Stack more donks, say yes less often. This guy is also making you lie to all your other workmates.
I'm not nice! I'm not going with him because I want to help or be nice but because I can't get out of it. BTW you hit the nail on the head with making me keep his stupid secret and lying to my coworkers. Esp because he's going to tell them when it's done...I don't want to be his secret cancer buddy!
I'm still working on the homeless thing...by 'working' I mean trying to think of a solution. It's really hard and it shouldn't be. People shouldn't be without shelter. Anyway, I think the only way to actually make a change is to help one person at a time. Not much, but better than helping no people at a time.
Getting to know one person and helping them with solutions like housing, employment, valid ID, etc. (this sounds like a recipe for uncomfortableness for me...**** I generally do not like, but some things are worth being uncomfortable for.) So yeah, that's my goal before it gets too cold. Help one homeless person.
I agree, I must say yes less often.
