Time For A Change

Someone once said, ~Dependability is being trustworthy. If you are dependable, you are believeable and reliable. A dependable person persists or endures in a responsibility until the job is complete.~ In life, whether its personal or professional, dependability is key when it involves the people we know, hang with, care about, are involved with, are related to, and/or work with on a semi-daily basis. Essentially, its that key word called trust that you have with a person or a group of people who will not let you down when life gives you tough challenges. Let me ask you this question, who do you know that you is absolutely dependable to help you in any way, shape, or form at a moments notice?

Without a doubt, dependability and friendship go hand in hand as you trust that friend or group of friends to have your back. Yet, that dependability can be tested as one can be taken for granted for being the go-to-person when someone needs or wants something. Such needs or wants are many and a ride which are the two most significant things that a friend can overstep on. We all have friends that borrow money who we trust/depend on to pay back the amount in due time, which he or she can try to avoid depending on the tyoe of friend one hangs with. This can also pertain to a person's ride as well to where a friend/friends continually take advantage of your generosity, which can be limited.

When it comes to potential and/or significant relationships you want a person who one can depend on to be there for you even when that person is there without even being asked. For its that selfless act of kindness/love that is rare to find these days in someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with and yet you somehow find the Mr./Ms. Wrongs of the world. Its a sad situation indded for a woman when a guy she trusts/depends on to be her steady anchor and to catch her when she fall doesn't, which can mentally and emtionally bruise her deep within her heart. For the question can be asked, when it came to bad past relationships, who was that person or persons that you thought you could depend on to be there for you but failed you.?

When talk about dependability it can oftentimes be associated with a certain well known establishment and the employees who work there which includes management. Whether its services such as car repair, fast food, construction, accounting, etc. whatever the case may be, we all want the absolute best from them as possible. For a company such as Enron, which was billed by Fortune Magazine as 'America's Most Innovative Company' for 6 straight years(1996-2001), had many investors trusted and depended on them to keep their money safe and well protected, but unfortunately that did not happen as Enron managers/executives took the money, retired early, and sold company stock before it went belly up. Many jobs were lost and sizeable portion of people's retirement funds ruined all because of greed.

Working the asylum for the past 9 years, I along with my best friend have been considered the two most reliable and dependable guys working there. Guys who primarily break our backs for the asylum day in and day out and we don't ask for the recognition for it because in our minds we do it for the kids. Not to sound egotistical or anything, but for the most part, we're the backbone of the asylum and whenever there is some event, such as The Blue Angel Air Show, the two people that management usually come to first are us. For they think we will always say yes, but not this time due to the fact we feel burned out and overworked. In the end, you sometimes just have to put your foot down and say enough is enough, its time for a change.
