Frustrated in Diary

I had a lovely weekend just gone which I keep meaning to write about but I just want to vent for now. I have my annual appraisal at work today and I'm bricking it. Not because I've done anything wrong but because there's so much I want to talk about but I don't know how much I can say.

I've already filled in my form where we list what we want to talk about. I mentioned how Amy is always out of the office without letting me know in advance and I'm left to pick up all the admin in her absence without any support from the other admin ladies.

I wanted to mention in my meeting how Amy seems to hate me. A few months ago she suddenly started acting all weird with me. She stopped talking to me and, if I talk to her now, she sighs, rolls her eyes, snaps at me or completely ignores me. She stomps around and sighs all the time. At first I thought she was just stressed so I've been offering to do things but she just snaps "No, it's fine!" and stomps around and sighs about it. She is the only other person in the office. If there were a few of us, I wouldn't care, but she's creating a horrible atmosphere.

But, yesterday I overheard Amy tell someone that she's typing up all the appraisals. So that means she's going to see everything that's been said in mine, even though it's supposed to be a private forum. I don't even know if she's already seen the form I've filled in so far. How am I supposed to air my grievances to my boss when the person I have the grievances with is the very same person who's going to be typing it up?

So now I have no idea what I'm going to say. My boss will obviously want to talk about what I've already written, but I'm scared to elaborate any further.

I have three hours to wind myself up about it. I simply cannot wait to be out of here for good. I've figured I should be out by the end of August at the latest.

I shall update later once I've done it!
