don't change the time for him. tell him to take a sack lunch lol (i mean dinner but it sounded weird lol). changing the time for one person after so many weeks of planning just doesn't make sense. i'm sure he didn't plan on having his car in the shop on said day, but to inconvenience everybody else? i don't think that's fair.

just my opinion though :)

That's what I'm thinking and I told him, "We can definitely talk! But, just please know that my plan is not to change the time because everyone else is planning to be there at 5:30. However, I'd love to hear you as long as you can hear me out." (Because he is always right, and everyone else is wrong. So figured I'd throw that in there lol)

Exactly. Haha. I just hate when full-grown adults still have a mindset of a 12-year old. There is a time for a man to leave his childish ways.

Maybe so, but this isn't anything new for him. He's always been like this. It's fine, though. There's grace and we talked, and we worked out a plan that works for both of us :)

Yeah, there's a lot of men (boys) and women (girls) who are acting like kids even if they are in their 30s...and the ruckus they're causing...well...amusing to some extent...:p

When a 34 year old acts like a 12 year old boy when he doesn't get his own way.

I am in charge of a recruiting event for tomorrow to take a lot of people out for a corn maze. All the details have been expressed and have been known by everyone. We have 25 people going, along with my coworker. My coworker texts me today, complained because we are leaving at 530pm in order to get to the corn maze and he needs to pick up his car in the shop right at 5pm (we are leaving at 6pm for the corn maze) and wants to have dinner. And it's stressing him out.

I apologized that he is feeling stressed about this but that maybe he can come later to the corn maze to meet with us. Since we are having a large group already going, I feel changing the time for one person will add so much confusion.

He proceeds to get angry at me because I won't change the time, I calmly tell him it's because we have reservations right at 6. He demands that we need to "talk" after our lunch break, and I said, "Are you telling me or asking me? I definitely do not want you to feel stressed! But, changing the time after planning this for 4 weeks, at the last minute for one person just doesn't make sense. If you do want to talk, I will be doing some recruiting stuff and will not be at the office, but you can come where I'll be and we can talk and I can hear you out!"

I am waiting for a response.

Sorry, I would never expose this kind of stuff out over Interwebs or just to anyone. But, I just don't understand. It's about control and he's making it about him. As much as I want to change the time for him, it's going to affect all the rest.

Ugh. I don't know. Lol.
You are in the trenches here...see it? I pray for the best results for God here and that peace overtakes you in what you end up doing. This guy is going thru his own moment of crisis God has allowed. And although it seems like something God need not worry about, that is Satan's lie. God is about the business of all the in-between moments of life. So I see a great opportunity to witness, simply in how you handle it. In the right and wrong department, yes he has overlooked you, and other people in the group, but instead of correcting his right and wrong in it, minister to him the love of God. Satan wants you to see the 12 year old here. God wants you to see a place where grace can move a 34 year old man{name here} in crisis toward Him.Authoritative Wisdom quietly left behind is affective whereas loud correction of rightness, or a cleverly soft sarcastic correction usually simply creates separation, and hardening of heart.

Satan says, "This man is wrong even by Gods standards, You have a right here!" God is saying, "Look a place we can have an impact, if you let Me I can serve this man who is acting like a child, it may cost you your right to be right, but I would show my supernatural unconditional love if you make way for it." Your choice! There is no condemnation in Christ, yet, there is a way that is better than other ways in serving Gods glory, over our own truly given rights.

Your future meeting has a choice, humans will never think you wrong to take what is rightfully yours, you have indeed made correct choices in the plans you have made. But I would pray, "Lord, how can you be glorified in this, help me know how I can serve both you God and this man in crisis, and show me, and everyone the lengths you love people in the small things of life, in this moment in time with this over-aged man.." I threw a bone for your rights in the prayer did you get that?!! Smile.

You sister need not be about this emotionally. You are not in error., either way .You can be at peace, the only thing you need to act upon is Gods lead. Slow down a touch and clean-slate the mind and get back into that peaceful mind-set knowing there are no wrongs placed on you... and I know God will have you deliver a response in real time, then, that will be His chance to work from there, at that moment simply say yes to God, and you remain in peace the whole way threw this snitbit of time, yet God will be left behind in a great way. Just saying....

I have all sorts of suggestive options personally to the specifics of what to do...reasons why you should not change the time, reasons why God could have you do that in a certain way, etc etc...but it isn't about our right answer is the point. It's about His, That has a fluidity about it depending, now, on your discernment in Christ. people can help you direct His will but God is the engine of all your decisions. Trust yourself in that place. God does, I do, we all do. For you are indeed a Christian.

Don't worry, there was no hostility between us. I approached it all in love lol and we worked out a thing that works for him :)

I didn't do anything wrong in it and approached it in grace and love. Thanks for your input! :D

Flossing...I do it anyway, but I mean...c'mon already

The string floss was the worse! Thankfully they built the lil flossers that got the lil plastic handle and the pick on the end for the hard to reach places....still doesn't make it any less tedious.

The more I think about it, I don't think there's a time in the day where I'm more annoyed and almost angry than when I'm flossing. I'm an angry flosser and frankly, I'm sick of it.

That was some sound advice, though. I definitely always have to walk away in order to process what I should say :)

You're great, Slave! :D

Had a colleague come over to my desk and start clicking his pen while he was talking, and it made me so anxious I couldn't think straight, he was doing it so hard.

Me: ok, that needs to stop. we're switching out your pens with ones from the supply cabinet.

When Preachers tell the men to not pick a wife based on dress size. This lumps men into one type, and ignores the picking women do, not to mention making women look like ignorant victims. There is no ugly or stupid woman only those that want to be pardoned by the double standard spewing from that Preachers mouth. Women are as evil as men and to call a woman a victim is the grandest insult ever.

So um...I've skimmed several of your posts...a lot of them have a common theme. Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

That Walmart keeps their workout equipment in the very back. I went there to buy a dumbbell last night and I had to carry it from the back of the story to where my car was parked, which was like half-way out into the parking lot(I don't know why I parked there, there were tons of closer spots lol).

On an unrelated note, I saw this cat in the parking lot as I was about to leave. My friend said she thought he works there, but I have my doubts. I named him Felix. lol

If you cannot figure out how I feel sorry for you. females have been complaining and worrying about superficiality since each was 10 or 11yrs old and when I start mentioning that I wonder if I was ever looked over based on looks at 40 people think I am angry or getting at something, all those girls were angry and getting at something...you got a better explination ?

I was going to say, Bruce, by the time you got that dumbbell to your car, it'll be time to just turn around, go back into the store, and exchange it for a new one because by that time, you'll be strong enough to take on a heavier weight! :p
