Jeff wants to see you first thing...

John, please stop by my office before you begin your work today. {ifJob=1} I'd like to have a conversation about your performance lately, and what, if any, steps we can take to improve it. Thank you, Jeff.

{ifPast=1} You can't help a sudden wave of nervousness wash over you... What did you do this time? You begin to worry as you stand there waiting for the elevator...{endif}{ifPast=2} "This fucking prick..." You mutter under your breath... "Can't do a damn thing right for him" You do your best to control your breathing, even as you daydream about strangling the asshole in his own office...{endif}{endif}{ifJob=2} I'd like to take some time to review our upcoming meeting with our business partners. I know you understand how important this deal is for our firm, but there's no such thing as over-communication in a business like ours.{ifPast=1} You smirk a bit as you finish reading his note. Jeff always seems to take the time to pass on some knowledge wherever possible, you can't help but feel grateful for his tutelage...{endif}{ifPast=2} You nod your head as you finish reading his note, it's not like you need to be told such simple principles like this anymore, but you're grateful nonetheless for Jeff's tutelage, the man really knows his stuff...{endif}{endif}

The sudden dinging of the elevator arriving snaps you out of your thoughts, and you quickly step inside...

"Wait! Hold the door!" You suddenly hear someone yell...
