The time has come for K.Lo's 2-year performance review.

Overall, we are quite pleased with the employee's performance, but of course there is always room for improvement. Over the next quarter, Management would love to see even more strides with:

-The Night Shift. K.Lo has graduated in the past year from a crib to a bed, and has been known to sail through the entire shift without interruption or requests for Managerial Assistance. We know she can do it. Very recently, perhaps as she has become even more comfortable with her position in the company, K.Lo has begun to wander the building corriders in the early part of the Night Shift, which of course is not acceptable. Our hopes for a turnaround on this behavior (literally and figuratively) remain high.
-Shorter and/or less frequent trips to the Twoville Offices. Clearly, if the employee is summoned, she must go, it is out of our hands, but again, we remain optimistic that K.Lo will stick around our own Lo. Co. office for longer and longer stretches, and finally bid Twoville adieu.


Management is particularly impressed with:
-K.Lo's efforts toward a harmonious working relationship with The New Guy. She talks to N.Lo, asks him, "How are you doing?" and frequently visits N.Lo at his desk with offers to share supplies. She also inquires, "Why are you sad?" when he is crying over his work (inevitable, with new employees) and remains generous with hugs.
-Spontaneous, unsolicited hugs for Management and the recent appearance of the All-Teeth, Crinkly-Nosed Smile.
-K.Lo's working relationship with The Canine Staff, who have recently begun to take direction from K.Lo, heeding her commands to "move" or "go," and responding when she announces that the CEO has returned to the office.
-Improvements with Housekeeping Staff issues, mainly a fear of the office vacuum cleaner. K.Lo points out the vacuum often (while it is not being used), and says, "All done." Apparently, she still fears the beast, but simple commentary on the thing is much preferred over running and screaming at the mere mention of "vacuums."
-Sense of adventure and persistence with food choices, such as a deviled egg, which the employee was determined to eat, onions, relish, funky texture, and all. She paused several times with her eyes closed, and then pressed on.
-The New Oink. K.Lo learned long ago through training materials and exercises that a pig says, "Oink." Now, though, she is attempting the actual noise.

(Listen close.)

K.Lo, we must say, you are a pleasure to have around.
