Debts
I chose "being a better roommate " as one of my new year's resolutions so that I could focus on setting things right. I can't say that I've been a perfect roommate, or that I live with perfect people. What I can say is that I do have two great roommates that have done a lot for me. They've never asked anything unreasonable of me. My mess, at times has affected them, which it shouldn't. I've used their dishes and not done my fair share of cleaning them. I've let them down when I haven't followed through on things that I said I would do. Its that last one troubles me the most.
I've always wanted to be a man of my word. Its one of the things that I find nobility in (for short discussion on what exactly "nobility" see earlier posts. eventually I'll get around to putting more flesh on its bones). I feel I haven't proven myself a man of my word to them. If you'd ask them, they'd probably tell you I was a good roommate since they never have trouble getting me to pay the rent or the utilities. I hold myself to a higher standard than that.
This actually relates to another situation I find myself in. I owe a person a substantial amount of money. Nothing I can't pay, mind you, but something that wouldn't be forgiven. There isn't any good reason I could tell you that would justify me not returning to this person the money I owe them. Tonight I take action to pay my debts, with interest. I cannot, in good conscience, buy the business I am planning to without paying this person off. It will make it slightly tougher to get the money together, but I'll make do.
New Years Resolution Status:
Back on track with posting! Yes!
tonight I pay rent! but thats kind of expected :-)
If I worked any harder at work, it'd be illegal. as a side note, I'm gonna kill me some coworker if they don't shape up :-\
getting the stuffs out of the way so I can get back to what matters.
