YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m in a calm state today, no stress, not pushing anything, chasing, and asking for the creation of the project accounts. I’m only doing what I can and have control over. My mental health is important and not going to give it away. There are others that do nothing while I have been stressing and overwhelmed to be sure that I do what has to get done and done correctly. People still are emailing me about accounts and I’m just ignoring them now. They think they are being witty, but if they did my job they couldn’t handle it.

MD “LAU” used to have harsh words for me and now she gives me unnecessary attention, smoothing things over by letting people know I’m the finance guru. I’m not, I just had to prove to her that I could to the job. Her comment to a new hire today was really that I am scary. I think the new hire person believed it because the look in her face said it. I responded, “You haven’t seen anything yet, but it’s always for a good cause.” LOL! Clueless now she will see the reality later on.

We’re winding down on the overspent project. We have figured out Plan A and Plan B to pay back on the overspent project with a deficit in the millions. The sponsor and I are working well together and she has seen my progress of promises made, promises kept. I have been able to show all the details necessary to nail down both plans. She supports me, approves of the way I have been presenting my work, and the transparency. I’m also trying to closeout the project that just ended on 8/31/25. I have 90 days.

I think I might have caused an internal shake up because now that I ask for something from anyone they are mostly taking action now. We’re in the middle of an audit, again. People take my emails serious now. I explain things thoroughly and the urgency of each and why it has to be on time. I’m also reminding them that we have to document everything closely not just now, but future audits. It takes more of my time, but at least the staff know why I need documents and how to keep them filed and well worth it. All the Best!
