I don't believe there are many notes attributable to this meeting. I haven't spent the time to reflect on it as I currently do not see the need.
After Court
After Court, I proceeded to the Probation Office as directed. I had a nice chat with PO MACRAE. I found her to be very pleasant, open, kind and trustworthy. She is a nice lady. I do not want to write anything here, but with the theme of things, for continuity, I will.
Upon taking her Business Card I noted she had her email address listed. I was happy to see this as I am often better at writing than I am speaking. We discussed that too, she had valid points on the drawbacks of reading as opposed to listening to one's words.
Email Addresses Optional
PO MACRAE explained that some Probation Officers have their emails listed and that some do not. It is a personal preference that each person is left to decide for themselves. This must be true, someone authorised those cards. Perhaps it is different here, but I when I worked an office everything had to be approved.
Anyways, with an email address I could write to, I was happy. My "Mental Health" (words I never like to use) was so poor at times over the last six to eight months it actually pained me to speak. To be clear, my poor Mental Health I mention is attributed to the roller coaster ride that my life is going through. Not an illness.
In writing, I can take my time and clearly express the detailed things I desire to communicate. On top of this, if I lost my ability to maintain a telephone service, the internet is much easier to obtain. Not to mention, I place a higher personal priority on it.
The one other reason that I was happy for the email address was for the absolute directing to this website. Specifically, my words (which are still lacking) to her Majesty the Queen. I still have not yet, had any offers to help edit that one letter.
Our meeting concluded without issue. I didn't want to state this, but again I found myself yet again favouring another Probation Officer over my previous one. I liked PO MACRAE because she was open, transparent and trustworthy.
