Still evaluating…

This is the third post involving evaluating. Sorry, it was a big part of my role at IC. This one should be a bit shorter.

So about 5.00 I got an email with round 2 assignment. They way they do it is get an evaluator to make a whole step of the top x number of booklets in the division so they get another whole evaluation. I was given step 1 juniors, which is probably one of the longer steps. I think there were 17 booklets for me to mark. They were due at 10pm. I was hoping to make it to the CmPS fair, but time wasn’t looking like my friend and unfortunately I didn’t make it.

I got through 1 and bit booklets, trying to be a bit nicer as they were Juniors and then it was 6 and time for dinner. I realised that I’m really going to have to pick these up if I want to get them done. So I got dinner and ate and as I marked trying to race. I got it down to about 10 – 15 minutes a booklet which was tight but should let me finish in time. I was very tired by this point, but got into a rhythm working quickly and got them finished around 10. By the time I was done I got my second wind and wasn’t especially tired anymore.

I went down and chatted to Emily and ran into Dylan on the way and we got some data entry jobs. First, we stopped into Brenda & Cyd’s (other / retired ADs) who always do a big cook up for people staying in North. I had completely forgotten and foolishly eaten dinner – there was SO MUCH food. Next time I’ll definitely skip dinner and plan to spend more time there to hang out with others.

So Dylan and I did our data entry, then he had to go off. I did a bit more data entry, then Emily didn’t have any more jobs and I decided sleep was overdue. So Evaluation (for me done) and after having about 3.5 hours sleep since Thursday morning at 11.30pm, Friday night I went to be. And that’s it for evaluation. It was a new experience and fun albeit a lot of work. Not a lot of sleep, but that’s manageable for one night.
