“Duties as a assigned”, a throw- away phrase in documenting job responsibilities,

Throw-away until the pile on starts…

When you have done a lot of things, when you can anticipate some across disciplines, when you (sometimes) fill in the gaps pretty well,

You just do stuff to help the cause, like move those pallets off the dock as they’re taking up space, sure not my job, help the team, the department, the company,

And occasionally you miss something, and you feel bad as a result, one piece fell through the cracks, one plate hit the floor, and it’s “fail”,

And they you get the chance to practice your ability to pivot, to find your resilience again,

And resilience is GOOD,

Duties as assigned?

Bring it.
