Hi, everyone.................well, the shite has finally hit the fan...........I'm meeting with the Superintendent, head of personnel and my boss today at 1:00 over the "comment/incident" of February 25, 2004. I will have union representation with me........my union steward and the President of the union. The comment was personally inappropriate and I'm sorry it ever came out of my mouth. The only defense I have is that I was angry at the time and stressed with some heavy personal stuff. I could lose my job over this. Of course, that paranoid little voice in my head is screaming at me that that is exactly what is going to happen, but, others have predicted anything from a range of a written reprimand in my file to a one day suspension. To go into all the dynamics of how the "administrative branch" works would be exhausting right now.........but, from things I've heard and seen in the past, I believe that the decision has already been made and discussed amongst them and this meeting is a mere formality. I'm pretty depressed and numb right now..........I vacillate between that state and a kind of hopeless hopefulness?? Anyways, please at 1 pm eastern USA time the meeting will take place and anyone who can send me some energy and positive vibes would be great!
Hugs,
Terri
