Can people really depend on you? When push comes to shove, can they rely on you to GTD? TuxedoJericho from our live community sent in this list of top five ways to become a more dependable person.

• Do not complain if you get a call at the last minute. Twice this year alone I have received a call to do a light technician job with only one day left before the opening. Just be glad that the people respect your work enough to give you a call when their chips are down. Go in there, do a good job and have their repect for you go through the roof.
• Do your best work at all times. This may sound like a no-brainer, but if you are doing something artsy that is supposed to be in sync with something else, (like lighting cue changes in time with music) and your first rehearsal is the final rehearsal… the directors know you are going going to be perfect. Do your best, and then work your rear end off before the actual opening with tools you have available.
• Always be nice and polite to the ones you are helping. I mean, if you are polite, the person that is needing your services will remember what a good person you are and call you back if they need the help in the future. If you are rude, abrasive, or just plain annoying, then the chance of you getting called back are about the same as a snowball’s chances of surviving in hell.
• If you have a question, then ask it. Nobody knows everything. If you pretend you do, you will be looked at as an egotistical or narcissistic person.
• If you tell someone that you are going to be somewhere by a time, be there. If you say that you are going to be there by 4, then get there by 4, earlier is even better. If you are running late, call them and apologize. Don’t go into a huge story as to why you are late. Generally, the bigger the story sounds, the less likely it is going to be believed.
