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…

Our reputation – 5/26/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. We had our major budget meeting today with our sponsor. This budget is to carry us through the next 3 years of project work and patient support. We were grilled. It was touchy at some points. Even our head of the department was put on the spot. It seemed…

Someone else’s turn – 5/20/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. What is happening around here? Everyone is on edge, short-tempered, and picking very petty topics to be upset about. Here we go, MD “LAU” finds another thing to complain about. Ten minutes straight she went on a rant about the rental space. I’m used to her being harsh with…

The pressure is on – 5/18/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. The pressure is on and it’s about to get real tough. I have never had to face off, but I know I have some support, that’s the hope. I lost any fear and not going into the background just that easy. These two drama women will not win. They…

Friday reflection – nothing but the truth – 5/15/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I had no choice but to drop truth bombs today. Let them fall where they may. I’m okay with either being fired or walk away. I won’t let anyone lie and pronounce my name in the same sentence. The sponsor sent the budget back for correction and answer some…

My co-workers battle – 5/14/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Sweet lady, very giving, and I have worked closely with her and I help her willingly, it’s a give and take. She was so worried today that she had done something wrong. Why? I ask. She explained someone emailed her about not meeting deadlines and she was confused. She…

Too nice?! – 5/13/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I do too much for others outside my official role. I always extend a hand to assist others and help when they ask and get them ahead. I ask myself, “Do I have a tattoo on my forehead that asks to come to me I will help you?” I…

Potential shake up – 5/12/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was holding off writing about this topic because I wanted to know how it would play out. It started with the sponsor asking met to meet. She returned the budget almost completely different than what I submitted back on 4/15/26. This budget was previously submitted to support a…

Friday reflection – my work on display – 5/08/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. MD “S” asked me to assist him with a new program budget forecast and to show whether the program will make a deficit or surplus in the next 10 years. I didn’t mind helping because that’s what MD’s do we’re there to support them. Some are really nice that…

Missed the party – 5/6/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. It is not easy to agree with me or to agree with the ideas of others. I try to be flexible. Working for MD’s and managers is confusing because they want one thing one day and change their mind the next. We’re in agreement with most of how I’m…

Results through strength – 5/4/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. My boss, dotted line, “SE” is happy with my work. I kept the faith. God is great. God gave me the strength to take information that came from an outside source and pull it all in without asking questions. All the previous jobs I’ve held culminated in being able…
