Feeling Comfortable in my Own Skin

Growing up (we) my family and I didn’t have much. My siblings and I were bullied, and I didn’t have a lot of friends because I was too afraid to be hurt by anyone else. I didn’t trust anyone, and I kept quiet to not attract any attention to myself. I never knew why I…

Why does it matter? – 11/26/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Most times I can read a person based on their work experience by what they focus on, what’s important to tackle, their priorities, and attitude handling situations whether good or bad. The Sr Manager was out of the office for a while and recently returned a little over a…

Not interested – 11/25/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. This place is pretty bad and being nice hasn’t worked. I’m not exaggerating when I make the statement. Leadership is non-existent, the inexperience is a lot worse than what I thought. People are not interested in learning, but want someone else to do the job for them. They don’t…

Finally, an answer – 11/24/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I keep getting hammered, no break in sight. MD “LAU” is on the attack again and this time it was directly at me. She covers up for her Director that plainly I don’t know what she does because I have been filling a vacant position that reports to the…

Friday reflection – get over it; let’s get to work – 11/21/25
I hope you are doing okay. I’m behind on my blog. Today is January 23, 2026. As I’m writing this entry we are at 37 degrees and rainy. We’re supposed to get icy conditions and will be un drivable. In my city our vehicles weren’t built to drive in snow or ice conditions. Our fireplace…

Push the darn button! – 11/20/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. These people are trying to give me anxiety! Oh my gosh! We were trying to figure out why our system was charging additional administrative fees for a category that should not charge a fee at all. By law, it’s a rule to not. I gave the finance team instruction…

Pushing limits – 11/19/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. There are quite a few open fires or in other words work concerns either my responsibility or a support role. Very workflow and movement to complete these is dragging. I guess the holiday season hit early this time around. The high ego’s and wanting things done their way is…

In a calm state, the other side is upset – 11/17/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The air is clearing at work. I feel I have made my point at work and put the proper boundaries up for one group after my work was undervalued. I am still trying to work through getting over the recent past and also the stitches in my mouth don’t…

Friday reflection – grateful & healthy – 11/14/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am grateful at the end of this week because I do see I have support and I acknowledge the value I bring. I do this for me and the important work that is still to be done in the support of mental health. I’m not one to give…

Advocating for myself – 11/12/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. In this place you are on your own. If something isn’t working out for you then it’s tough luck. The mantra should be “You are on your own if you want to work here.” People are hesitant to support. I probably only have had about five people at one…

Incoming reinforcements – 11/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The “corner” as I call the higher ups all sit in one section which is the corner of the floor, away from all the chaos with their doors shut is what I call them. The click that consists of 4-6 that really don’t have the experience to hold their…
