Conference with the boss

My supervisor called me a little before lunch time today to see if I wanted to join him for lunch at a mom & pop deli around the corner from the fire station. It's not often I get to eat lunch with someone other than myself since I work by myself. We eat lunch and afterward he comes back to the station to pick up paperwork which is turned in at the beginning and middle of the month. When we get to the station he pulls out an evaluation sheet. The sheet consisted of various questions such as "Does the employee begin work promptly at 7am", "How is the employees performance at fires, first aid calls, etc". My supervisor informed me that he was supposed to fill that out with my assistant, and handed me another sheet which would be "annonymously" (There's only 2 of us that reports to my supervisor) turned in to his supervisor and used to evaluate him and his performance. I didn't have any below average check marks on my sheet, with approximately 2/3 of the check marks being average and the other 1/3 above average. Some of the average ones I don't have any control over, and the supervisor did mention that he would like to see me take on extra projects around the station, which is ironic since I'm the only one that does anything outside of the daily duties at the station and am constantly finding different projects to work on. I guess we'll see how it works out.

Sometimes you have to make it known that you're going above and beyond. "So yeah... I saw the fridge had some moldy cheese, so I spent 2 hours cleaning everything out and scrubbing down the inside so that everyone at the firehouse can store his (or her) food in a safe and eco-friendly environment."

I do, and I try to document it as much as possible. I was able to tell him a list of thinks I had done within the past week/month outside of my normal task. He just wanted to see more, and I think he really wants to see our vehicles get get waxed. (Which Ironically I've been the only person to do in the past year). Everything will be known from now on though.!
