Yesterday she pulled me into her office to accuse me of stealing food (and the day before that I was written up because my hair was still wet and the day before that for not wearing hose--I work in a cublcle typing all day, I do not deal with customers, etc) and today she comes to me and says so how are you TODAY (all caps because thats what she emphasized) to which I said I am just fine TODAY (emphasizing same word) to which she said I need to see you in my office NOW. In her office she stood so close to me I could see her mascara clumps and told me that if my attitude continued she was going to write me up, that it was unprofessional and subordinate.

Didn't trust myself to say anything so I nodded, to which she said, a nod isnt going to do it, saying I understand would be appropriate.

The word she meant to use is "insubordinate."

A subordinate is a person placed in or belonging to a lower order or rank, subject to or under the authority of a superior. She most likely is trying to tell you that you need to adhere to the office rules and that you were not being subordinate and adhering to those rules.
It sounds to me that if you need the job then you better follow the rules, plain and simple. It will make your life easier and she will have nothing to nag at you about. There is no reason to make your work environment more hostile. Dress appropriately, get there on time, show respect for yourself and others in everything you do. She might actually have to compliment you... Think about that..

insubordinate means you weren't following her rules and the way she sounds i don't blame you. i'd turn her in for her behavior or start looking, quickly, for another job where your boss doesn't have a broomstick shoved up their dunghole.
