Just do your job

“Galloway: But my feeling is that if this case is handled in the same fast-food, slick-ass ‘ Persian Bazaar manner with which you seem to handle everything else, something’s gonna get missed. And I wouldn’t be doing my job if I allowed Dawson and Downey to spend any more time in prison than absolutely necessary, because their attorney had pre-determined the path of least resistance.”

I wonder how many times i’ve been frustrated with having to do something over.  I don’t really know now why I was so frustrated.  True, I can understand doing something over but not being given the amount of time you need to accomplish that task. But if you are given the time. If you are compensated for your time does it matter if you do a job once or twice or a hundred times.

Have you ever encountered someone who when asked to do something over asks “You know I’ll have to start over?”  I’m not saying I’ve encountered that recently but it does happen.  I think I’ve learned over the years that I don’t work at the pleasure of myself.  My name is not on the wall as some would say.  So is it better to do the job fast or the best? I think most would say best until they have to do that task over again. That may be why I try set someone up for success. I usually blame myself when something is missed or done incorrectly.  I think it’s a failure on my part. Sometimes though I want to just say “Do your Job.”
