5 Reason to put in Extra time at work.

I recently logged in a 12 hour work day at the ‘ol Advert Agency and I thought to myself what did I accomplish/learn from this. So I compiled a list of 5 which basically is what I think that I learned/gained from this.

1. Makes you look good for your co-workers/bosses.
This is so the boss’s and the co-workers know that when it comes time to get a paddle because its getting thick that they want you in their boat.

2. Help’s you realize if you really love your job/career or not.
This is true in more ways than one. IF you really like your job you are more likely to do things that you normally would not even consider doing. And if you start calling it a career well, I think this question is answered.

3.If you’re new (which I am) makes you get in some much needed brownie points.
Basically you need to prove to my employer/bosses that you can be someone to count on. That way come bonus/raise/promotion time they have a place right where you should be.

4. Have something to complain about the next day
Let’s face it. We all like to complain about something. Why not make it a really good reason to complain about. “Dude! I was here so late last night but, remember how pleased that client was etc. etc.”

5. Have pride that you did something all on your own.
When you come home at the end of the day its all on you. Do you feel like you accomplished anything  worthwhile? I always use is it worth writing home to Mom about? If so pat yourself on the back you did well.
