Explanation for previous post:
I call my boss the human lightening bolt. She'sgoing a thousand miles an hour doing 18million things and if you brushup against her you'll get a NASTY shock.
Needless to say, being her secretary is hard and stressful work.Because she has no time to do her job properly with everything she'staken on, I get a shit load dumped on my desk. Including things thatare her job, like writing up 504 plans (think special ed plans, but notfederally funded and for kids with more manageable disabilities)
She talks alot about things she wants done. Like the centralprogress report printer. So, this summer, since I was working tech, Iset it up. Did I get any thanks for it? Of course not! I get a 'It'sabout time that got done! It was suppose to be done two years ago!' Twomonths later, she lectures me about doing it without her sayso.Neverthemind that when I did it, I was not on her payroll or in herdepartment.
Another thing she talked about alot was setting a standard format forall the progress reports since they range from 'Useless due to lack ofinformation' to 'How in crap do you read this?' So, nothing's gettingdone, nothing's getting done, I don't even get a vague 'Oh yeah, we'regoing talk about that at the meeting next week' acknowledgment ofwhat's going on. So, I talked to the other 3 department secretariesthat deal with progress reports. I had each of them write down whatneeded to be on the reports, and sign their names. Then I found whichformat incorporated all that information, brought it up to the techhead and had him make that be the recommended format. Then I had theguidance secretary, who handles the all staff emails regarding theprogress reports, send an email to everyone saying 'Please use thisformat for all your progress reports!'
Today, I got bitched at for that.
I've been slowly getting more and more fed up with her, between hernot seeming to get done what she needs to so that I can process thepaperwork, not knowing how to use the program she's suppose to be usingto build the 504 plans (She types them up in her own way and tells meto cut and paste into the program she's suppose to be using.) and theutter lack of any support or any positive reinforcement. I think I'vegotten maybe... 5 or 6s 'Hey, you did real good with that'encouragements in the nearing two years I've worked with her.
She's been getting more and more on my ass lately about having to spendevery bloody second of my day doing ONLY 504 work. Noone else in theschool has this limitation. Guidance does favours for 504. SPED doesfavours for 504. EST does favours for 504. But I'm not allowed to doany return favours for them because it's "not an efficient use of (my)time" I have to do ONLY what she tells me. I cannot make ANY decisionson my own. I'm not even allowed to have an opinion on how my time isbest spent!
And now she's chewing me out for doing my job and telling me I'm givingher attitude. My "attitude" is me defending myself and expressing anopinion and not being her yes man.
I'm so sick of her shit. She now wants to go down to the head ofspecial ed (her direct boss and my indirect boss whom I'm apparentlynot allowed to talk to) and chew me out to her too.
And I'm not just going to sit and take it. I'm through doing that. I'mdone with putting up with everything due to my job description being sogoddamned vague that it boils down to doing whatever she tells me to.I'm pretty damned sure the special ed head will be on my side becauseshe's not blind. She knows what my boss is like.
I am GOING to speak my mind. I don't care if she fires me. I've beenworking long enough I can get unemployment until I find a better job.
I'm done with her.
