your friend is here trying to make her audition time

00:36

when she finally shows up an hour and a half

00:38

00:40

and send her on her way way out that hurts

00:43

You go straight to your place after the botched audition

00:46

and demands to know how you could be so irresponsible

You said yes to any and everybody in the past

01:28

get people to stop pestering you and leave you alone

01:30

right But since that pesky habit of not following through

01:33

has branded you is unreliable you're changing that if you

01:36

can't keep your word don't give it is worse to

01:39

commit to something only to bow out last minute or

01:41

do freddy job Plus we've heard branding stings for bessie

01:46

Yes so best to avoid that risk altogether Anyway you

01:50

made it a habit to double check your day planner

02:22

friends comes handy in the working world If you're punctual

02:25

02:27

be pulling into the employee of the month parking space

02:30

before you know it ching and employees of the month

02:34

while they tend to be promoted pretty quickly change and
