causes and effect

So, I am actually writing this on Sunday, September 6 rather than Wednesday.
I had a meeting with my boss this week, as I do every week. I actually quite enjoy these meetings. We discuss goals for the coming week and how I am coming along with the goals that I had set for the week before. Every two weeks he shows us each our percentage of on-time clock ins and percentage of time missed, that kind of information. So far, I have not missed any days, and stayed with a migraine, which got my mega brownie points. When we sat and discussed my numbers, it was revealed that I am late almost every day by one to two minutes coming back from lunch. Turns out, my phone and the work clock differ by two minutes. Kind of annoying by anyones standards. Also, after doing some calculations we came to the realization that some of the reason for such low numbers, is that in my first week I had a Drs appointment that I had to be at to discuss my need to eat foods besides chicken, because we all know how much I love the stuff. He did however say that working through my migraine gave him much confidence because not only did I stay, but I worked at the preferred speed (don't ask me how I managed that because I have no clue). However, my lack of on time punches brings it down a touch. We are shooting for two full pay periods of on-time punches. I have fixed my clock and hopefully that corrects the problem. I believe that the four remaining punches for the week were on time. We are looking towards getting me either a business partnership or another job all together sometime mid November. He said that with as much as I ma on task and accept whatever he throws at me and my willingness to work through whatever, if I get my on-time punches up he will feel confident giving a good recommendation, which makes me happy. I hope that I can continue to work to his standards so that I can use him as a reference.
