I would consider myself to be a hard worker. I think I do more than what's required for the job. That being said, I can't help but feel guilty for leaving work right now and leaving one of my co-workers having to complete mundane tasks on her own.
Should I feel guilty? Or is this just my typical, unfounded, liberal, bleeding heart guilt? This isn't technically my responsibility, but that "leadership" Jimmy Cricket yapping in my ear is telling me I should have stayed and helped out. My emotional tendencies are to make others happy at the expense of my own happiness. Typical middle child syndrome.
You know what? I'd like to give a big middle finger to guilty feelings as I have things I want to do for myself. I'm not owned and I have free will, so whatever.
Ah, I feel better. On to the L train to head back to my San Francisco Suburb.
