To be surprised my work colleagues have noticed my commitment

I love my job. I mean love it. I have worked years to qualify in this job and I have a genuine passion for it. My life is tough at the moment. I'm a single Mum and I have a 60 minute commute each way but I want to be in this job and I will.

I cannot stay late as I have to be there to pick my son up from nursery. I am paid to work 9-4:30. I have to leave at 4:30pm so come in at 8am. I also work late during school holidays when my parents stay at mine (so I don't have to rush back).

Anyway I don't think I particularly show any commitment in the job. I am often tired and I feel sometimes I leave work when I should have finished a piece of work.

Yet I have separately been told by several members of the team that I am 'committed', 'dedicated' and 'enthusiastic'.

AIBU to be confused and perplexed how so many people can tell I am committed to the job? When I don't feel I've ever done anything to show that I am. Even though I love my job and I know I am committed I have no idea how others know that. When I've done nothing to show it.

Some mornings I am so tired I am simply stumbling through.

You get in an hour early
You have a lengthy commute - when you could get a job locally
You stay late when you can

:-) You are committed for you and your circumstances. Just because you aren't free and single with no commitments and the ability to work 24/7 doesn't mean your efforts have gone unnoticed!

Well done!
