Self Evaluation

I have a self evaluation that I need to complete. Not that it really matters because I'm sure it's all BS anyway but it's really bothering me. I have literally stared at this paper for half an hour and have nothing to write still. You have to rate you communication skills, business expertise. strategies thinking, operation excellence and emotional intelligence. They all have a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being fails to meet expectations and 5 being consistently exceeds expectations. I think I am a solid 4 (consistently meets and often exceeds expectations) in every category. Even though I think a rating should be enough management has encouraged me to write a comment for every category because "it will make for a better discussion". I am not looking forward to this discussion. What will I say? I think it will go something like this, I pretty much just answer the phone, I do all the billing but with it being so slow around here there's not much to bill and once I'm done with that I pretty much surf the internet all day and try to pretend to look busy. I love my job and for the most part I like everyone I work with but it's not very challenging. Don't get me wrong I would love to stay busy all day but when I have asked for more responsibility in the past I have been told we'll teach you how to do this or that and it never happens. I not much for learning through online classes, I tried but I get distracted with the phone ringing and much unlike everyone else in the building I don't have the luxury of not answering a call if I'm in the middle of something. I asked the greeter for an example of what one of her comments was and that conversation was less than inspiring. She totally missed the mark and threw in random facts that didn't even pertain to the topic. But who am I to judge, at least she has hers done. Maybe I'll put it off for a couple of weeks, after all it's not due until the end of May. Although that's not really my style, neither is making things up. I'm over thinking this, I don't think anyone else is having this much trouble. Whatever. Well that's it for now... Back to staring at that blank piece of paper.
