Tired of all that bullshit I wrote till last year on my performance appraisals... I wrote this...
---starts---
I have become an octopus with eight hands for my clients. Also handling clients like A (can't give their names, they will kill me kill bill style), I have developed immense sense of nirvana as that’s the only way to go without going mad. You learn to handle high volume of work, unrealistic expectation, doing work of three people single handedly (now I know what Zen said about everything is possible, you just have to expand the capacity of your mind), engage clients when they have a pre conceived agenda of bashing you left right and centre (must have fought with their spouses early in the morning). With B(another one...) you learn to make plans on plans which are derived from another plan as for even talking to someone you need to plan the talking points, FAQs, brief history and geography as well. Your phone never stops ringing and you actually forget about your husband (I hope you don’t communicate that to him). Lastly, after doing all this, at the end of the day, you are still alive and have the capacity to take on a crisis that happens in a nincompoop place somewhere interior of UP and you handle it. Phew! For the sheer capability of it… I think I deserve a promotion and a raise.
P.S. I have logic for a promotion and a raise, after honing myself to such a position, it is impossible to return to normal life. Rather have more than less. I hope I also get some extra points for creativity.

I hope they too have my twisted sense of humour. Incase, not, does someone, anyone has an interesting job for me out there?

lol... u wil get a promotion soon... as a writer i hope. i pity ur clients for being exploited so badly...
ROFLMAO
Well being an octopus is surely not gud enuf. U need a centipede these days to get all the work done.
What is it about writing all this for an appraisal? do i understand that u have failed in fooling the system and the system has finally made u come on ur knees (it has nothing to do with ur sexy knees post) and blurt out whatever u have in the creative mind of urs? u had enough? have u? How does it help anyway. They will still keep u for there is a sincere talent shortage...they might just pull ur cheeks and laugh it out with a passing comment...you write well...and then carry on loading u with work. I guess u have better things to do then say the truth. Daru, make love, have a fling, be a super bitch and claim that ur employers are coming straight from the court of the Lord and are angels without their sissy gay white robes and wings. Say that the organisation has helped u stand on ur own feet (bloody manage on ur own we dont have people) and have taught u flexbility (what do u mean u cannot work 16,18,24, 36 hrs?)> it has taught u patience (dont u abuse the client or threaten them of murder) and helped u to be an adept in multitasking (zen and the octopus bit). Gud enuf for a nice appraisal. What Say?
