SELF APPRAISAL

A little boy went into a store and reached for the public telephone. Standing on an empty carton--he was too short to reach the buttons—and proceeded to dial the numbers.

The store-owner got curious and listened to the conversation:

Boy: Good morning Ma'am! I'm a boy looking for a part time job... Can I cut your lawn?

Woman: (at the other end): No, I already have someone to cut my lawn.

Boy: O, is that? Lady, I can do the job for half the price you are paying now.

Woman: No, my boy. I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently doing it.

Boy: (with more perseverance) Ma'am, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm Beach.

Woman: No, thank you.

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy. Store Owner: Hmm... Too bad the lady refused! But I like your positive spirit! Good, I can offer you a job.

Boy: No Sir, thanks. I don't need a job. I'm already engaged.

Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one!

Boy: Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!

WELL, THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL SELF APPRAISAL
