Yes, boss.

Wednesday evening, around 4.00pm.

Colleague A:  Have you filled in your appraisal form for the second half of the year?

Me:  Not yet.

Colleague A:  We need to submit it to the boss tomorrow morning before 8.30am, ok.

Me:  All right.

Thursday morning.

Colleague A:  Have you submitted your appraisal form to the boss?

Me:  Sudah.

Colleague A:  Did you include your blue report card?

Me:  What blue report card?

Colleague A:  The one for all the courses and trainings you attended for this year!!

Me:  Oh, that one.  No.

Colleague A:  You need to send it in.

Me:  Malas.

Colleague A:  You need it for merit points.

Me:  I don't care.

Thursday afternoon.

Small boss:  Boss asked me to ask you about your blue report card. Belum hantar ek?

Me:  Tak hantar.

Small boss:  Kena hantar.

Me:  Hantar or tak hantar will not make much difference to my appraisal.

Small boss:  Boss dah mintak.  Please just submit it.

Me:  *silence*

Thursday evening.

Boss:  Please attach your blue report card a.s.a.p. with your appraisal form.  Your appraisal form is with me now.

Me:  Yes, boss.

Moral of the story:

1. Dah tua-tua bangka nie pun bila kat office ada sistem report card ye.  The report card will always be there to haunt you from your school years to your working years.  Just live with it.

2. Jangan nak dok tunjuk degil.  Kalau dah boss suruh buat tu, buat jelah.  At the end of the day, suka tak suka kena buat jugak.
