Valentine’s Day Memo
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and some of you may have
difficulty in composing a properly passionate Valentine’s Day
Greeting to your sweet-patootie. Here is a suggested form:
Date: (enter appropriate date here like February 14 or 13)
To: (enter appropriate name here
CAUTION: don’t put more than one per memo, and be careful to send to correct person)From: (enter your name or pet-name
CAUTION: use the right pet-name…)Subject: Valentine
It has been brought to my attention that I would be remiss in my duties were I not to comment upon your performance as Executive Valentine. Your performance in this capacity during the past fiscal year has been more than adequate – nay, commendable.
Further, let me advise you that my Passionate Regard for you remains unchanged since my previous statements upon this subject and may be assumed to remain unchanged unless you receive specific contrary notification in writing.
Please do not hesitate to communicate with me should you have any questions or if I can be of any other assistance.
Yours truly,
(your name)
There. If that doesn’t melt your True Love’s heart, nothing will.

Jane, I am a little disappointed that you have given us the evaluative outcome without criteria on which it was based. Could you please supply a rubric for this?
I believe that Passionate Regard is a KPI fundamental to all Valentines. Agreed that a rubric is definitely called for here. Thanks for a good weekend laugh.
Don’t forget to celebrate EVALentine’s day as well, on February 15! See John Gargani’s love letter to evaluation – and great EVALentine’s postage stamps – at http://evalblog.com/2012/02/06/a-national-holiday-and-us-postage-stamp-for-evaluation/
Love is in the air!
