Appraisal Time

This is my first post in 2010. Though late, Wishing you all a wonderful and fun-filled new Year 2010. Let this year bring a lot of happiness and success to all of you.


The year 2009 started with a bang of fireworks at London and ended started 2010 with the new year celebration at Belgium.  2009 gave us a loads of memories to cherish, lots of celebrations, time to spend with dear ones and mistakes to learn from. I enjoyed 2009.

As this year started, my husband darling reminded me of "my resolutions". The year before last year I added a lot of salt in my food and the so-called-rosham made me take as many resolutions in 2009. I’ve infact been tracking them for close to 6 months. I somehow dont like the word "Resolution" just because of the fact, I cannot follow them!!!

I was madly in love with one particular resolution that I continued to have the same resolution every year, and each year passing by the same negative result of not following it :) Yesteryears have been a good testimony on that.  Good perseverance yeah!!
“Getting up early in the morning”. Gosh. I cannot!  Not at any given point of time!  

Note that I have taken last year's resolution too seriously, S Boss is all set to do the appraisal for me (Grrrrr).  

Description of the Ratings we used (Very professional we are!!)

EE – Exceeds Expectations

ME – Meets Expectations

BE – Below Expectations

Learn proper German Ich habe gut Deutsch gelernt. And the boss accepts it happily with a comment “Kudhutha kasu waste'a pogala”.  Rating: EE

Wake up time on Weekdays atleast before 7.00AM

For 6 to 7 months I think I managed to follow them (konjam over estimation dhan). Boss is not happy with this.    Rating: BE

Wake up time on Weekends atleast before 10.00AM

I do strive to get up, but that never works out for me. I end up having breakfast during the lunch time :)

Boss comments: To favour her ME rating, the goal should be revised to “atleast before 1.00PM”.        Rating: BE

Avoid unnecessarily spending on fashion artificial jewels, clothes etc

I pass this question from my side. Boss says "No improvements. The wife can never compromise on this. Married guys Beware!!    Rating: BE

Write atleast 5 blogs a month

I wasn't too regular here.  but Boss is very happy with the time I spend on Blogging.  Rating: ME

Cook atleast 20 new dishes this year

I tried more than 20 dishes. Cutlet, peas pulav, vegetable biriyani, fajitas, Adai-Avial to name a few

Boss says: Edible and eatable!!  Rating: EE

Not to waste time on Internet/Laptop/Chat

Earlier I was chatting, now I am playing. But the objective was never met.

Boss says: "I thought social networking sites are meant only for maintaining friends network. Donno who invented Zynga games in FB. Farmville down down, Facebook Ozhiga"   Rating: BE

Reduce eating Potato Chips and Chocolates

54 kgs is the resultant. I no speak.

Boss says: We compete a lot in Chips, though she clearly becomes the winner in Chocolates.  Rating: BE

Albeit a poor rating, I have made good accomplishments in the past year. For instance, completing my theory papers in Psychology, getting German certification, getting a job in Zurich, learning the tactics of MIL’s cooking to name a few.

But still... NO!! I am not happy with the ratings (booh booh!!).  The resultant - I am going to take a resolution "not to take any resolutions from this year onwards".
