He added that Mrs. Lopresti had testified to that at the last hearing because that's basically what she thought Lisa's job was. Lisa concurred with his statements. Attorney Stone asked Lisa to tell the Commission why she felt it was necessary to ask for 20 minutes compensatory time after reading a book at home to improve her skills. Lisa explained that the week before Mr. King had suggested it, Mrs. Lopresti had told her that she wanted her to take the book home over the weekend and read it. Lisa had explained to Mrs. Lopresti that she had a 5 - chapter test coming up at IRCC and "there was no way that I could take the book home that weekend; any other time I would be glad to take it home and study it on my personal time."

They were constantly asking her what she was doing. So, she turned in her office key, because she felt they were harassing her. After turning in her key to Mrs. Albin, Lisa informed her that she would be unable to gain access to the office the next morning unless Mrs. Albin was there to let her in. Mrs. Albin acknowledged this and was not there at 8 o'clock. Lisa stated that she arrived at 7:40 in the morning, and Mr. Wright let her in at 7:45. The following day, she was there at 7:55 and Mrs. Snoberger let her in at 8:07. Attorney Stone asked if there was any other way she could have gotten into the building, and Lisa responded that "there were plenty. of other accesses to get into the office building, but I 19 Boa . 94 p rr April 24, 1995
