The work of team – 2/13/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I hadn’t known what teamwork is for a while until I got to this organization. Oh boy! I am exhausted, busy, so much being thrown at me. I am resilient and persistent too. I won’t give up. The best part is that there is teamwork. This is so important…

The need for change- 2/12/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The need is high to make changes. It seems we’re all just working and that’s okay. We’re all working for the same cause, but we’re working without structure. It’s challenging when you’re learning new systems, catching up with tasks that were not resolved, and then a new cycle of…

Getting slammed and no focus time – 2/4/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Whew! I got slammed today, oh my gosh! I was already a bit behind and now due to this lingering report that won’t go away I can’t make progress. I’m bombarded with meetings that I think I shouldn’t have to attend. I’m slow at working through tasks because I’m…

Too slow and on the same topic, again – 2/3/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I feel a little stuck. A report that I submitted to the sponsor came back with discrepancies and I’ve already been working on the finance variance for a couple days. I hope tomorrow is the last day that I have to work on it. We cannot stay on the…

Friday reflection- getting over the hump at work & sisterly time – 1/31/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It was a busy and productive week. Thank you God, very grateful. I was able to pick up on situations and make sense of the finances. I try to see things from a simple perspective and not complicate anything. I am exhausted and got through the challenges upon me.…

Minutes left today Thursday – 1/30/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. With 30 minutes left before I go to bed I am journaling the past 2 days at work just now. It’s 8:30pm and I just sat down and have one hour to myself. It’s been a hectic week. I was nearly in a fetal position feeling exhausted, but I…

Wacky Wednesday – 1/29/15
I hope everyone is doing okay. Back into action today. Another day of budgets training and most of it didn’t make sense to me with all the acronyms. At noon I began entering payroll for people who are working on a new project for the next budget year’s forecast. The day prior I attended a…

Tornado Tuesday – 1/28/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am trying to keep up. Last week’s snow storm didn’t help now because everyone is probably trying to get back on track. I keep getting tasks without a lot of direction. I hear my outlook email ding once again and I cringe because it’s most likely something else…

Friday reflection – showcasing my knowledge – 1/24/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Today there was an impromptu meeting and propelled me into the spotlight. I had to sort of showcase my findings on what was going on with the medical projects for one medical investigator from the financial aspect. I have attempted to take every step to listen, learn, and pick…

Grateful for snow days – 1/22/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I had one day off, Monday, it’s a federal holiday MLK Day. It got pretty bad, pretty quick with the weather. We had precipitation and black ice overnight followed by snow. We don’t see snow often. Our vehicles are not built to drive through ice or snow. Our office…
