Ok this might be kinda long so please bear with me....
I have recently had a run in with some one I work with who is very arrogant and really has no reason to be. There are certian policies as with any company that we have to follow or else we will be compromising our standing with the FCC. To make a long story shorter this person who I had a run in with asked me to do something for one of his customers compromising our policies and that he would take full resposiblity if any was to come of it. Well, I did it and I should not have. I explained that to him I needed to tell the corp. folks what had happened just in case it ever came to light . He said that was a bad idea and they are always buggin him so I should just let it be.
Well I talked to the corp. folks and was honest with them about the situation. They were understanding but were upset that this guy who had been here longer than I would put me in such a situation. Needless to say he got a phone call and a talking too. He called me up saying "I was this holyer than thou christian that thinks I am better than everyone else and he has seen my type before." He told me that he would ruin me in this industry and he is all about money at all costs and has no soul.
Well he I guess has a new year resolution to get in shape and I have been seeing him at the gym. He has been talking trash and staring me down while my wife and I are doing our workouts. Pre Jesus coming into my life I would have put him through the mirrors already at the gym with a dumbell attached to his forehead. There is still a part of me that wants to do that and I have been fighting it. I have even sence tryed to be nice and offer to help him with something at work as a peace offering and he was a total A** to me. He was at the gym last night doing his normal stare down stuff and yapping his gums and decided to come over to the free weight section of the gym that he noramlly stays away from. My wife and I are always in that section of the gym. So he is acting all tough (invisiable lat syndrome and all) and him and his buddy come over to a flat bench near my wife and I....
He puts on a 45lb plate on each side of the bar gives us the ol stare down and lays down to do his presses. Well I was doing my lying cable curls and looked in the mirror to see him with the weight plastered to his chest and could not get it up. At this point my wife and I are laughing to ourseleves as his buddy takes the 135lbs off him.
I just had to throw in the funny story cause it was priceless. Anyway I have been praying and trying to keep myself from not getting to worked up but this is getting old everytime I see him at the gym. The fun part is it is making me go so much harder when he is there becasue of the adraline of wanting to bash his skull in. Satan is trying to get me to give in to the temptation to fight and I do not want to give in. I keep saying maybe I should offer him so weight training advice or keep trying to be nice whenever I see him. My wife thinks that when someone says they know they are going to hell and openly say they have no soul that it would be useless to even try to be kind. I know I have to turn the other cheek regardless. Jesus was beaten, spit on and worse from people just like this guy and I try to focus on that as much as I can but in the midst of the stare downs and yappy mouth I forget who's really got my back!
If you read this all the way to here thank you and I ask that you pray for strengh of heart and mind for my wife and I in this situation not to do what satan wants to see. Me bashing his head in especially him knowing I am a follower of Christ would be horrible. Also if you have any advice or have dealt with anything similar I would love to hear it.
God Bless
