Week #47 Reviews and Plans

Reviews:

    Two things disappointed me. Should I channel my energy towards My Next Move?

1.      Review was only 5 out of 7. I do not think it is fair, comparing my expertise and contributions to what Vipul Gandhi or others contributed. They claim my problem is with "communications", but that is mostly due to poor impressons in the past.
2.      The QC Windows / Sys Arch leads (Beth and Ryan), and especially Bob Rychlic did not return my support with the support. They did not include me in the performance discussions regarding memory attributes. I felt rejected and judged. Bob even gave me / us a lecture on how things should be communicated through "sys architects".
