When I first saw the write up on the printer, I freaked out and wrote and asked for a meeting with: HR, my boss's boss, and my boss's boss's boss. I quickly realized that last one was probably overkill and super unprofessional. He was very supportive though, here's how it went.

Subject: Re: RequestThank you. I am going to try to do what it takes to prove my competence. I know that I can do anything C--- throws at me, its just a matter of my being clear of what she wants. So by writing me up I will have it all spelled out. Its just very frustrating to work so hard and rather than being appreciated, you are told your work is sub-par. But I know its not true, and everyone else in the department has made it clear they think I am an above average employee, so Im determined not to let it get me down.
Thank you for taking an interest.

Subject: RequestThat is exactly the way to pursue this. You learn to be the best at your skill set and I am sure things will improve.

So I think I managed to turn around a potential mistake. I think I will be supported if I just try to work hard and prove myself.
