Okay, well, this changes things.

I have long held the belief that I didn't ask to be born, but since I was, I'm now forced to live a life because I refuse to end it myself.

However, I had not, until now, applied that same sense of logic to work ethic. It's true, I have not ever agreed to do my best except by volunteering it. People have told me to do my best, I've said that I will do my best, but I don't think it's every been the case that someone has asked for me to do my best and I've said I will, as an agreement.

I certainly made no such agreements prior to being alive.

It's a good point. One I had not considered until now.

I started a new job some months back, and my boss straight up told us in a team meeting "we're not paying you to give 100% all the time, that's not possible. We're paying you for your average effort. Everyone has good days and bad, so don't worry about it. Just do the job as good as you can on any given day and if we were right in hiring you, that will be enough." Kind of blew my mind and confirmed I'd done the right thing signing with that company.
