Self Appraisal

It's time for Appraisals and promotions in the office and even I am expecting a hike...but this isn't a post about all that...To me appraisal means growing by learning new each day and personal job satisfaction that comes from working both hard and smart... 

Here's an inspiring story sent to me by one of my colleagues...Hope it peps up your Spirit as it does mine...Enjoy!

A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a  store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

Boy                : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

Woman         : (at the other end of the phone line) "I  already have someone to cut my lawn."

Boy                : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."

Woman         : I'm very satisfied with the person who is  presently cutting my lawn.

Boy                : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor  and the stairs of your house for free.

Woman         : No, thank you. 

With a smile on his face, the little  boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this,  walked over to the boy.

Store Owner       : "Son... I like  your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a  job."

Boy                      : "No thanks,

Store Owner       :  But you were really pleading for one.

Boy                      : No Sir, I was just  checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is  working for that lady I was talking to!" 

 

         This is called
        "Self  Appraisal"

wHEN WEEKENDS wERE fun!...

There was a time back in 2009....when weekends were REAL fun....When I had time to hang-out, chill, relax, watch TV, eat Momos, at times do the 'HOMEWORK'...Damn My life is Cursed...

Oh No! No! This is not just another RANTING Post...

I just want to shout-out-loud and vent it...so I may feel a bit RELIEVED! So, talking about Weekend...How was your’s BTW?

Must have been fun....But, I had a REAL Bad Weekend...

I have been looking for a job change since quite a bit now....but nothing’s working out...So, I decided why no t try some like freelance to have a knowledge of how people in other industry work (since most of the employers desire a talented, multi-tasking, variegated, super intelligent employee who knows it all...phew! Don't know what these employers want out)...And, everyone out there is ready to give advises....you're doing so well in your present job...you shouldn't change....you're on the right track lady....if I am doing so well why don't you HIRE...Never thought changing JOB is Not that easy...

And, to top it all...I have to deal with so many other things...the WORST being my increasing WEIGHT...which I am not being able to balance because of running short of time...Weekdays are already PACKED! And, since I am running for job mostly on Saturdays....Sundays are either spent relaxing or working on small assignments...for “EXPOSURE”...

Life at times is really hard to deal with? So, much pressure...My MOM can't take all this (seeing her daughter striving and getting nothing). ..and is so worried at times that she tell me give up my job and take up something like TEACHING that's less tiresome....Gives me more time to take care of myself....But, I can't make her understand that it's a part of life...I know I will get the right OPPORTUNITY...There's a positive side to everything that's so difficult for me to explain and she thinks I am ARGUING...

I just Pray to GOD that I really get a JOB that day or will have to make a COMPROMISE of my life...(which I really don't want to)....

Working In A Hell

This is another one straight from the heart... As most of the times I write what I feel... I am like a book... you can read what's going on Inside looking at my face...

I can't lie...And I Hate to... Most of my lies have been caught coz my expressions betrayed me... So here's writing another post from "HELL"... You go it..."My Workplace"... And the Hellmates (my colleagues, friends and even bossy)... are so busy in work that they are sticking to their seat since long... And me... Despite having a sprain in my ankle... feel like jumping and taking a nice-long stroll... Trust me... It's so not very comfortable to sit at one place...And the Hell RuleZ have change. They have become as stringent as ever...

1. Don't even you dare budge from the seat when the Bossy is In (which is acceptable to an extent)
2. The Breaks you take will be counted...including your visits to washroom and any tete-a-tete you have with colleagues on the way would be watched carefully over...
3. Even your phone conversations are carefully monitored (as in how many times you make or receive calls)

Any there's a long-list to be followed (which I don't want to list down in favor of the master who has employed this servant)

But Even Hell can be a better place if you have good people around....fortunately, I have my colleagues who always try to cheer me up by teasing me...pulling my leg... And yes as already mentioned they even call me "Drama Queen"...And one of my friends has actually come up with his own definition of a "Drama Queen"... He puts it as:

"Drama Queen is someone who turns something unimportant into a major deal. Someone who blows things way out of proportion when ever the chance is given.
For example: "Oh my god! You copied that without giving the other person credit! That is just mean. You're horrible, don't talk to me. Im gonna go tell everyone what a cruel person you are just so they will pay attention to me and think im cool."

OR

"An annoying person (mostly girls) who always feels like every insignificant problem in her day is a disaster of Tusumani proportions. Anyone who so much as gives her the time of day is in for an endless session of hearing why her boyfriend is such an asshole or how she's fat because she can't wear size 0 jeans along with an all day crying marathon."

So how cool is that working in a Hell... With "Hellmates" who make even hell a better place to "WORK"

Confessions of a BOLLYWOOD FAN

I am a BIG BOLLYWOOD FAN.....Whether it's movies, songs, latest fashion trends... I LOve them All... In fact, sometimes I am called a "DRAMA QUEEN" by my friends....Guess why... I Follow Bollywood to the CORE...

I make funny, cute, silly, sad faces according to the mood... will become sad one moment... and happy in another... you can catch me by EXpressions ON My Face... That's not all!

Even my dressing style is MUCH Filmi... I wear WHITE, Ugly and the oldest of the Clothes when I am not I a good mood... Infact, I don't feel like ironing them at times... While at others... I crave for attention wearing the most Stylish Clothes with "ALL EYES ON ME"...

Coming to Songs...My Mood Swings with songs...I can cry like HELL listening to a couple of songs...while there are songs to which I feel like jumping with joy... NO MATTER... where I am... In cab while commuting, at workplace, in kitchen or in bathroom...

I am sure many of you might have some similar interests... Or I am the Only CRAZY LADY...

