Sticking up for myself-- what will happen?
« on: February 25, 2007, 04:06:40 PM »
Just an item in my days and a test of my anger and assertiveness.


I build the website for an organization. It is in constant need of additions and deletions and 3 semesters a year of Courses posted. The numbering of the courses caused much delay, work, errors etc.

There was a meeting and it was etched in stone that the Courses held in the 3 classroooms be pre-numered 1 through 45. 3 times a day x 3 classrooms= 9, x 5 days a week =45  Any courses held offsite would begin with #46.

The woman who does the Newsletter, just a hard copy of what I do, receives all the info first and for these Spring Courses she has changed the numbering system on her own.  She is throwing off my website work. All she has to do is skip using 3 numbers each day as there are only 2 times per day this spring. (The participants/students don't give a damn about numers. They say,"Where is Jhe Mah-Jong class?" not "Where is thirty-seven -O-7-W?" The numbering is administration only.

I am sticking up for me and she is flattering me silly about how great I am and I will do this for her as she has already done her time table the new way.

It was this morning that I wrote " that we stick to what was decided at that meeting, as I have the website and linking to deal with as when I received all her flattery last night (and another this morning) I was so angry, I turned of the computer, went to bed to read, and deal with it today, which I did without anger.


Just awaiting her response.

Well she is not backing down.

She receives then forwards the info, so I will tell her I will be gracious about it, but everything must be complete and correct, first shot!

That's my side of the compromise.

(((((((((((((((Izzy)))))))))))))

Even if it didn't work out as you had hoped, you were strong, set forth your point and did it in a mature and calm manner!

Brava!!!!!!!!

Love, Beth

The book by Scott Peck "The Road Less Travel" Starts with the sentence "Life is difficult". Dealing with other human beings is dificult. Full of conflicts. My sympathy goes with you. I do not how to deal with the conflicts at my school. Hope that you can have find a win-win solution. It seems like you have worked hard for them.
Love.

Thank you Beth and Lupita,

I have my quiet revenge

When she receives the material and sends to me it must be correct. Too often she makes mistakes. I build actually TWO websites.....One for the people who present their material, which is private and one for the Public when all is "ready to go" each semester.

I NOW have a notice, after what has been there, on the private site,  about checking their own courses for errors, "Because this is what the general Public will now see and I am going to link the individual course back to her pages, instead of repeating on the Public site.
