I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s difficult to navigate through challenges. For me it’s happening now. I have to be careful though because I want to bulldoze my way on my own to get things done, but I can’t, I have to navigate quietly through this and follow their instructions. My mind is a chaos right now because the problem is not going away. I want to call out the people that allowed this to happen, nope. 🙂‍↔️ I have to be strong, be careful at how I react and respond to everyone and each conversation had. I have been in other work battles, but this one takes the cake. The best thing to do at the moment is to quiet the mind and stay quiet until I am able to resolve this problem I won’t quit and I hope to end all this and we all learn a lesson.

The report was due today to the sponsor of the project I oversee. I had to start the finance review a day ago because apparently my file was either corrupted or I missed something?! Finally got it together and reviewed with my boss not that it was of any use. I had a 2-day turnaround for this forecast. At 11:30am the program had an additional $4.2 million to drop on the forecast and I was so frustrated. They don’t understand the pressure, it’s after all not them, but me. It couldn’t be that easy of course. The sponsor told us that was not possible? I was surprised because I confirmed with the doctor before I submitted my forecast. Come to find out it was $2.2M per year, not $4.2M per year. This made a difference. I was waiting for their breakdown with the details of what $2.2M is supposed to pay for each year, 2 years and nothing. Nothing came for almost 3 hours. The clock was ticking. I sent an email at 4pm and asked for the breakdown. Finally, I submitted the forecast at 4:52pm, 7 minutes before my deadline. The doctor took the blame and I thank her for it because I am only a numbers person, not a program or business operations. Embarrassing because the external partners see that we don’t work together and we don’t have our stuff together. All the Best!
