourite films of all time (the actor's not too shabby either :biggrin2:)

It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.
