I'm a three not a five

Just a brief introduction to my blog....I admit that I am a three not a five. What does this mean? Simple. I can related it best to those performance evaluations you get at your job. Most of the time the eval's rate you on a scale of 1 to 5 with the following meanings
1: Does not meet expectations
2: Minimally meets expectations
3: Meets expectations
4: Above expectations
5: Consistently exceeds expectation

or in layman's terms

1: You suck
2: You sometimes suck
3: Coasting by
4: You rock
5: You suck...AKA You lips are major fixture on most people's rear ends... AKA DDS (Develop, Deploy, Suck up) syndrome. Yep that's what DDS means

Here's the thing. Does your company or any company that you know of actually give out a 5? I bet its hard pressed to find someone who is given a 5. But what above those of you who bust your ass trying to please everyone, meet your deadlines, and be a happy team player? Did you get a 5 on your eval? Doubtful right. You probably put forth tons of effort working after hours and not claiming the overtime but still you are rated a 3. Why you ask? The usual response is so that you have something to strive for and they can put this as a goal in your eval. Screw that, you HAVE been striving for that stupid asshat. I don't need goals I need a fricking raise and some recognition. But still you have your three and thankful you even have that in this economy right? So I say if you are rated a three start acting like a three. If your rating doesn't reflect the four or five that you are, you have my permission be a three not a five. Show them what a three looks like. Meet every single one of your expectations but don't you dare exceed it. So in short that is how I choose to live in most aspects of my life. I simply live to meet expectations, due the bare minimum, and to coast through life. So I hope you enjoy the blog. I truly hope I meet your expectations. If I start to exceed them, please let me know. After all I'm only a three.

p.s. My spelling and grammar suck because I'm a three not a five. Deal with it
