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…

Called in to explain the issue – 2/2/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I received an email with the subject line, “what is the issue?” The administrator was asking what the issue is because MD “LAU” as I call her went to the head and boss of our whole department. I knew it was coming it was a matter of time, but…

Friday reflection – challenged but winning – 1/30/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. The work keeps coming and piling up. The challenges that I thought were going to cause me grief, didn’t. I am so blessed, God hears my prayers. The things that are happening I’m able to resolve and I’m greatly influencing one person at a time with my actions, not…

These are not mistakes, it’s bad leaders – 1/27/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Once again I’m going to have put out a lot of time into the next big deficit. I feel like I’ve been on the losing end since I got hired here. People don’t understand the high stakes. And the people that have made the errors over and over again…

Friday reflection – pressure on me again? – 1/23/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. What a stressful week. Boy was I getting it from every direction. What the heck is wrong with people? Had another tough week, busy, and my problem task went smooth yesterday, it worked out. And today was no exception, here we go again. The administrator tried to stress me…

It worked out – 1/22/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. MD “LAU” as I call her wants to know where the error occurred. I told her, “DD” shorted the budget and we really didn’t have those funds in October 2024 and now we’re short on funds now. I’m not sure, I wasn’t here how he didn’t pull the financial…

Like it or not – 1/21/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Busy times working on dealing with last weeks news of no budgets and having to find cost savings to deal with the shortfall of year one for 3 programs. The forecast submitted by the lead person, “DD” as I call him was shorted and now we have no funds…

Friday reflection – forced acknowledgement – 1/16/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Just because I don’t say much, doesn’t mean I don’t know. She loves to write these emails and makes comments putting people down in a “nice” way, as if we don’t know her manipulative tactics. In reality she tries to mask her ignorance and lack of knowledge, trying not…

Going with the flow despite the unknown – 1/15/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m being stretched thin. If anyone watched gumby back in the day (90’s) that’s me today. Everyone needs something from me and it hasn’t stopped since the beginning of the year, two weeks ago. I’m still in my element with more confidence each day that passes. I gladly take…

While I was out – 1/08/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I have been back to work only a couple days and my days are filled with plenty to do, nothing has changed on this topic. It’s still busy. The vacation I took for one week and a few days really shook these people. There was no movement and most…

Starting year 2 – 1/7/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I turned one year at this organization yesterday. It feels more like 5 ☺️. MD “SE” tells me today that I am an anchor. I took it as a compliment. He also has a surprise for me but it’s delayed. Whatever it might be I am grateful for the…
