Well, I have to pull my hair back. The person who noticed is high up enough and just plain dumb enough to make my life hell over this. You know the sort -- the one who blames everyone for everything and never contributes, whose sole management purpose is to yell at other people and has the power to make them miserable.

However, they also won't do this directly, but go through my director -- eseentially ordering her to write me up, etc. Obviously not an position my director would appreciate me putting her in.

Unfortunately it's way too easy for the responsible person to cover her tracks just by claiming she didn't see any other people with their hair down that day. It's obviously false bull, but not provably so. Which puts me without much recourse, and thus why I say pursuing it would be less productive than other paths I ought to be taking right now.
