Letting stupid things get to me

Well call me over sensitive, I hate it when I feel like this, shattered. Tonight I went to a school council meeting, our treasurer is living at the end of the year and does a wonderful job. And someone has to take it over next year. As well the school and our office person are learning a new accounting programwhich is really stressing her out. Anyway during the meeting I offered to meetwith the trainging lady and the office person to work out what reports could be printed off that would be appropriate for school council, the principal took it the wrong and shot me down in flames and told me that the office person was under a lot of pressure and that it wasnt my job to interfear with the office ladys stuff - I have never heard him ever speak to anyone like that in school council and I felt like a little child in front of a class room full of people and humiliated. Only trying to help because understand the treasury is always very difficult for everyone, and I just thought the the lady that does the training, I would be able to say we just want a report that gives balances and reconciled expenditure and reciepts/payment. that is simple. Anyway I know it is all silly, and not what he said it was the way he snapped and the tone he said it in. The worst thing is that I just makes me feel like crying, something so stupid can make me feel so dumb and I feel like I overstepped the mark but all in good intention, how can you be on a finance committe if you dont understand the ins and out of it all, if you cant read what is handed to you.
Stupid I know. And sitting here with tears rolling down my face, I feel like a chld that is in trouble for something they didnt even mean to do.
Anyway I hope everyone has had a good day.
