Do you realize if that ends up being my main job due to that this job search of what I am really looking for doesn't work out that it will be bad on my EVALUATION there? I am person that doesn't miss work often, so if they hire me thinking that my recommendation letter had that I had good attendance than don't, do you think that will be good for KEEPING THE JOB or getting raises or even them cutting my hours, huh?

For example, I have 2 interviews next week. I have to keep my schedule open for interviews. The employer isn't always going to be available at your time.
Everything in life is a risk. I dare you. Name one thing which is not a risk in life?
  • Take a step out of bed can be risky. You could slip and fall.
  • Bending over to pick up the morning newspaper can be risky. You could hurt your back.
  • Going to work can be risky. First, there is the drive and, then, who knows what could happen at the workplace. It is filled with all sorts of risk.
  • Sleeping at night can be risky. What if you don’t wake up…
Risk is everywhere, so we might as well get used to it.

As T.S. Eliot said: “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

Essentially, this is a true statement. “Going too far” may depend on the type of risk being pursued. However, life is filled with risk. We need to accept it. We need to deal with it. We need to embrace it… deliberately, fearlessly, smartly, and aggressively.

Taking the right risks moves our life forward. Sitting in fear leads to stalemate or, simply stated, a stale life.
