Everyone hates the annual/quarterly review process, but this makes it easier:

In your note-taking app of choice, make a template for your daily work. Create an entry every day for the work you did. Include emails where people thanked you or praised your work. Track tickets, blockers and decisions. Write an impact statement every day (or most days) that highlights your impact on the organization. Even small things. Just take 5 minutes a day and write it down.

At review time, feed all of those daily pages into AI and have it answer your review questions. Definitely read the output and make edits, but you’d be amazed at the things you forgot you worked on 6+ months ago that are huge wins in your review.

No guarantees it gets you a raise, but it definitely reduces the stress of answering the questions, digging through emails and trying to figure out what you worked on.

I work in an M365 environment, so I have Power Automate make my OneNote daily notes page every day before work, and a reminder at the end of the day to update my notes. Then I use Copilot to generate my answers for the review. (Copilot is trash, but it is integrated with my tools)

My last review went great and took about 10% of the time to fill out, and I was able to remind my management about a big win/impact that happened months earlier that might have been forgotten otherwise.

I fucking DESPISE annual corporate self-review and goal setting. My goal is to get a paycheck every couple weeks

@HobbyBroadcastr I’ve been getting “Forbidden” trying to go to your website for a long time now. Still going on. Multiple browsers/machines/networks.

@deseretistan DM the link, please.

@harmlesshamCQ I’m excited for this news. I haven’t been able to find VHF/UHF yagis that are actually tuned/broadband enough for the US FM portions of the bands.Kay of the ones on DXEngineering are fine for SSB and CW on the lower portions.

This needs to happen @Astro_Jenni

I have no idea what I'm going to watch once they splash down. I have really enjoyed watching the entire mission.

How it feels having NASA's Artemis II Live Coverage on 24/7. My favorite show rn.

@DumbEinstein @TimOnPoint Link goes to the specific part of the video about data rates…

[Heath @jhtech3]

@DumbEinstein @TimOnPoint The bandwidth is great considering the distances involved. It’s just a TON of data. Mission/science data is prioritized over public streaming. The mission update today addressed data rates.

“Why is it so hard to land again” is only a question if you ignore how Apollo actually worked. We did not lose the ability. We stopped funding the program. Apollo was a massive national project with 400,000 people, a blank check budget, and a Cold War deadline. When the political goal was met, the money and workforce were redirected.

Modern missions are not trying to repeat Apollo. They are trying to build sustainable systems, reusable landers, long duration habitats, and deep space infrastructure. That is a much harder engineering problem than a short term flags and footprints mission.

If we wanted another Apollo style landing, we could brute force it the same way we did in the 60s. The challenge today is not “we forgot how.” It is that we are building something bigger, safer, and meant to last. The difficulty is a sign of ambition, not evidence of a hoax.

@mwfoutch1 Neon signs? Or the fluorescent lights in the sign? I’ve seen similar around here.

Scott Adams was so ahead of his time. Impossible not to miss him dearly right now:

@mwfoutch1 They aren’t wrong.

@TheRealBam_3 Roll Damn Tide.

[Heath @jhtech3]

@Joemantler @SandyofCthulhu Fob was at least funny.

[Heath @jhtech3]

@HLC_actual They do not want to touch our boats. That is a very bad idea.

[Heath @jhtech3]

Yes, please!

There should IMMEDIATELY be a way to make sure that the For You page isn't serving you content older than 6 hours. The whole point of X is to be up to date on "What's Happening Now."

@simpsonWVTM13 Good call, Jason. Let’s talk about that one about Thursday next week. No need for another 5-7 days of social media model watching!
