The time sheet asks where our hours went. We fill it in every day.

I tell myself: justify your day’s work.

I work over the quarter, always working on something or the other.

The appraisal round makes me sweat every time. It starts with a self review. I prepare my report card. Recalling what all I did the quarter, I fail to recollect and report everything.

There are people who are able to sell their work, and they move fast. Something I always wished I could do better.

You know inside. Your manager knows. That’s what actually matters.
