Appraisal

I had my appraisal today which, I think, went quite well. There were no
major gremlins and they seemed quite happy with what I have been doing.

I found it difficult - as I often do - to be assertive in relation to my own requirements. I still feel apprehensive about bringing up issues that may cause contention.

What I am going to do is discuss things again formally with my boss when I get a moment. I thought of a couple of extra things after the meeting that could have added to my tasks for the year. I also want to emphasise more explicitly that I need to see some form of career progression, particularly in relation to financial recompense.

Against that, I am quite happy at the moment. My position seems fairly
secure which in this climate is important and I don't feel under any
undue pressure or anxiety.
