ANNUAL PURR-FUR-MANCE REVIEW

Maggy here ~ I'm the CEO (Cat Executive Officer) of Zoolatry, Inc., and my partner in crime is Zoey, our COO (Cat Operating Officer).  We've run Zoolatry since early 2007 and feel it's time to review the purr-fur-mance of the ZH who serves as our artist, our imagination, our typist and sometimes (tho not often enough) cleans our litter boxes.

My opinion is that her QUANTITY OF OUTPUT is Two Paws ~ as we've noted 1,828 postings to our site.

QUALITY OF OUTPUT is Four Paws ~ as rated by COO, Zoey, because I like all my silly pictures no matter what they look like!  On the other paw, I, Maggy, CEO, find most of my pictures embarrassing, unflattering and far more fictional-than-factual.  

Moving on to CLIENT PAWTICIPATION, the ZH noted that according to statistics (which she does not believe in) we have had 30,323 visitors and 24,627 comments on Zoolatry.  We humbly ask if that includes spam?  Two Swats here furriends.  We might make green papers for all this work if we could up those numbers...  P.S. from Zoey: she really falls way low, I mean off the charts furriends, when it comes to visiting with many of you.  This is most disturbing to me and Mags as when we do stop by we see amazing photographs, humorous and witty writing, and just lots and lots of fantastic stuff on your blogs.  Management is demanding immediate attention to this issue and improvement is mandatory.  And that includes all the wonderful woofies we know.

As for CLIENT SATISFACTION, I, Zoey, am noting that the ZH has often received high marks from clients (a/k/a: other bloggers) for whom we do photo-art, in fact her files are now bulging with over 5,000 new headers, birthday pictures, gotcha pictures, sidebar tags for special events, remembering pictures and much, much more.  Although most days she is at the computer for 8-10 hours doing photo-art creation for many of you, I would be remiss if I did not remind her that there are 24-hours available each day that could be devoted to us... all of us.  Perhaps this requires One Swat and One Paws Up.  What do you think?

OVERALL RATING.  If you're not yet ready to click over to another blog, please scroll down for our final comments and recommendations for and about this employee.  Thank you for visiting today, Maggy & Zoey.


Our OVERALL RATING is general in nature, and shall be anonymous ~ as neither of us wish to put at risk the daily Temptations and Party Mix treats. At this time, the CEO and COO have decided to retain this employee and will not consider her for furlough or layoff.  She does need to make more effort to maintain the high standards of this company, and until that goal is met, we do not recommend a pay grade increase.  She may also want to consider waiving any purrsonal or vacation time to which she may think she is entitled, as doing so would be a strong signal to management of her desire to improve her purr-fur-mance. 
Our expectations: Serve our needs and wants at all times.

THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER

MEMO TO: All Cat and Dog Bloggers: 
Slave, opposable thumb, food person, biped, office assisant or typist: whatever
you may call that fur-less, two-legged creature who lives with you,
we'd like to remind you it is now time for their Annual Purr-Fur-Mance Review. 
Last year brought about a fair amount of hissing and whining, meowing and wooing,
all because our furry furriends never got a chance to "review" their humans blog purr-fur-mance for the year!  Yeah, yeah, Maggy and I heard the ZH say over and over again,
"girls, we just don't have time".  (yeah, that'll impact her review fursure)
Well, one would think she would make time.  After all, don't these "humans" know that any salary increase, bonuses, awards, 401KAT contributions ~ well, they're all purr-fur-manced based. 
Now, of course, that does not include all you senior kitties out there (sorry),
you all know that social secatity payments have been frozen for two-years (sorry again). 
You're still encouraged to complete a review and
everyone is asked to post their reviews on the same date ~ Friday, February 18, 2011,
and be sure to include a link to your review on the Cat Blogosphere.  
Below, many of our friends recently held an office meeting to discuss upcoming reviews,
so join in, it's fun and we'll get a chance to know the truth-and-lies or
the good-the bad-and-the ugly, about those humans behind the scenes... 
Here is a suggested review form as prepared by our Human Resources Department
(properly called Purrsonel).  Yes, this document is cat-oriented, we humby suggest all the woos
paraphrase as need be.  Also, as this review form is somewhat generic in nature,
feel free to add your own cat-egories for review.  One lowly human (speaking anonymously)
wanted to remind the furry ones that bad reviews could result in a lesser amount of
treats, Temptations, outside travel, etc., so do
be cognizant of the risks when completing your review.
Feel free to copy the review form for your reference if needed; just right click and save.
You know, Purrsonel people tend to get a bit detail-oriented, so below are three sidebar tags.
You can right click & save on the large, medium or small, as best fits your blog.
These tags show you are participating in the review process and will alert your readers
and viewers to visit and read the review on 2.18.2011.


And finally, we will send periodic reminders out to ensure none furget to complete
and post their review on February 18, 2011.
Is it paws up?  Or tails down?
