Monday morning alarm ⏰ – 7/15/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. I returned to work today. It’s difficult when you are having fun the time seems to shorten when you don’t keep track. I open email and the next couple days will be busy. I haven’t been able to sleep well. I go to bed with thought of work, wake up in the middle of the night with thoughts of work, and lose sleep. It’s looking busier and this was a fear the last couple days. Then at 1pm I had my weekly meeting with my boss. He spilled the tea. Seems like it’s spill the tea time and for the future as well.

The meeting that happened with the sponsor on losing revenue and overspending was of course with the previous staff. We have been working diligently to clean it all up and not just myself. They want me to take on more work because I have been meeting deadlines and completing tasks. I guess you have to go to the busiest person if you want to get something done. Something was told to the administrator and was not nice. My boss alluded to the administrator trying to put blame on me and my boss defended me. I work hard and my boss gave me all the credit for getting in the department out of hot water.

The time and effort I have put in and avoided a disaster and stopped it in time before it got out of hand. 🤚 The organization will not have to put up $1.7M. The other half of the research team hasn’t been lucky they have already cost the department $100K. It’s not our fault. The people that have been here in a leadership role and overseeing these projects are not taking accountability. We’re all fairly new and not many of us have made a year. The leads and head of the administrative department should take the fall for it. It will take a year to get it all back on track and stable from three years ago – not an easy task. To complete one task takes a village, really!

The administrator has been in hiding 🫣, but he’s supposed to talk to me about how I feel taking on more work!? I bet he won’t he’s so busy hiding during the most difficult 😣 time. The medical doctors trust me that I get the job done. He might still doubt my skillset and blame me for something I didn’t create, he allowed to happen though, not me. He won’t want to face me for sure. He can’t bear to hear someone tell him it happened under his watch and absent leadership and allowed it without checking staff. I’m not afraid to tell him the truth. I have a feeling the door will be shut for a long time. All the Best!
