Back and Forth
How long did it take?
How long was it supposed to take?
Not long.
It took longer than that.
I see.
Is that a bad thing?
I suppose, however, I can’t guarantee that that will not be held against you
when under review.
So, then it’s a bad thing?
Possibly.
I see.
But you will have the ability to submit documentation in support of yourself.
Well, that’s good.
Though that is rarely taken into consideration.
That’s bad.
Well only because it is a general waste of time, but most bureaucratic things are.
So, is there any hope for me?
There is always hope.
Really?
Well hope has never needed to be based within reality.
I see.
Don’t be down. You can always submit recommendations; those are taken far
more seriously than arguments you make on your own.
Really?
Yes.
The only thing is, I’m still pretty new, I’m not sure anyone will want to give
a recommendation.
I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone.
I do hope so, because if not, I am at a lack to think what else can be done for me.
Oh, you make too much of one slow job.
Do I?
Indeed.
Still, I can’t help myself.
Just allow your anxiety to be your own. The evaluators are not so easily swayed.
The outcomes of your jobs will also be assessed to decide if the product was good,
even if maybe the execution wasn’t.
Is that so?
It is. Time can be worked on, but quality is rare.
I suppose that is reassuring.
Just relax, your evaluation will be over soon, and you won’t have to wait long
thereafter to discover your score. I’m sure you’ll do fine.
It’s kind of you to say so.
Not at all. These things usually aren’t as bad as we think.
I am so pleased to hear that. I feel more at ease.
Good, now go and rest so I can finish my summation and submit.
Of course, yes, I will. Thanks again.
Not a problem at all.
Verdict of the Probation Board.
