Snakes and Ladders

This is the excerpt of the conversation; I had with a colleague of mine. I was trying to boost her morale. I gave her examples, which people give me on and off. After the conversation I just realised one thing, its like playing Snakes and Ladders. I don't know, whether I am at 99 or 0. But one thing I know…I don't have a dice anymore…..
