Rebuttal (From Ms. Psych)

The fun continues, but now I will stop:

In response to your latest email, regarding my choice of working in schools is none of your business. My career and employment are my business. Your behavior has become most unbelievable and childish. It is obvious that you are taking the focus off yourself and now attacking me, because I brought it to your attention that you spoke loudly in the library in front of my office and led your students to do the same. Most teachers are very considerate of the other people working, as they help their students line up in front of my office. I followed the “Code of Conduct” that was developed at our school, by addressing this problem with you. Instead, your response was deflection of the problem and attacking my career.



Might your loudness be retaliatory because I would not fold to your pushiness to get my signature on the voluntary union dues? Prior to the library incident, you came to my office twice, within a two week period, to get me to sign up for the voluntary dues for lobbying, which were to be taken out of my monthly check. The first time, I told you that I was not interested because I already have enough dues taken out. Percentage wise, because I am at the top of the pay scale, I have more dues taken out than the average teacher. The second time, when you threw the form on my desk, my name filled out in your handwriting was feeling a bit like strong-arming me into signing. I said, “no” the first time and “no” will always mean “no”. What do you think the union would say if they knew one of their union representatives is behaving in this manner? Don’t confuse responsibility with a false sense of power. It’s time for you to step down from your role as a union rep. Please do not contact me again on this matter unless it is with an apology. In doing so, I will consider it further harassment. Please take me off your email lists for union communication and do not email me at home.

Hey, she's free to run against me. No one does. I'm good at it. And people like me...Of course, today I did have fun walking past her office and saying in a loud voice, "Good morning, Mrs. Librarian!" Childish? Damn right! That's what's fun. Gotta keep a bit of the child alive in you. But there will be no apology. And I think she'll be gone next year anyway, as I don't think anyone gets along with her.
