Why I sing my lullaby, Why apples turn rotten


These are the moments in life that leaves you stumped. Moment that you wish would never come. I stared at screen, out of words, ran out of the will to bullshit anymore. First comes the appraisal schedule, now excel document that it is a compulsory for me to fill. First questions – what is your biggest achievement for this year?

I stared at my answer last year, I let out a smirk. Interesting how you can lie with a smile and how much I can kiss ass. What should I write? The truth is – nothing. I haven’t accomplished anything for the company. At least nothing that can be considered as an triumph to the company. I have not contributed any major revenue. For goodness sakes, I fail every attempt of selling. Or even at anything that I dare take credit for. To be honest I felt like saying scoring with a Romanian senior auditor who travels around the world, that allows me and give me a reason to travel to NYC, Amsterdam, Paris and Thailand. To walk in the streets of NYC and have a hot CEO approach me to call him up. Ahaks… can I put that in, as a vanity complex to boost my self esteem.

I scrolled to one question after another. Why do they insist on doing this, when they know we will lie through it like how we lied through our job interviews, and resumes. Goals for the year, your view of your immediate bosses and the list of questions goes on and on. Exasperating your will to lie with every hit of each alphabet on the keyboard. Hopeless.

I am dreading the date – September 17….. Where in that small room, 2 dismal ladies will witness me lying through every breath that I could muster. While they pretend to care.
