Being there for other people when they need you — no matter how inconvenient that happens to be — means certain intangible benefits will be bestowed upon you. First off, you get the good feelings that go along with helping someone for absolutely no personal gain. It’s also nice to know that others trust you enough to ask — kind of makes you feel good about just being you. Well, a coworker is about to say thank you — another perk, but one you’d never even considered. — didnt i just say that i keep putting everyone else before me?
