The performance review – 10/18/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I have not written my experience with performance reviews in my industry. In my opinion, these are of no use. It keeps a record of something that you show up despite you work or not. It serves no purpose because year after year my form is marked as “exceeds…

Re-align or start over? – 10/14-15/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I took a couple days off to reset completely of mind, body, and heart. I want to let go and start over. Sometimes from the worst of our experience something better might come along? I sit here thinking how many times over the years I have been behind investigators…

Friday reflection – patient rage – 10/11/24
I hope everything is okay. Here they go again with their subtle games and envy energy. It’s as if one of the two is taunting me via email. Is it the mean girls season or what? Either way the cat lady (co-worker) wants to outshine us as a team and the fact that she really…

Fighting the potential turbulence – 10/10/24
I hope everyone is dong okay. It’s coming, I see it coming already. It’s been gradually building up and there is turbulence that is on my mind. I feel it coming with the turbulence is the rift. I’m trying to hold back and drown it out. I’m being observant of the movements and holding back…

And it just went insane, but not really – 10/09/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I can’t believe what people react to and what they think stress is. People live in a bubble. Their version of reality is different from mine. I do have to laugh as they seem to believe the stress they feel is like the end of the world. The life…

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,…
