An assertive start ...
Of course it never goes as well as the script and scene inside your head, but my first foray into assertiveness was positive. I made quite clear that while I am agreeing to take on these responsibilities, because hush-hush I wanted to work with students in the classroom over the more mundane administrative duties this semester, the division of labor was not equitably agreed upon. Rather several people were given choices while others were left with the scraps. This of course was met with the guilty party staring at their feet, finally called on the mat for over a year of similar bullshit. I said my peace and the conversation ended at this point. While I was initially disappointed in my self, as I said the script was much more elaborate and pithy and smart, and I am still angry at this scheming cunt, it is out there. Actually, next week's staff meeting is where specific duties will be divided up, and here I will be able to point out the disparity in the tasks assigned. And I will clearly demonstrate this disparity and I will clearly tell my "team" member that I am not helping her. So an assertive start ... but more to follow.

A good start, I would say.
