live with integrity

... is a really good worker… she was offered another job. she wanted to accept and was trying to set up days when she is available… the workplace wanted to get her on payroll immediately….. setting it up so she gets paid for a week that she is not there. .... which didn’t sit well with my co worker. she wondered.. how would she pay back for those hours that she wasn’t there? she refused.

now thats integrity.

how often do you see it? rarely.

something i definitely need more of i think

i find myself in situations (especially at work) where i feel that i allow things push me …. and i am torn between knowing what is right but wanting to …..but not doing it.

my work pushes me, stretches me. ... it is a challenge. my co workers are very good people, but sometimes not so nice …
and when you’re treated to a certain way …. for an extended period of time ….. you re-act a certain way.

i find myself acting… just like them. something i swore i would never be.

its crazy now that i am realizing this…. and so … this i need to change.

i want to be true to the person i am. it is not who i see at the moment.

are very hard to work with. i have one co worker who is like a ticking time bomb. you never know when she is going to blow. one day she is fine and then another she is not. everyone at work knows her temperment.

she came up to my office and basically accused me of hiding something on her. i told her that all she has to do is ask.

but there is no talking to her. she was so fuming mad … she took off before we could have any SANE conversation about it.

i WANTED to carry it on and make comments to her. ... but decided to let it go. i know i would not be happy inside if i carried it on and act JUST LIKE her.

came to the store and bought his groceries….. i happened to be covering at the till that day…. and i asked him at the end of his order… “is that everything for you?” he said ” NO actually, i want to pay for some things that i took accidentally yesterday”

he had bought a LOT of groceries the day before… and someone ahead of him must have forgot their groceries on the counter … so when i rang thsi man through… he took them, not realizing till he got home that he did.

he came back to pay for it! there is no way i could have tracked the loss to him. i knew the other custumer had come back … hoping it was still at the store….. but when we couldn’t find it… we replaced them (no charge)

how awesome that was to see….

now there is someone with integrity!

sometimes i think my work situation can provide many situations where this can be compromised.. when at one point of my life… there was no compromise.

i don’t like that part of me … so would like to change it.
