yesterday i was involved in a meeting with my immediate supervisor and one of her supervisors, where i was told that, while my total number of cases was just fine and within the range needed for promotion, it was higher than they would like for a "solid" recommendation for promotion.  i was also told that while i average 70 days to dispose of a case, and the acceptable range is 45-77 for consideration for promotion, my number was a little too high for consideration.  i was also told that i needed to dispose of 15 cases a week for the next three weeks, and while that was doable based on my history, it also wasn't something that was likely based on my history.  i was also told that my time sheet was going to be reviewed to make sure i was here when i said i was here. 

today, my supervisor just walked into my cube and handed me a certificate just like so many that i've received before.  it says "For an Excellent contribution to This week's success as an Agency By producing 15 cases". 

i guess i'm good enough to get the right numbers, get a certificate for getting those numbers, and then get told that my numbers aren't "solid" enough for promotion.

it's good that the final review for promotion isn't until march 27th.  i'm sure i'll fuck things up between now and then.  at least enough to get denied promotion again, but not enough to get me fired, written up, or placed on corrective action.
