You see, your honor, it's like this.
For two and a half years I have been working on a project called Common Assessments. Recently we also added in District Determined Measures. Today I found out that all of my hard work has gone down the drain. Well here, judge for yourself.
Me: Here are the completed common assessments you wanted.
Him: Great, but this isn't really what I wanted.
Me: What DO you want?
Him: Well, I don't really want this.
Me: Then what do you want that isn't this?
Him: I don't know what I want.
Me: So, you don't want what I made, and you don't know what you want. What do you want me to do?
Him: I want you to do anything you want!
(Not anything because right now anything I want might involve playground justice and duct tape.)
Today in a meeting, after working for years to try and read the boss's mind, and after years of getting submitted finished products shot down over and over, my immediate supervisor pulls up a website that has all of the common tests and regulated learning procedures that the big boss truly believes will be a fix-all for the children. I wonder why this website was not shown to us sooner, like maybe within the last two and a half years.
I open my mouth to voice this concern, but all that falls out are expletives. I sound like Charlie Brown's teacher as a crackhead. It's amazing even to me how many times I can creatively weave the F-word into a simple sentence.
Oh, I'm quite certain that I harmed someone's fragile constitution with my foul-mouthed diatribe.
But put yourselves in my shoes -- I'm running, running, running as fast as I can with no track lane and no direction, and this guy wonders why I can't keep pace?
Dude, you are the biggest fucking douche, and I think that's about the safest thing you'll hear me let fly. The rest of it I cannot even repeat here, it's that bad.
So, yes, your honor, while I did indeed swear and I did indeed show disrespect to both my immediate supervisor and the big boss (behind his back), it was and still is completely justified.
With that, the defense rests.
