She told me last week that, while she couldn't guarantee me 2 days/week anymore for awhile, I was still part of the team. She said that, as opportunities for more hours presented themselves, she'd keep me in mind. I wanted to believe her and intellectually I did. But I've had crappy bosses in the past and I wasn't sure I could trust her.
Then this morning I got a text from her. She needed coverage today and asked me if I could put in a few hours this morning. I did so happily.
Not because of the money, though I like money. Not because I didn't have anything better to do, because working this morning meant I had to miss yoga.
I did so happily because it meant I could trust Ceecee. I trusted her, sure, but this affirmation felt good.

I'm very much of a "trust, but verify" mindset at work, too. Mostly students tell me the truth. But I will double check things to make sure they're not taking advantage of the sub. (Sometimes they do, but not as often as you'd think.)
