Fear, uncertainty and drool

flexagonBah. Well, I've done my duty and spread the word among women and among the rantfree childfree. Click somewhere if you want the details on the Essure procedure--the same text on that is in both posts. But actually, I'm getting bored with this topic. Wish I'd stop doing unusual things that I feel duty-bound to tell people about because the lack of available information out there offends me... especially totally anticlimactic things that I get done and then have to stay on the pill for 3 months after. :)
I have a "feedback meeting" with my boss today for the first time, the purpose being for me to "calibrate myself against how others are viewing my contributions so far" as well as work on things that may need strengthening. My hapless coworker also has one, and he was completely convinced he was finally getting fired until I told him I had one scheduled too. God, I wish his fear would stop bleeding into my head. I'm sure that over the course of 2 months I haven't done everything perfectly, but I've worked reasonably hard, tried to fit into the culture, haven't made any major mistakes or slipped a schedule. I think I've said two things in a slightly harsh way. Surely this won't be too bad. However, I have no reply to my own nervous thought that it's never the things I know about that I get negative feedback for.
Anyway, off to what should at least be my final shower on company property. The bathroom's so close to done now it makes me drool... not even so much for the chance to take a shower at home either. The chance to clean dust off the rest of the house, and get the toothpaste, etc, off the kitchen counter, and mop, and get all these boxes and random bits of bathroom furniture out of my living rooms... that sets off the salivary glands.
