We also don't have PR or HR or whatever.
It's just me, my team lead, and the general manager.
My team lead (who hates the word manager) is a part of the team. The only difference between him and me is that he has more responsibility so he has the final say (and I haven't heard him say "no" to anything I've suggested in the past year).
We had a really good talk. I wrote down the good things I did in the past year up front, but I didn't need my notes because he mentioned them all. I also wrote down some of my bad habits, but he didn't mention them (well, one was mentioned, but he laughed it off).
I even complimented him on his openness towards ideas, changes, and his team.
I guess I'm lucky to say that nothing you describe sounds familiar to me

I install Visual Studio once! Trust me, when I say "once", I mean it.

Which had version number 5?

Wow, both are still updating

It is interesting to note that the updates always seem to take longer than the original installation. However, once done I have found VS to be an excellent and complex product that has given me few problems. I run several add-ins, extensions, etc. and they all seem to work very well. The biggest issues I have with the IDE are all with the ridiculously, presumably fashion-conscious, UI which is doing the real Apple thing by putting form before function.

I've decided to end my relationship with my Blow-up doll.
I just don't know how to let her down.

Don't let the pressure get to you.

Glad you liked it. I actually made that up myself last night, while my (real) missus was at work. I couldn't wait till she got home so I could tell someone. I said "I made up a joke tonight do you want to hear it" she replied "No please don't"

Sounds like just a lot of hot air to me!

Don't make this decision prematurely...
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Be careful, such decisions can blow up in your face...
And on a more serious note, there's a pretty nice movie about a blow-up doll come to life: Air Doll (2009) - IMDb[^].
As I understood it did quite well on many movie festivals and won numerous prizes.
Awesome soundtrack as well (very soothing) by World's End Girlfriend[^].
