Friday reflection – “one stop shop” – 9/5/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m super busy with plenty to do and little time. I have an audit that just popped up in the middle of closing a 20million dollar project and opening the next 26million dollar project. It’s insane the administrative burden that comes behind this. I have other projects that are smaller amounts, but these two take the cake. In between a lot of open tasks. Single-handedly I’m working on 90% of the work and it’s not easy. I feel the toll it’s going to take already.

I have only gotten little sleep that past couple days just thinking 💭 of all the work. I pray to get through it all one day at a time. I’m forced to step into new territories and I cannot say no as I am told this is part of my role, but where does it stop? No one is talking about it or answering my question about it. My first performance evaluation is coming u p and I mentioned to my boss that I could write ✍️ a book 📖 for the 1st 8 months of working here. He said to do so and I don’t think he was serious, but more shrugging off the comment. We both shared the workload has shifted toward me mostly even with tasks that don’t belong to me. We didn’t realize this department was on its last life line and he and I came in to save it. How do keep it from going under when we’re trying to save it and others are sending it down the drain financially, not on purpose, but the lack of knowledge.

I will think of what to say because there is so much, the truth. There is a little envy and eyes on me I can 👁️ feel it and see it, but I ignore it. Others have told me too. An assistant made a comment to me the other day that I sound like Cinderella 😊. It’s not that serious, but I have done a lot of administrative clean up. 🧹 People don’t know how I do it, but that’s a secret power, but they don’t ask either and that’s the difference. I’m sure they think if they learn they will have to do more? Not sure. I have to remember to take care of me too, it’s too much for one person 🧍‍♀️. All the Best!
