anger is ugly

This video shows that anger is an ugly thang.



I shared earlier about being busted by one of the girls at work. And well I guess this is a bit of a sequel as to what has happened since...

I didn't tell anyone what had happened on Wednesday - I figured enough people had the privilege of being eyewitnesses themselves - but word got round to my boss (the ops manager) and she talked to me on Thursday and asked if I was OK after 'the incident'. I was quite surprised that she had found out about it and I just told her - yeah, I'm fine. She then told me that it was totally out of line for the other girl to shout at me in front of other people and to talk to me in the way that she did. She then told me that she fully understands why I wasn't able to do that thing that I forgot to do and said that it wasn't a priority for me to do that because that is not my main job. I think she then went on to bust that chick who busted me, because later I got an apology.

Well today, I was talking to some of the other girls at work and one of them said something like - 'I heard what Jen did to you the other day, and I reckon you handled it really well' she then went on to say that people had been talking about it and that basically, they all see her in a somewhat negative light, and had noticed that I didn't return her sentiments when she confronted me. She also said that management were starting to look into the way she relates to and treats other staff.

So first lesson learnt - the office is a breeding ground for GOSSIP! (the news travelled super fast man!). Second lesson, keep doing what you can to keep that testimony for God at work or at school. Third lesson, vengeance is God's, He will repay. And lastly, anger is ugly - and it doesn't bring you respect (even if you think it might).
