Pardon me...

...for giving a shit.

District Commander Jones,
Words cannot express the utter disappointment I felt after our conversation last shift. I reviewed it in detail and still can come to no other conclusion than you are directing me to drop the matter and "get over it". I reviewed the original memo and found nothing accusatory, demeaning or negative. It is simply a statement of fact and a suggestion and was properly written in a respectful fashion. Nothing more, nothing less.

Obviously, it ruffled some feathers at administration. It is apparent by your statements, that the era of input, participative management and management/labor cooperation is drawing to a close. This is unfortunate, as the two groups have worked hard to maintain a good working relationship, efforts which have produced many wonderful things.

I am aware that we are like any other governmental agency, however I find the thought that we have to accept waste, inefficiency and the status-quo repugnant. I feel we should be better than that.

I'm just sayin'
