I understand your angst. I have structured mine so that I only have to do two a year, and those two reports do the rest of the evals. Of course, my boss has the best one yet - "Fill this out and we will 'discuss'". Nothing more intimidating than going toe to toe with your boss when you think you have strengths he just can't see.
Our corporate evals are pretty cool, VERY objective in their nature so you have concrete guidelines (either you have been absent from work, without PTO 10 times this year, or you actually came to work every day, and on time no less). It is the bottom of the form, Strengths and Areas for Improvement where I get myself all balled up. Telling people their faults as you view them is rough, unless you are a cruel, heartless hag. (I say that like it is a bad thing).

Cheer up, evals are only once a year.
