When I’m on the clock, I’m on the clock. I don’t take phone calls until my lunch break. I get paid a wage I agreed to work for and I’m honest to a fault at making sure an employer gets the labor out of me they expect.
I work diligently, and when occasional physical limitations allow, I prefer to hustle as I take a lot of pride in what I do.
Part Time:
