I have a few reasons for not being on and updating this. The main one is I was in hospital over Christmas. I'm not going to go into details (since i don't want to think about it right now), but maybe that will come out at a later date.

But.. now that we're in a New Year.. i think it just might be a happy one. A couple of days after my last post, i went to the executive of the branch (next person up from my boss), and told her about what has been happening, and how scared i was, and that this was harassment. She got this look on her face.. i don't really know how to describe it, but it wasn't a good look.. and told me that he had done this in the past, with other brances of the company, and the only reason she had taken him on was because he had sworn he would never do it again. Obviously, he's broken that now. She told me she would do something about it, and said just to go about my normal duties.

Things were pretty normal until the afternoon, when he came in (he'd been on some trip in the morning). The executive openly called him to her office via the tannoy system we have. That only happens when someone's in serious trouble, so everyone now knew he'd done something. He went to her office.. and didn't come out for a while. And guess what?? Half a hour after he'd gone in, the police came in, and went to my executive's office straight away. After a few minutes, the female officer came to the reception desk, and asked me to come and give a statement about what had happened. That took a couple of hours, and having told the story twice now, i was exhausted pretty much. He'd been arrested (i hadn't seen it happen).

Anyway.. he was just going to put on a restraining order and charged with ABH but after recent events he's being charged with SBH (Serious Bodily Harm).

One surp[rising thing thats happened.. when he's wife and kids found out, i was expecting them to never want to come near me again (i feel l;ike a homewrecker). But, on the contrary, they came to see me in hospital, and i feel.. not guiltless, but happy that they understand that i hadn't known. His wife has been very supportive of me.. make that soon-to-be-ex-wife. And his son gave me a ride home from the hospital to my flat. Things are looking up.. it's going to be a little while before i feel totally safe and happy.. and i still have to face my work collegues when i return and i have no idea what they will say/do.. but at least i won't have to face him for a while.
