<prompt> Human: About 7 or 8 weeks ago, My close coworkerconfidant, lets call her Jane, came to me at work stressing out about how she couldnt pay her rent. She got pretty sick the week prior and had to take some time off. She put in sick hours to make up for the lost hours, but my manager did not see the requested sick time, so Janes paycheck was short. Jane is a fantastic worker, I wouldnt have loan her the money if my views were any different. I had a few extra hundred dollars that month, so I told her I would loan it to her. There was an understanding that she would pay me back when her sick time gets processed for the following paycheck. So the next paycheck rolls through, I asked her if her sick time got processed and she said yes and that shed bring me the money the following day. Awesome, I say.Its been three paychecks now we get paid every 2 weeks and Jane still hasnt paid me back. I hadnt brought it up since the first paycheck because I thought maybe she was still trying to get her ducks in a row. Then I thought, maybe she just forgot. So I brought it to Janes attention the other day and her response was, oh yeah, Im sorry, Im stupid, yeah. That was so awkward for me that I told her to just give it to me when she can. I dont know why I said that. It has been two months now and Ive brought it up twice. I do need the money back soon. Maybe its my own fault for lending the money out, but I didnt think it would take this long for me to get back. How I can go about this?  <response>: Shes taking advantage of your discomfort. Stand up for yourself!
