Came back after a late night dinner.......Wasn't feeling sleepy so here's what I came up with.....
Appraisal time at xxx Visa Office
(John Doe, the appraisee, walks in with a little smile on his face)
Chief of xxx CHC: So, John, why don't you start? How was the year?
[u]John Doe (One of the visa officer):[/u] Me? (Looking a little confused as to what to say)...Alrite...Ummmm.....Well, it was a great year in terms of learning......blah blah blah blah...
Chief: (cutting JD off) Coming back to the real thing....How many immigration applications did you approve last year?
JD: 197 !!!
(Few moments of silence)
JD: 197.... (Excitedly) AFAIK, that's the highest number that any visa officer has achieved in the history of all CHC across the globe !!! Isn't that great?
Chief: (Shocked) 197 in a single year? (Immediately murmurs something to himself)
JD: (Little taken aback after seeing shocked expressions but still smilingly says) Isn't that what we are supposed to do?
Chief: (Completely changing the track) You know what I like about you, you are a compassionate man who can....blah blah blah blah.... So I was talking to some delegates at a luncheon some days back and they were looking for a person to single-handedly manage a peace mission in a recently war ridden third world country.....blah blah blah......I looked at all possible candidates across this region and I couldn't think of a better man !!! I think you'll have a great time over there (Winking). I'll have the paper work ready by tomorrow morning and you can leave tomorrow afternoon.
JD: (Shell-shocked) Sir?....but...
Chief: (cuts him off) No need to thank me. Break some more records over there!!! (Again winking) I'll brief you first thing tomorrow morning and we'll have a small farewell. You deserve it my boy!!! (Again winking) Start packing !!!
JD (dejected and still wondering what the winks were for) murmurs something and leaves.
Chief: Who's next?