P.S. While writing this post I was listening to a Peppy Bollywood number... can't control my feet from tapping... BOSS IS OUT (Yippi)

It's been a LoOOOOOOOOnG TiME!!!

Holla Guyz,

It's been a really long time since I have not been blogging... It's not that I don't want to... But work is really keeping me very busy these days..."WORK IS WORSHIP".... as my best friend says... To me it really IS... In fact, it's Work that has really worked as a therapy for me right from keeping myself busy to forgetting the past and focusing attention on my career.

Life has started taking a "NEW LEAP"... the past that was haunting me is gradually FADING and NEW HOPES and NEW ASPIRATIONS that were really missing have started taking a shaping...

I am again feeling fresh... ready to begin a "new phase" with fresh dreams, and believe me with more energy than ever....I am CHARGED... REady to take up "New Challenges" that life is posing.... A Little More HAppy and a Little LEss Sad....

Thanks to Almighty for blessing me with such nice friends and family who stand by mee and reinforce that "you are not alone"...

P.S. - Will continue with 'Love Is Blind' a little Later...

Holla Guyz..... I am Back!

First of all, Hi to all my wonderful blogger friends... I am back... The Exams are Over and so is the final year of my Master's Degree? I wold love to read everyone's blog... Actually I am dying...

Trust me it was too boring for a workaholic me to sit idle at home... Studying...sleeping..and eating was the usual routine... "NO TV" like the good little schoolgirl... I am back to work too and has so many assignments to deal with...

Finally, the hardwork has paid-off with considerable good "PROMOTION"... Seriously... I missed all of you a LOTTT!!! B'day waz fun... I had a GR888 Time with my family...

I was reluctant to go first but finally said "YES" for watching Kambakht Ishq... In the evening a surprise awaited at home... Cake and party...

How can I forget my gift... A teddybear and card from my sisters... The card is the best one I have ever got and the Deddy... ooops Teddy Bear is soo Cute....

My friends too have gifted me a really sweet, smelling perfume... I loved it!

Now it's Friday and I am making plans to have a restful and fun-filled weekend, if I get to go out...

What NXT???

With Working keeping me really busy... I am hardly getting time to keep in touch with blogging... There is so much work piled up.... God Save the poor child...

Well, Am so Confused (worried actually)..... as to be what NEXt???? Don't knw what to do.... How to be friends with him and tell him that I actually like him... It's really difficult know coz this is a very tricky situation.... Another thing whenever I come in contact with him... My Lips are sealed (as if someone has pasted them with a glue)... I am not able to utter a single "WORD".... Moreso, he also just looks at me and never utters a WORD...

Well, I thought may be my blogger friends could help! Save me and Pray for me...

No Cell Phones in Office: You Must be "Kidding"

Shocking! Surprising and Really Disgusting! Now I remember A.K.'s words "It sucks to be a corporate s**t"... Social Sites already banned... Going Out Isn't allowed and now they are banning cell phones too.. "They must be Kidding"...

Even many schools these days allow cellphones... What are we supposed to be "Soldiers On the Battle front"... Fighting everyday with something new....

I don't understand "Who make these rulez...". There must be seriously something wrong with these people ...please understand we carry cellphones because we need to de-stress ourselves talking to friends/ family... There can be an emergency message or a call from someone at home..."Cellphones are like the basic needs"

Do NOT Harass the employees by such policies...We know what's wrong or right, when and where to use cellphones... Most importantly, we are "DEMOCRATIC" and we "LOVE OUR FREEDOM" like "YOU DO"

Keeping Busy???????

Keeping Busy can be harder at times! I know there's lot of work to be done... But there's always an emptiness that surrounds me... I feel like getting away from hustle bustle of the daily life...sitting lonely in lush green environs and listening to those nice...slow...romantic songs...

Working in a corporate world sucks! Believe me! There is nothing much to do except that usual, boring work assignments...Not much except the buildings and the same boring faces to stare at...even the smile on their face is so mechanical...it feels like I have been sentenced to the same routine...Ah! which I am so used to now...

At times, I feel running away...To escape boredom I have started some practicing some new tactics:

1) Writing idiotic, silly posts like this;

2) Listening to songs on my most cherished Sony Ericsson W350i phone. Which I use more for sharing music than receiving calls... There is no one to call this poor baby!

3) Strolling in the office premises in the evenings with my best friend and bitching about everything (believe me I can even bitch about myself)...

4) And the best of all... Going to washroom to dance every time I feel like jumping on a peppy number... Ya know I love dancing...

And, like always... Thanks gain for tolerating me... happy weekend... And "Don't Drink and Drive"... But DO VOTE!!!

I am Getting Bored...So Bored

There is so much I have worked on...And there is so much to be still worked upon. My job is getting monotonous...with no change on the daily schedule...Sleep...Wake-up...Get ready...get picked by the irritating cab driver who plays those typical "ashiqui" songs. Reach office before the stipulated time...I don't know why we are allowed to go home...the office people should make rat holes for us - the poor workers...

In Office...Turn-On the computer and do same old stuff...time for lunch...get back to work again...time of tea-break...get back to work again...time for dinner...rush for sending the daily report...sign-off...get in the same irritating cab...reach home...and...sleep...

And the Vicious Circle goes-on...

The only respite is the two days off on weekends...Lovely...lovely weekends...two days when I feel so free...

Sometimes I feel like quitting...but the lazy cat inside me is used to this boring routine now...After all my job has given so much to me...respect, love of such nice colleagues and yes money for pursuing my most cherished thingy "shopping"

So...Happy Weekends to all of you...And once again take a lot of rest...Muuuaaah :)
