Trish, the HR Ringleader, moves to the head of the class with her Performance Review Madlib.

This year, I made it my goal to be the most loving member of the team. I am pleased to say that I met this goal by dancing as many milkshakes as possible. I also led the department in golfing the most marshmallows, a job I accomplished sadly. Next year, I hope to be even more annoying. If I had to pick areas to improve, I would say I have a difficult time dissecting my car, and sometimes need to be more golden.

And we got another from first-time commenter, Billie, who did this one.

This year, I made it my goal to be the most cutesy member of the team. I am pleased to say that I met this goal by barfing as many staplers as possible. I also led the department in groping as many kittens as possible, a job I accomplished shamefully. Next year, I hope to be even more gooey. If I had to pick areas to improve, I would say I have a difficult time swallowing my butt cheeks, and sometimes need to be more super duper tootie fruitie.

UPDATE: Ashley Andrus of Zoe Training had a couple more this morning! She hornswaggled her cool sisters into the Performance Review Mablibs fray.

Cool Sister #1
This year, I made it my goal to be the most red member of the team. I am pleased to say that I met this goal by sleeping as many geese as possible. I also led the department in jumping over the most watermelons, a job I accomplished quickly. Next year, I hope to be even more chubby. If I had to pick areas to improve, I would say I have a difficult time skulking around my house, and sometimes need to be more feisty.

Cool Sister #2
This year, I made it my goal to be the most foggy member of the team. I am pleased to say that I met this goal by waiting for as many pigeons as possible. I also led the department in drinking with the most day laborers, a job I accomplished patiently. Next year, I hope to be even more tired. If I had to pick areas to improve, I would say I have a difficult time coming to my car, and sometimes need to be more flashy.
