I feel strongly about showing up and being prepared and not taking the opportunity for granted and being conscientious about my fellow co-workers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I give so much of myself to my work; I want to be with people who are going to be there with me.
I have zero tolerance for people who don't come completely prepared. I expect contribution, I expect attendance, and I expect directors to take trips and visit the company's programs.
When people recognize your work and want to reward you for what you've done, that's a good feeling.
When you're at work, it's about being present and getting as much done as humanly possible.
Some colleagues have said they would not be very keen on working with me, but I am sure these things were said in the heat of the moment.
Losing your job is terrifying, but being prepared makes it so much easier.
I think my job is hopefully to connect with people emotionally and to feel less alone or understand things in a certain way.
I am doing the job with the mentality that I am going to be here a long time and I hope that I am.
I feel like whatever you've done in your career, good or bad, it's nothing but preparation for the big events to come.
I definitely feel like I'm at that point where it's nice to not have to sit at home and wait to be invited to the party, but to be creating work for yourself.
