She is probably envious your abilities.

Here's my responce..."Sent it to me in an e-mail so I can delete it.."

Nothing that a good "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" won't cure.
If it were me I'd drop it and walk away, It sounds like she can handle the whole thing herself...give her all the rope she needs to hand herself....then give a good yank!

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

Once upon a time in a career far far away I had a supervisor who treated everybody like that. SHe was awful.

SO I decided to help out her career. I did absolutely everything I could to make her look GREAT! yup you heard me I made her look like a freaking genius. I told everyone levels up how wonderful she was. I gave her credit for everything. And after a few months I succeeded!

She got promoted and moved out of my hair!! Woo Hoo! They even relocated her to another state! Snicker! Never saw her again.

That's the thing - she's NOT. She's a prof and I'm staff but not a sectretary (complicated situation). She couldn't do this class w/o me & my contacts, plus all the work I put into the darn thing.

I'm just trying to let it go. She drives me nuts but I've heard through the grapevine that she drives everyone bonky.

UPDATED:

I open my email this morning and see this:

subject: If you would like...
....you are welcome to go see (PR guy) to see if he has any ideas for publicizing (Bigwig)...and to follow up on these. You have pretty much all the info I do and it was a good idea.

Oh gee. Thank you, oh almighty goddess who is not my boss or even remotely related to anything resembling a supervisor.

I laughed. Seriously, the email made me sputter.

I suppose that's as close to an apology as I'll get. But now I have no intention of talking to PR Guy, because I have WAY too many other responsibilities to address.

I had time, which I offered and was denied rudely. Now that time is no longer available.

Ahhh... academia...

Sorry she's being a snot. I see other faculty members doing that at my school. It's like teaching elevates them to god status. They seem to forget that we would grind to a screeching halt without the other people that work in the department. In fact, our secretary just quit to take a better job (she was bottom of the food chain here) and literally things just stopped. Nobody knew how to do ANYTHING!

Know that some of us professor types love you and appreciate your work.

Oh I would be a bit concerned- it sounds like she is turfing the project BACK to you. You will have to make it clear to her that you will not be talking to PR guy that she must. If you don't and she doesn't, the ball will get dropped and she will make sure you get the blame.

But I told Jenn to do it... *whips out email* see...

That would be VERY appropriate!

In the beginning, God created man.

Then man pulled God's finger. That's the real reason we were expelled from Eden.
