If you’re not available when you’re scheduled to be on duty, how will your duties be done? Who will be responsible?

"I take my responsibilities seriously, and it would have to be a dire situation to keep me from my work without reasonable notice--for example, a sudden severe illness or accident. I would never plan ahead to be absent without some contingency plan to have someone just as qualified assume my responsibilities. In the beginning I would like to serve on committees with so that I can enter into some reciprocal agreements for these types of circumstances."
