I was once employed by a homeless shelter in Denver, Colorado. This was after I received my degree too. I was really happy, started to develop peace, support, and respect amongst people who needed the service. Then one morning, I worked graveyards. I was assigned to families, the second floor. Singles was the bottom floor. I was in the office on the 2nd story and I hear this man yelling and shouting about threatening to blow up the building. Protocol says to report that stuff immediately. So I tell my lead co-worker. She comes up with me and confronts him. We are in the office. He yanks my lanyard with my keys, forcing my neck and head in a downward direction. And threatened my life. He said and I quote “You are dead.” I left the property immediately, ruined another position, possibly career because I really started to enjoy that job.
