Friday reflection – important relationship week – 10/04/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. This week was packed with a lot of talking and sharing information. It was a good week, understanding, and a hopeful turning point. I met new people both in and away work at festivals, community meetings, tried new food and desserts. I have to be careful that I also…

The cold shoulder for a cold person – 9/25/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Lately, it hasn’t failed for the supervisor to subtly assert herself toward me or feel uncomfortable around me. What is going on? I’m too busy to deal with her. She has tried to assert herself as the boss but doesn’t have her facts straight. She tried to “show me”…

A little bit of a lot – 10/03/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’ve been involved in so many conversations and feel like I’ve been asked for my advice, and it’s been a lot lately. It’s a good thing, but I also don’t want to do too much. I went from being silent to doing a lot more of talking. I’m meeting…

I didn’t have to, but I did. – 10/02/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I had a good weekend and been having a pretty good week and busy with family events. I did procrastinate today, but I have been tied up each Wednesday morning with a required research training. It’s not at all training, more of a high-level processes and workflow. It does…

Why is it important who’s right? – 10/01/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. As a leader you should be able to manage disagreements, hear both sides of one story, not tell us who’s right. Why do you take sides? Part of being a leader is to be intelligent to find solutions to issues, not to put blame unless someone steals, loses money,…

Friday reflection – trusting relationships – 9/27/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. This week was not all only challenges but a different side of me came out. I had people line up to work, chat, ask for my advice, and thank me for my work. Most people were delighted and enjoy working with me. This is what I’m about, what sets…

Beating the competition? – 9/26/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I didn’t know that someone was competing with me for the last few days and I didn’t even have to compete and it came to light during a meeting today and it didn’t sit well with the supervisor. I started the day in a bad mood almost immediately because…

What sets us apart – 9/24/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I have come to understand what sets us apart. My communication and passion I bring to this job. I thought that she was taking care of this task. I inherited the corporate card expense reports beginning this month. It all has come crashing down on her. I come out…

The work life I live – 9/23/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I wonder why someone would be jealous of my work life? She obviously doesn’t know much about me, my struggles, my setbacks, and challenges. Just because I make it look easy on the outside doesn’t mean it is for me. Why does it give her satisfaction that I’m struggling…

Friday reflection – A little calm finally comes! 9/20/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. After a long and drawn out situation of spending on a project that had not budget, with a debt, and conversations we have a plan and submitted a settlement letter and dollar amount to the sponsor. The sponsor accepted the scope of work and research completed so now we…
