As I sit here getting tipsy on a mediocre Pinot Noir, it has occured to me that I am a bitch. I love picking a fight especially when I know I am right and can get someone in trouble. I have never been one to shy away from getting somebody reprimanded for not doing their job. I especially relish telling others they are wrong. Is this weird? Is this just the wine?

Last June, my friend John agreed to teach a set of my classes. After going through the proper channels of reporting this substitution, so that he get paid instead of me, I inadvertently got paid for the classes he taught. Fast forward to December and I get a call from my "supervisor" at the group exercise office telling me that my paycheck was going to be garnished for these classes.

I got my paycheck, in which I was supposed to be garnished, and noticed that the full amount was not deducted from my check. As a matter of fact, only one-third of the expected amount was removed from my paycheck. For some reason, I decided to contact the group exercise office to inform them of this error. My "supervisor" asked me to fax her my paystub so that she could check to make sure that I was correct.

First of all, who the fuck has a fax machine available for their use immediately? Second, since when was it my job to do the legwork to make sure that money gets deducted from my paycheck? Out of the goodness of my heart (hee hee!), I contacted them to inform them of the extra money that I received on my check. And I am supposed to fax my fucking paystub to her so that she can tell me if I am right about that fact?!?!?!?!? Bitch, I know how to read my fucking paystub! Furthermore, I am not the one losing out on cash. Contact your fucking payroll department and find out who fucked up.

Well, I decided to email a complaint to my supervisor's supervisor, who happens to be an old friend. I thought that this would be the end of it. This evening, I was "cc'd" a letter from my supervisor asking payroll to check on this discrepancy. Apart from this CC'd email being unnecessary, the information she sent the payroll department was absolutely incorrect. This made me more furious because it was obvious that she did not pay attention to what the problem was.

So, I shot out an email to all the parties involved stating the correct information and, in the most honey-dripped scarcastic tone, informed them that "out of the goodness of my heart, I was just trying to make sure that they did not lose any money because of an error in reporting the payroll." I expect to be called in to be reprimanded for actions.

For some reason, I could not just leave good enough alone. I saw an opportunity to get this specific person in trouble and pounced on it. Lately, many other instructors have complained about the arrogance and stupidity of my supervisor. I have not been the brunt of it until this incident. For some reason, I relished really "sticking it to her and twisting the knife further in." Am I evil? Should I not have sent the email correcting her? Should I drink more wine? Later.
