So I just got an e-mail from my supervisor last year, who is now in St. Paul, MN. He told me that I should write up the entire situation from Wednesday until today, discussing everything that I did, said and heard. I decided to right at that moment, and writing it up made me so angry that I was shivering and shaking. Letting sleeping dogs lie is not working, apparently.
Don't these people know I'm too busy to have my job threatened for doing the right thing? That there is nothing in the contract about being bullied? That good guys are supposed to win?
Ah shit. Now I'm going to be sooo tired when I see Radio Golf tomorrow night at Center Stage. This is the show I'm most excited about this season - August Wilson's last play. It also stars Rocky Carroll of Chicago Hope and Roc fame. Heck, he was also in this great little sitcom called Welcome to New York which also starred Holland Taylor and Sara Gilbert. Yes, I've been watching the guy on TV my whole life, and tomorrow I'll see him live doing an August Wilson play. That $60/6show deal at Center Stage is one of the best in all of Baltimore.

Darling, you can't see the forest for the trees. "Writing it up" is code for "give me two paragraphs and put yourself in a positive light so myself and the department's ass is covered".
Sheesh! This might mean no meeting.
i haven't agreed with one iota of advice cham has given you regarding this issue. as a matter of fact, i can't disagree with her vehemently enough.
letting sleeping dogs lie (or lay?) and not taking control of the situation is for losers.
in my business we always have clients write up incidents so that, down the road, their memory can be more accurately refreshed when they need to discuss the particulars.
when memories are fresh, important details are more easily recalled, but as time goes by, minor but potentially important details get lost to the sands of time.
Welcome to New York actually starred Jim Gaffigan, one of the best standup comics out there. The rest were merely support.
The probable difference between you and me, anonymous, is that I have 25 years of employment and management in corporate America. How about you?
Sure! Make a huge stink, bring in the union rep, drone on and on about fair and unfair, right and wrong, legal and illegal....see where that gets you.
a different anonymous,
cham, for the love of god will you shut up already?! Good lord, who cares about your whatever number of years of "corporate america" experience? epiph, as far as i can see, has withheld enough details regarding the situation that anyone who does not suffer from self-adoration would think twice before telling him what he should do about all of this. what relevance does your corporate experience have to do with someone in public education? You are soooooo obnoxious. As far as I can see, you currently seem to be the most irritating presence of the local internet. every time i see you name attached to a comment anywhere, I am guaranteed to be annoyed.
and another anonymous
well said anon #2!
No advice, just wanted to say good luck and I hope it's all resolved fairly quickly. Try and put it out of your mind and enjoy the play tomorrow.
That good guys are supposed to win?
What is supposed to happen and what does happen are often two very different things.
To all:
I'm not actually seeking advice by posting about this situation. I've made sure that no reader knows either the details of the situation, nor the personalities involved, and thus the advice that these posts have garnered haven't meant much to me. I appreciate support and all, but anyone who is acting as if they know what I should do doesn't really have any idea since they should have no idea what I'm talking about.
I did chuckle at that third anon, though.
And to the second anon: Yeah, I didn't want to mention the weak link of the show. Great supporting cast, though. (I know, I know, that's not really fair; Gaffigan played the straight man. But that show was stolen by Carroll, Holland, and Gilbert.)
