Pride in work

I've been at the new job now for around half a year. I'm still having trouble finding some way of expressing some level of personal pride and personal accomplishment in what I'm doing there.

I want things to be done well. I want things to be done right. Why is that so hard for people to embrace? I seem to get shot down every time I want to take extra time to get something done correctly. This problem is especially bad if doing things right means spending extra money, even if it's not all that much extra.

The quality of the IT systems that professional Systems Administrators create and or enable for our companies reflect on our professional skills and abilities. Why don't more people understand that and act accordingly?
