| Well, hello again. I wish it was a happy thing that motivated this page...who knows, maybe it is...I'm just adjusting to it as I write this. A major change in my life over the last few months. I no longer work in Law Enforcement. At first, I thought this was a bad thing, but in hindsight...the stress of the last 10 years with this sick joke of a police department has taken it's toll in the form of stress and all the physical and emotional burdens it placed on my soul. The last 6 months I was with the department was the worst. After having been publically humiliated by the hiring process last time around and the blackball tactics so keenly displayed by those who, laughingly, deluded themselves into thinking they were my "superiors" I chose to pass when the Supervisor position opened up again. In the end, I won my freedom and that is worth more that anything those fools could have given me. As readers of this page know, I was "out" at my department. Let me say that there WERE many in the department, to whom, this made no difference. Thanks to those of you who obviously knew and remained supportive. A special thank you to my Chief... Tony...you were the greatest. Your support meant more than you'll likely ever know. As to My immediate supervisor, my Leintentant, and my Captain, a big thumbs up to the three of you. Your small-,mindedness and ultimately, your blatant homophobia finally became so obvious that , even those outside the department were stunned by your shameful conduct. As for me, I feel much better. The income from my new job isn't quite what I made before, but they already recognize I am a managment-quality asset to their company...the income will come in time. :-) To the three of you, shame on you. Of course, you know no shame for you have no conscience. I do. I forgive the three of you. The anger has been replaced by sadness that you couldn't get past your stupidity and ignorance. I will try to think nice thoughts of the 3 of you. If I see you at the roadside broken down, I will do something none of you would ever do for me. I will stop and offer to help. Can you 3 say the same. I know Tony would. You 3 could learn much from him. Learn it well and learn it soon, not for my sake, but for yours. Mohandes Ghandi taught the world that to hold on to anger only cripples us...not out foes. So,..I forgive each of you. You couldn't help yourself. My best to you. You will ALL likely need all the friends you can find unless you change your methods of practicing humanity towards those you work with, play with, live with, and share the planet with. I bid you each peace and a happy life. |
