Dependability

They say that the economy is in a recession and today I was watching CNN and realized that the only facets that are doing well are retail and health care. So I'm sort of safe.

Yes, some weeks I have to work 78 million hours, but its worth it in the end.... I really do enjoy the day to day activities. This is not my point.

What I want to talk about it is dependability. I feel guilt if I go on vacation or take time off (sometimes). Yes, I know this shouldn't be. Yes, I know I'm crazy for feeling this way... but what I think and know to be crazy is when someone doesn't care about their place of employment.

While I realize that every place one works is not a "career move" it is still a stepping stone to your future. How you act in a part time job will only be magnified in a full time position. Maybe you say, "I don't care about my part time job", "its just for now", "its not what I really want to do"... But I must say that how you act in one position is how you will act in future positions. If you will not go the extra mile in your part time job, I'm sure you will not do it in your full time position.

Dependability is one of the most in demand quailites that you can possess....
