But I was assaulted at work yesterday by a guy trying to steal my car keys and am now super twitchy.

I was already struggling to do anything useful and am now just a sofaball.

I am glad you are okay and unharmed. Well. 'Okay' in the sense of physically unharmed. Not 'okay' because /gesture.

Thank you for letting us know (in case you need to drift away to recover etc!)

yeah

oh hon, I'm so so sorry and I'm glad you're physically okay, but that is so much to cope with. Thanks for the update and take care of yourself <3

It was like 30 seconds and then I had a ton of coworkers and security around me, so like. Yes, excellent, I feel very supported and protected at work but Jesus.

i’m glad you’re physically unharmed, please take time to rest and heal yourself

One coworker who'd already worked the overnight shift stayed late and another came in early so I could go home.

Bro punched me in the stomach but I was wearing my huge raincoat and a radio under my vest so he probably came out worse on that one. I barely felt it.

I'm glad you have good people there <3

the guy also did not get away. he tried to lock himself in an employee's car, then tried to hide under another one, and security and a janitor wound up kneeling on him until the SPD arrived.

so he's in jail

oh my God I'm so sorry

that's so scary

The cop who took my statement was really weirdly focused on if I felt scared or not.

which at the time, not really? too fast.

Might have to do with the type of charge they can bring against him

But fuck I'm glad you're okay and people were there

He already gets extra charges because I'm a state employee on duty. Poor fucker.

Holy crap I'm so sorry

holy shit, I'm glad you weren't physically harmed and help came quick but christ

I'm sorry, glad you're physically alright and didn't need the hospital. I'd be surprised if you weren't twitchy honestly.

!! D: /Optional!hugs

dear gods, I hope he gets a large book thrown at him, and I am glad you are all right

I’m so glad you’re unharmed! And that you have such good support

But definitely take whatever time you need to process

Eek! Glad you're okay.

Hope he enjoys those federal charges.

oh jeez I'm glad it was resolved quickly but jeez

hockey therapy

Damn good therapy. You deserve as many hockey games as you can get

Apparently the reason the cops arrived so fast is that they were already looking for him. He’d just assaulted someone else nearby and stolen their car keys. They also got off fortunately light.

oof

damn. dude needs to not commit a bunch of crime.

Glad they're okay too.
