Walk with me
On a scale of 1 - 10, today rated about a 5. So, at least an improvement on the past 6 days. I have started my shift rotation onto afternoon shifts so I slept in this morning. I wasn't sleepy, but I made myself some coffee and lay there reading my book and listening to music on my phone. I felt all warm, safe and cozy there. I got up at 9.30am, showered and had breakfast. I tidied up in the house and then left to meet my friend Lynda for coffee. We were chatting over coffee and talking about the gym. A new gym has opened close by and on a whim we decided to check it out. It has a lot more equipment compared to where I go now. But, less classes. So, I'm not sure if it will work for me. Anyway I have a 3 day pass mon - wed next week so I will go and check it out. I have osteoporosis so I need to keep my muscle mass up to support the bones. I was actually very proud of myself at my last bone density test in March . I had managed to improve my bone density from -3.5 to -3. I did a lot of research online and for the past 3 years I've been on a regime of vitamin D, Vitamin K2 and Magnesium and an exercise routine to build up my muscles. In the afternoon I went to work and I'd figured my chances of bumping into Mr Manager for the next few weeks are slim to none since there is only one hour that our shifts overlap. On starting my shift I discovered the morning person had forgotten to fax an important prescription to the pharmacy. I phoned the pharmacy and explained the situation. They told me to fax it and they'd make arrangements to get it delivered in the evening. So, I take the prescription and head over to use the fax machine in the offices at the main building. When I walk in the room Mr Manager is there trying to figure out how to refill the paper on the photocopier. He asks if I could help him. So, I do. I have to kneel because it's so low down. He then offers me a hand to get up from the floor. I take it and he helps me up . He tells me to go ahead and do my fax first. Which I do, but while I'm waiting for it to go through he rests his hand on my shoulder. My heart is beating so fast and I'm feeling weird by this. Those couple of minutes feel like hours. I got out of there as fast as I could after. I'm going to have to get over this weirdness and just act professionally.
Putting his hands on you at work. Sexual harassment !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was very uncomfortable with him touching my shoulder but I think calling it sexual harassment is a little extreme
