More Than A Job
A job is a serious commitment. You spend more time working than you spend breathing, so it's a good idea to make sure you have a plentiful oxygen supply next to your desk.
Extract from the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers:
Law 31 - Control the Options: Get Others to Play with the Cards you Deal - The best deceptions are the ones that seem to give the other person a choice: Your victims feel they are in control, but are actually your puppets. Give people options that come out in your favor whichever one they choose. Force them to make choices between the lesser of two evils, both of which serve your purpose. Put them on the horns of a dilemma: They are gored wherever they turn.
Your job is important to you. You wouldn't leave your wallet lying around for someone else to pick up, so why treat your job any other way? And don't forget, if you leave your job in a parked car in the hot sun, open the window a crack.
