What would Jesus do?
am i so bad? i gave Alvin (co-worker) a bit of a beating. he borrowed money from me and i told him i need it by today. but he said he can't and i said no can't do it's for my rent. i already told him i had my budget all planned out and i let him borrow it because i didn't need it until today which is for my nosy landlady a pay-your-rent day! i understand he has responsibilities, 3 kids : one in high school, an infant and another toddler but i thought we all have responsibilities and as of mine i have it all planned out. everything is on its place except for this. i demanded that he pay me the whole amount until i got tired of it. i'm no atm machine --- he has to know that. i have responsibilities much like all of us. that's why we are at work. that's why i couldn't pick up my parents at the airport later because i'll be working, it's my responsibility. it was his responsibility to provide for his family and live up to his words. it's not easy being the bred-winner of the family, i understand that clearly, but negligence is not an excuse. i can't be absent later or be late because i know it would be negligence to my job even if i know my parents would not like to stay with my relative for a night. it's because i gave my word to the company first. i said i wouldn't be absent so i won't be. i just hoped he would do the same thing to me. to honor his sworn words to pay me today.

i know i'm being harsh, but i'm just a "plan" person. if something doesn't go according to planned i get cranky. so in times like this i just ask myself: What would Jesus do?
