Too bad you're given a hard time for something you went out of your way to do when you didn't have to.
I do countless little extra jobs at work that I don't need to do but improves things for everyone. Like cleaning and greasing the wheels of a gurney so it can be maneuvered quickly, fixing and cleaning wheelchairs and other equipment, and making repairs to the [censored] plumbing. Being the only one technically and mechanically inclined in a workplace makes you an asset=job security
