Sooo.. Full story.. btw Dont ever take out your stress on others. Shouting at People: This week has been high paced and nonstop action in one of the places I work. So Today, however, my boss knows I wont work past 12 because I would leave to do my run around before my Sabbath, but even with that knowledge asked me to do a run for him. I didnt refuse just decided to go with my stuff so I wouldnt return to the office after.. You know, just head home after. So after making his errands it came to my attention that one of the things he wanted me to do would result basically in him being reprimanded by his superiors if not done in entirety. So basically I realized he asked me to do the task because he knew I was competent not to mess it up. So when I returned to the place I found out that what he wouldve gotten from that location was an incomplete/preliminary invoice. So I got that invoice and instead of just returning it I decided to get the complete invoice for him just to make sure that he was fully covered. But in order to get the invoice I basically had to travel from POS to Chaguanas to get a piece of paper as it can only be done in person. Anyways, returning to the office with both document caused me to reach back in the office late (around 2:30); I decided not to stay out with these document. Now he didnt communicate with me that he needed the 1st document urgently (later found out that his superiors were testing my response to his instructions), but, oh well. He began shouting at me for being tardy and irresponsible. Said a lot of stuff basically. I was annoyed and furious because I was out there saving his butt and all he could do argue and shout because I came back in after 2. I responded by shouting back at him. Wrong, yes, I know but I felt like a snake trapped in a corner. I told him I was late because I went out of my way to get stuff for him, at my expense. Long story short we both shouted at each other unnecessarily. and to be real with you, he was trying to save my job. His superiors would have reprimanded for what the thought was poor management of his workers (namely me)They saw it unfair for me to finish early for my Sabbath. They wanted to cut my job and he was trying to cover for me. I thought they were trying to cut his job so I was trying to cover for him. We both were humbled. Little did I know that my supervisor was an Adventist too. That document eventually spoke in our favour. We both we officially apologized to. It reminded me of James 4:1-6. We fight so much wars among each other and unnecessarily. We tear down each other before learning the truth behind the situation. We Negate the power of God and grasp our human understanding and try to apply it to something that is greater than us. God reminds us to be humble. The point that we become so arrogant that we forget that there is a greater man watching over us is the point where we invite the devil to dwell in our hearts. God showed us we need to listen more, not only to each other, but to Him - He should be our guide. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. James 4:6 Happy Sabbath to you all.
