Employee Evaluation

This afternoon I filled out my self evaluation for work. It's a bizarre situation to be in, because of the competing desires to not be arrogant, and yet knowing that if I give them any excuse to give me less than a perfect score, I won't get all of my tiny, tiny, tiny possible raise. Performance evaluations, especially if you work in a traditional corporation (it's not exactly a traditional corporate environment, but it's a lot closer than if I worked in a restaurant or a small-time retail situation like where Beanz works). It's also hard to think of goals for a job that I've been over-qualified for since before I was hired. "Don't say 'Get a better job'..."
Although it does feel good to describe myself, when I actually am proud about how hard I work, and to realize that I really am trying to make the most out of my job, trying to learn about the industry as much as I can, stuck up in the basement or between the walls or in the attic, depending on how you mangle the "foot in the door" metaphor. I'm sometimes embarrassed about how much harder I work than I should have to, but I still am happy about how much I've made the best of my situation.
