say something about ... yourself!

I want to ruin my perfect attendance at work. Nobody fucking recognizes it, or the extra hours I put in, and other people don't show up and get away with it.

Other people shit their pants and don't change right away. Don't worry about others, fuck them. Do your best, and it will hopefully pay off in the end should you use them as a reference... perfect attendance record is a good thing to have.
 
It's a level of commitment to your job. It's a good thing to have, since you always see something eventually for doing the hard work. Just don't get married to your job. You can do a good job and get everything done without having to be married to you job. It's a hard thing to do, and I've only ever worked with two people in my tenure in the work force that could do it well.
