YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay. Here we go again. It feels like I’m starting over. I felt the tidal wave coming and it’s here dumping an enormous project on my lap. I worked all day and under pressure. I put out one fire and other pops up. This will take a while. This is the sole thing I worked on today and had to put everything else on hold.

I’m working on an urgent financial report that will be tied to a settlement with a sponsor. Investigator #5 put me to work today, 12-hour workday. My report has to be put together manually. It sucks. The supervisor cannot do one darn thing but waste my time. She didn’t go to bat for me of addressing timeline and structure. I had to ask myself and I got push back that I couldn’t overrule when I don’t have support. I have competing tasks and this one cannot supersede the rest, all are important. The supervisor didn’t even offer to help, not even to pull all the financial reports from the system that could’ve helped me save time. She’s pulling reports that are irrelevant and completely lost.

I had to go through my notes, the co-worker notes, paper emails, and analyze the reports with little direction and information. My patience was tested and being asked over and over again if my financial report was ready. “I’m not done, I’ll let you know, no need to continue asking.” And if they want to take it over, go ahead. I have plenty of everything else to work on. There’s information coming to me fast from various projects I’m working on. I’m trying to avoid the tension and friction and not showing emotion, but I’m really not happy because there’s deadlines for other tasks and this project was not planned.

There’s no competition from the supervisor at the moment to butt in. She does it when it’s not necessary and tries to steal my thunder when it’s insignificant. She’s running and hiding from this mess of work. Creating something new under pressure is really not the best scenario to have, but I was able to create the excel workbook and it makes senses to me and can explain it. If they don’t like my elaborate excel workbook they can work on their own. All the Best!
