We watched his performance and it was one well deserved 200. Unfortunately for hi, when he had his appraisal, here&#8217;s what happened!</p>
<blockquote><p>200 Runs/ 147Balls / 25&#215;4 / 3&#215;6</p>
<p>Agree you have done GREAT BUT BUT BUT BUT</p>
<p>25 x 4s = 100</p>
<p>3 x 6s = 18</p>
<p>It implies that you scored 118 Runs in 28 Balls.</p>
<p>And 12 x 2s = 24</p>
<p>58 x 1s = 58</p>
<p>IT means you scored all 200 Runs in only 98 balls</p>
<p>So you have wasted 147-98 = 49 balls</p>
<p>Considering only 1 run scored on each of these balls you could have earned 49 valuable additional contribution FOR OUR TEAM</p>
<p>MANAGER’S COMMENT:</p>
<p>So you only met the expectations and NOT EXCEEDING (so what if no one else in our team did it) and your <strong>Grade is C</strong></p>
<p>Areas for Improvement for Sachin : Learn from how to STEAL singles. ( you better know what I mean stealing single )</p></blockquote>

2. His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity.<br />
3. I would not allow this employee to breed.<br />
4. This associate is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won&#8217;t be.<br />
5. Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.<br />
6. When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.<br />
7. He would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle.<br />
8. This young lady has delusions of adequacy.<br />
9. He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.<br />
10. This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.<br />
11. This employee should go far-and the sooner he starts, the better.<br />
12. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.<br />
13. Got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn&#8217;t watching.<br />
14. A room temperature IQ.<br />
15. Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together.<br />
16. A gross ignoramus &#8212; 144 times worse than an ordinary ignoramus.<br />
17. A photographic memory but with the lens cover glued on.<br />
18. A prime candidate for natural deselection.<br />

23. Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn&#8217;t coming.<br />
24. Has two brains; one is lost and the other is out looking for it.<br />
25. He&#8217;s so dense, light bends around him.<br />
26. If brains were taxed, he&#8217;d get a rebate.<br />
27. If he were any more stupid, he&#8217;d have to be watered twice a week.<br />
28. If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you&#8217;d get change.<br />
29. If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean.<br />
30. It&#8217;s hard to believe that he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm.<br />
31. One neuron short of a synapse.<br />
32. Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargled.<br />
33. Takes him 1 1/2 hours to watch 60 minutes.<br />

<p>Firstly my apologies to dog lovers. Am just using the phrase.</p>
<p>Ever since <a href="http://hutch.in" title="Hutch Site">Hutch</a> took over <a href="http://www.orange.com/" title="Orange Website">Orange</a> in Mumbai, the future doesn&#8217;t seem so bright anymore!</p>
<p>Besides getting rather erratic signal, I&#8217;ve experienced loads of cross connection problems. And this hasn&#8217;t happened to just me!</p>
<p>What is even more surprising is that a full signal drops several units the moment I answer a call!</p>
<p>Technology usually gets better with time. Here we are actually seeing a drop in performance!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using Hutch for over five years now and this number for two, and so am a little reluctant to shift <img src='http://ajaydsouza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
But, if I have to, I will!</p>
<p>Let me know your experiences with Hutch. I don&#8217;t think we can do much about it, but maybe some bad publicity may wake them up?</p>
