I am sure that it brings one right back to feelings of childhood to get that little memo... Sorry that you are dealing with all of that!<br /><br />I loved the question and I loved your answer. I think it is wonderful when you get to the point where you can just be you and respectfully say what you mean. I'm working on that. It is not easy. Good for you! Wonderful! Many hugs,<br /><br /><3 Katie Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502903951761571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-7376339203448008982014-03-12T22:43:57.808-04:002014-03-12T22:43:57.808-04:00Terps, what a compliment!

Truly when I began teaching I was down right timid - not that any of my current colleagues believe that, but I was and it's truly been reaching my fifties that has made me feel more powerful. If the boss doesn't like what I say - it's too bad for him, but it's not my problem. Sometimes I think writing Cassie also helped me find my voice - sometimes I channel her and it's marvelous!PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-10296216442411849852014-03-12T22:41:38.198-04:002014-03-12T22:41:38.198-04:00I really don't know if he was considering my v...I really don't know if he was considering my view or just worried I'd share the letter with our superintendent and the newspaper - I could make a stink if I wanted to.

He'd get on a rant about something I disagreed with and I'd let him rattle on. When he would finally hush I'd say, "You know, you're wrong." He'd start in again and rant for another 10 minutes then I'd say again, "You know, you're wrong." I felt I was saving energy.PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-71355870314587605732014-03-12T22:31:27.692-04:002014-03-12T22:31:27.692-04:00me toome tooPKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-10495785325079320392014-03-12T22:30:54.062-04:002014-03-12T22:30:54.062-04:00I'll keep trying.I'll keep trying.PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-50056967236748090052014-03-12T22:29:41.359-04:002014-03-12T22:29:41.359-04:00I'll take anything that says I might possible ...I'll take anything that says I might possible be getting wiser.PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-23711859987136890842014-03-12T22:17:15.786-04:002014-03-12T22:17:15.786-04:00I decided to post the letter tomorrow - I share ev...I decided to post the letter tomorrow - I share everything out her, LOLPKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-34582086301733137352014-03-12T21:47:33.781-04:002014-03-12T21:47:33.781-04:00PK, I want to be just like you when I grow up (in ...PK, I want to be just like you when I grow up (in a few years...I'm not far behind) :-) Finding your voice is a powerful thing and I am glad you found yours. :-) HugsTerpsichorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704408254742966076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-63423298469597268522014-03-12T13:59:28.689-04:002014-03-12T13:59:28.689-04:00Oh, I HATE that feeling in the pit of my stomach w...Oh, I HATE that feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever a boss wants to "talk".

Still think it's time you got rid of the day job, PK. It's great being retired, even if everyone on earth then claims every minute of your day!

Good on you. Honesty is important and it's much better than bottling up how you really feel and telling someone what they want to hear ... which may not be what they 'need' to hear.<br /><br />Good on you also for writing the letter to your boss. I'm glad it resulted in you feeling better about the situation.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326826956049047973noreply@blogger.com
