| one nasty email spoils the whole d@mn day |

I don't want to rehash it all here, but today would've been a really good day. I was prepared when called on in my morning class, I had a lot of fun with a lot of stuff at work that I can't talk about because of the NDA, I picked up my drycleaning and it cost less than $20 for the whole suit plus mending the pants, and I had my most enjoyable class this evening -- my music law class.
Yet I feel like I had an absolutely horrible day all because one person decided to be mean in an email and accuse me of all sorts of poor character traits simply because I asked a couple questions. (and of course I picked it up right before my music law class, so I was preoccupied all through class and couldn't have fun there)
While *I* know who I am, and I'm not the person she accused me of being, I'm ready to quit my position on the board of that campus group (the email was from the president of the group and it was considering a group-related activity) simply because I refuse to be treated that way. Yet, somehow I feel like quitting would prove her point, so I feel like I can't do that. I hate that I'm letting her email dictate my response to it, but I don't know what else I can do.
I responded to it respectfully, pointing out where she was incorrect in her assumptions and apologizing for a few specific things I said or did which may have been confusing to her (and apologized only for the confusing nature of them, not for having said or done them), and suggested that she check herself and treat people more respectfully when all they did was to ask reasonable questions.
bah. I'll probably be writing a whole tirade (including her email and my email that it was a response to, and possibly my response to her as well) in my LJ later on, but I don't have the energy tonight, and I still have to study for my class tomorrow morning.
To think... she accuses me of being lazy because I've got so much else I have to do that I can't spend 5 hours sitting at a table by myself babysitting law students making valentines cards. (if other people were there, we could take turns... but no --- it's gotta be just me because I'm the only board member available. Did she think about contacting group members who weren't on the board? of course not. that's what I'm doing tonight -- attempting to solicit some last-minute help for that 5 hour shift tomorrow, since I know I won't be there the whole time).
... and I really didn't mean to let this get that long... ... heh, oh well. |
