If You Have To, Volunteer

The company was doing
a system roll over on Friday.
I knew that someone
from our group
would have
to come in to verify
it was completed correctly.
I also knew it would
likely be me.

I stated the hours
I was available
and volunteered.
My time frame ended up
being the time frame
for the rest of the team.

A group of authors
are presenting to the library.
Each of us
has responsibility
for a portion of the educational component.
No one wants to do this,
including myself,
but when the breakdown of components
was sent,
I volunteered for the most interesting one.
I was the only ‘volunteer’
and I did get that component.

If you have to eventually do something,
you might as well immediately volunteer.
That will give you more control
over that dreaded task.
