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…

The change that is ignored – 9/19/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I notice that the people that do nothing to make change get the promotion and the ones that work hard and are actually qualified to promote are not. We are often forced to be stuck, sabotage, and talk about us. I try not to think that this is happening…

Ready to give it a go – 9/18/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am no longer liking commuting in. The thought of my drive came to me today, should I stay or should I go? And then investigator #2 happens and it brings confirmation of my thought. Investigator #2 is on the attack again. I’ve made a decision to walk away…

The stress of the gossip – 9/17/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I do gossip, we all do. As I’ve gotten older I do it less.

As I begin to feel a good flow, this energy pulls me back! – 9/16/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. How do I even begin to explain how my day went today? When I begin to think that we are about to make progress something else has to pull me back and make me feel stuck again! I have been working from a practical and common sense point of…

Someone is satisfied I’m going through challenging times – 9/15/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Someone is satisfied I have a lot of pressing tasks. I see it when she comes by to talk to me and I don’t have time to talk because I’m busy. She’s showing off and making it obvious to my face. I had time to reflect and do a…

Friday reflection – sacrificing myself and unlucky – 9/13/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. People are really comfortable. I started the week on a high through mid-week and now I’m tired, beat up, dumped on and they are all have gone to travel, party, and forget about work for the weekend while I have to still work to get caught up. I’m drained.…

Dropped the bomb on me! – 9/12/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I wasn’t prepared for the bomb that dropped, and I almost fell off my chair, sitting down. Thinking back, I didn’t really have to think of how fast and how much is coming across my desk. What is going on? I have never had this happen in my career,…

Race to the finish line – 9/11/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m tired, I have worked another 10-hour work day. I’m pushing through one day at a time to submit documents for a settlement on behalf of investigator #5. Why do I have to go through this, it feels like I’m the only one that this happens to. The project…
