how to spot an fps-er
Cross-posted as per icklefickle's request.
I've been pondering FPS over the last couple of days after mentioning it in a class, after not even having it cross my mind for months. I miss it! I was feeling inspired the other day, so--
1) The sentence "we thought the fuzzy was okay, but when we got our evals back, our KVP wasn't the strongest part of the UP, we forgot the parameters, had stock criteria, and got low focus and adequacy points!" makes complete sense to you.
2) You cringe with the first notes of "We are the Children."
3) Two hours seems like a very, very short time to you.
4) You could recite the category list in your sleep.
5) You've ever tried to abuse the "you can finish the sentence you're working on rule" as you turn your Action Plan scrawlings into an enormous run-on.
6) You've ever walked around in a trashbag robe with a headdress made of tinfoil, newspaper, and a spoon (and not felt out of place!).
7) You have nearly squeezed the hand off a teammate or bitten your nails off waiting through the suspense of an Awards Ceremony.
8) You have a collection of cheap merchandise with the names of random towns printed on it f floating around left over from swaps.
9) You have Aussie and/or Kiwi friends.
And the one I'm sure everyone has in common....
10) You've ever been frustrated whilst trying to explain what FPS is to someone else.
I'm sure there are better ones, but. Praise my wee creativity flourish.
