In a calm state, the other side is upset – 11/17/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. The air is clearing at work. I feel I have made my point at work and put the proper boundaries up for one group after my work was undervalued. I am still trying to work through getting over the recent past and also the stitches in my mouth don’t help. I’m doing a lot of self-care.

I am a good person and I’m sure I hurt people’s ego’s. I don’t like to call people out, but I had to stand up for myself too. I command respect just as I give it to them voluntarily. I outperform the “corner” and I am not going to stay silent any longer. I earned my stripes of leadership and I carry the scars. I was diplomatic, prepared, and direct without disrespect. I am calm and laying low now due to my health and keeping strong so I can keep working.

MD “LAU” as I call is not happy. We received a new contract for the technology part of the mental health piece and there is a lot more work coming, reporting, and financial reporting. She is trying to push back and if I were her I would leave it as is and get to work. I doubt we will win this part of doing less work. We asked for it by not keeping track, compliance, and overspending. She wasn’t happy because the budget she requested wasn’t awarded, but I’m sure we can work through it, but for now she doesn’t want to hear it and plans to complain to the sponsor. Yikes! I’ll leave that alone. All the Best!
