Workplace Goof Ups! :)

Here are some actual bloopers from interviews that we took:

• Me (to the guy being interviewed): would you want to throw the chewing gum for this round of interview? Interviewee: Nope… It still has some flavor left

Workplace goof ups:

• In a conference being held to understand why a certain process took awfully long, my colleague explains: “The server to explode images was down”
• A friend thought she was chatting online with me n went on and on about this new guy @ work who she had a crush on… a little while later – the guy gets up and asks – “who is sending these weird messages to me on IM?” She didn’t realize she was messaging him and not me! She sunk into her chair and didn’t look up for what seemed like a whole day!

:) Will be posting in some more in a while...

Ciao!

Appraisal Time!

Dear Upasana,

Let's meet tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM for your annual appraisal.

Regards,
Boss

:) Does it ring a bell? Does it give you a swirl in your tummy… or a tiny little voice from with in recalling all projects gone live & all the ‘oh damns’gone by in the yr?

I for one, am on the ‘self appraisal mode’…

Am I where I want to be?
Is this want I want from my life? From my career?
Am I heading in the right direction? Not just professionally, but personally as well…

And while thinking about all this, I am beginning to realize that from a college student, who had no clue what career should I choose, I have come a long way where I know what I want from my career, where I have a clear direction about professional growth.

But personally – from a college student who was busy dancing all the time (so much so that I never attended more than 3 classes of some subject I cannot recall! Oops), I haven’t really done much about the things which I really loved.

So besides setting professional targets, it is also important to set personal goals.
Get back to painting, sketching, dancing - whatever you enjoy... Set goals and see how far you have reached.

Ciao for now!
