Clown...I have never lied on this board. Believe it or not. I don't care.
So, I was a manager at IBM in Charlotte, NC for a few years. One of my most important tasks was to give my employees their yearly evaluations, or as IBM called it...give them their appraisals.
Without fail, there would always be someone in the bunch that disagreed with my appraisal of their work, obviously thinking their shit didn't stink (you understand that, don't you) and who thought they deserved a better appraisal.
My reply to them was this: Put your accomplishments during this last year in my hand. Show me something objective and specific that you did to justify earning your last year's salary. Anything.
That usually shut them right up, because that usually had no significant accomplishments.
So, I ask you....what the fuck have you ever done? Put it in my hand. Justify your existence. Rattle off a few accomplishments.
I have had many, many significant accomplishments throughout my entire working career. I have saved IBM millions of dollars (me, I did it, alone, just me). I have saved individual IT clients hundreds of thousands of dollars by correcting business bottlenecks via IT solutions. I have developed an innovative Medical Records application that was placed in use long before any other app like it was ever marketed. I have accomplishments that I can objectify. I can count 'em.
Now. You. What the fuck has a poet (or wannabe poet like you) ever done? Did a poet invent the steam engine? Did a poet Invent the light bulb, transistor, personal computer, etc? What objective money saving event has a poet ever done? Nada. They rhyme words, and think they are clever. Did a malcontent like you ever accomplish anything?
So, come on....I didn't lie; let's hear your accomplishments in this work life. Tell me anything (but don't lie). After all it is the internet, and everything on the 'net is true......
