Self Appraisal

Self Appraisal

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and
pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he
could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to call someone.

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 of 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
your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will
have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach , Florida."

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 what we call "Self Appraisal"


Google Docs – Now in Top Gear

April 3, 2008

Finally, we see one more google product that you can use offline.

The possibilites are enormous now.

  • Offline access
  • Sync when you are online.
  • No context switch.
  • No need for the desktop word processor.

There are certain limitations right now,

  • This feature is enabled to only a small subset.
  • Only English language is supported.
  • Not yet for spreadsheet and presentation

I still need to see it on my own and see how Google docs handles

  • Conflicts when two people change the shared document.
  • Can i do spell check offline?
  • When would spreadsheet/presentation support made available.
