Oh FFS. They are calling school again tomorrow. At this point a) Emeline will be in the 4th grade FOREVER and 2) I will never get to work!!
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I am now envisioning a tall, skinny, teenage Emeline in 4th grade.
I think it is a totally legit way to...well, to NOT handle things. Maybe not a GOOD way, but...um, yeah.
...I did finally read it. It basically said "We were told you did this thing, you aren't supposed to do that thing, that was Very Bad, and we will be telling your manager in our next meeting with her".
...ugh. On the one hand, that drags the pain out (and makes my meeting next Monday morning with my manager even more dreaded, and less of a good time to ask about the advanced training I was supposed to be submitted for, damnit!!!). On the other hand, at least it's not saying "and now we have to bring other departments into this to make an inquiry/report"? Still feel sick. Ugh ugh ugh.

Was it a thing you did on accident or thought you were supposed to do?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
agrees with brenda 100%.

brenda, btw, you can quote my last post in your performance evaluation for this year.

It's a thing that technically I shouldn't have done, but normally wouldn't have been a big issue (SOMEONE is supposed to do it, but not me--in many cases, the person would've been "oh, yeah, let me do that again in an official way", or possibly "Hey, you shouldn't do that, please don't again, let me do it officially"), but in this case the people are awful to deal with, and in bitching about other stuff I was asking them to do, decided to fight back by being like "OMG she did this!". So, yeah.
(And I'm not really sure what to say to my manager about it, other than "yeah, thinking about it I shouldn't have done it, and it was something of a brainfart for me to do it, rather than just tell them to do it, but they were being useless and not doing anything I told them so I wanted to see if it existed before I added it to the long list of things for them to do")

Punishingly Intricate
I think a slightly revised version is what you say to your boss. something like "I wasn't sure if they did it so I did. I realize that was a mistake." Definitely bring it up before they do.
