YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay. This week was not all only challenges but a different side of me came out. I had people line up to work, chat, ask for my advice, and thank me for my work. Most people were delighted and enjoy working with me. This is what I’m about, what sets me apart from the person that doesn’t want to acknowledge or might not care about the work that happens in addition to my real job. I truly only had one person to support me in my job and I wanted to above and beyond and I gave her a gift card as a thank you which I know wasn’t enough to replace all the support she gave me over the time up to today.

Investigators are comfortable working with me, we chat about our personal lives now briefly and have adjusted to their preference of work style.

Also, in not so good news an investigator came to me and asked for advice on how to proceed about an incident that was brought to his attention of a man making sexual remarks to a young lady that made her feel uncomfortable and unsafe. I can’t believe this still happens. I asked him to report it immediately as we should now that we are aware, we are now responsible for taking action on her behalf.

The investigator trusted my advice and I shared with him I dealt with a situation at a different organization where I had to call the police because my assistant was being harassed and was being followed and ultimately was attempted assault. Once the person was arrested the wife called me and tried to convince me to not press charges which was not at all in my power or would have helped either. I still can recall the man come into my office and she hid under her desk, terrified. I told the wife to not call me, email me, and intimate me because I was recording and would send her to jail too. My assistant was escorted by police or myself until her departure which she made the decision to quit the job.

The things I’ve seen and endured in my childhood were not at all easy, instead dangerous and scary. Now I have no fear when I hear or see things like this happen instead it is replaced by perseverance and taking action. So much of it I used to turn it into a strength. You cannot let it take you down.

I’m glad that I was able to help out. We should embrace each other during times of hardship and stay positive. All the Best!
