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…

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…

Friday reflection – sharing through differences – 5/1/26
Hope everyone is doing okay. Today was eerily quiet at work. I guess they are all tired of having debates with me. I’m used to the chaos and busy work. Not sure if others are off today or it’s the weather since it’s been raining non-stop for almost 24hours straight. I had a couple tasks…

An apology – 4/30/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Wow! I didn’t ask for one, and I got an apology unexpectedly. I only separated myself from the energy, continued working, went silent because I had to make my point that I would not continue doing other’s tasks as I did voluntarily and I was the one who was…

Transparency – 4/29/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. MD “LAU” and Director 1 have been going back and forth with me via email which is not productive when you have a lot of ground to cover. I asked for a meeting, they refuse and I am forced to respond via email. My emails get missed or ignored…

Friday reflection – lost my cool – 4/24/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. What a day! I had 2 situations that I had to deal with that might be difficult to handle for some, but not for me. I am so glad I learned people, reactions, postures, and habits. Patterns are important and knowing how to navigate through the many attitudes is…
