Feeling Comfortable in my Own Skin – Stepping Out w/o Fear
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…

Friday reflection – making progress – 4/5/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I can’t control what others think of me, but I’ll let my work speak for itself. This week I feel I made some progress. People are beginning to see the good, the work, the communication and that I do operate very transparent. I don’t know it all and I…

An ooops! Moment – 4/4/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I haven’t seen or heard from the head of the department at all and this entry is really meant to be funny. We all cause a blunder, it happens, luckily this one wasn’t a bad situation, I took it with a grain of salt. Today we had a division…

A small win – 4/1/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Today I met with an investigator, and I will take the compliment, “Ya’ll are doing the right things.” I met with the investigator on his projects today explaining to him that several important expenses were not completed and not posted properly to his projects. He was under the impression…

Friday reflection – Am I facing unwanted competition? – 3/29/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. What a week with lots of pressure. I experienced a bumpy ride this week. I will not be able to make each investigator happy or like me. It’s okay. Their ego is so high that it won’t allow them to see clearly and it’s a few of the more…

Introduced to the mean click – 3/27/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was told we had the floor for the first 15 minutes of this meeting with all the investigators and turns out we were 2nd to last!? I didn’t want to stay the whole time. Why did I feel it was going to go bad from the time I…

Unproductive – 3/25/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I feel like my day was wasted. I am a determined person, but I couldn’t get it together today or get anything done. I didn’t complete not one task. I thought I would get ahead, but it didn’t happen that way. I’m frustrated due to going from one obstacle…

Tick tock – 3/21/24
I hope everyone is doing okay today. I’m running out of time! I’m really busy and I’m being pulled into different directions. We have plenty to do, but also in a rush to get it done. Everything right now is urgent. There seems to be not enough time in one day. We need to restructure…

61 year old breakdown? – 3/19/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I had to hold my laugh and not triggered whatsoever. The investigator couldn’t hold back the emotions about her feeling regarding the organization that she is also a part of. We blunder a lot. LOL! Although I understand the impatience expressed and upset at our supposed blunders. The person…

Friday reflection – running out of time – 3/22/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. What was hidden is coming to light. It came to light at 11am. A co-worker from another department showed me some percentage effort for many employees that is outstanding. The investigators have to approve the percent of time their researchers spend on projects. The lady I had the call…

Challenges: understanding & collaborate – 3/18/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I like my independent creativity at work despite all the challenges. I command my own ship because there is no one else that has my knowledge in my department, but I also welcome the rest of the aspect of being open to change if needed. I am off to…
