Don’t have to conform or be liked – 10/11/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. I am not liked by all because I acquired a skillset of the last 20 years. No one realizes this is not something that one is born with. I worked hard, really hard. I read, research, ask questions, and most of all care. I have put so many years into this industry. If my co-workers did the same they would understand. That’s their choice. The “click” believes I get paid too much because I get paid more than they, but really it’s not a lot. I just like what I do and one day in my shoes they would choke. I put mind and soul into pretty much everything I do. I make every attempt to make things make sense and they refuse to understand.

I thank God for my skillset. I believe in God, creator of heaven and earth. I try to pray each day although I do forget when I am in a rush. I try to think positive, be patient through challenges. It took me 2.5 days to write this journal entry as I was going through a lot of mind fog and struggling to do one long accounting entry and trying to get it right. I couldn’t, it was difficult because I kept getting confused and not focused.

Some of the younger staff are learning from each other, collaborate, introduce each other to network, and have done cross-training with them. I carry 50% of the workload for this whole department. I am building working relationship with the coordinators and help support them. They are also eager. I regained my energy that is now pulling me through to continue my journey hopefully beyond this department. All the Best!
