On the eve of my Birthday – Personal – 7/12/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m overwhelmed – I cannot concentrate on anything else because I’m mentally focused on my health. I feel like I’m failing myself. I have been back and forth with the cardiologist who keeps testing, finding nothing and forcing me to drive for absolute nonsense. I ask for an explanation…

All the struggles and challenges are around me and I refuse to make them mine. “Leadership in essence is ordering priorities, allocating resources, and managing time.” – Dr. Lucas D.

Accountability – 7/5/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. This is just scratching the surface. I opened up the teams task to find so many unresolved tasks that I can’t even figure out where to begin. Very simple tasks that should not take months to figure out and close out. As long as there is no consistent workflow…

Hello, hope everyone is doing okay. What a chaotic week. As I think back I felt overwhelmed and hadn’t felt broken in so long.

I was set up – 6/27/23

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing okay. It’s completely funny now, it didn’t even upset me. I frowned at what this organization spends their technology dollars on.

Friday Reflection – Word of Advice – 6/23/23 & 6/26/23

Hello, I hope everyone is doing okay. My co-worker calls me to make fun of me right away. I did a “test” presentation on Wednesday, 6/21/23 for the first time so that my boss could critique me. This test was to prepare me to begin communicating with investigators on only the financial topics that matter…

Friday Reflection – At Lunch Today – 6/23/23

Hello, I hope everyone is doing okay. Today we went to lunch, the finance group. We’re all fairly new to the organization and the Director treated us to lunch. I was excited to get out and talk to people. I work remote so I don’t talk to co-workers as I would if I were in…

“Out of Sight, Out of Mind” – 6/22/23

Hello, I hope everyone is doing okay. I feel like I can’t catch up with my blog, but I’m definitely journaling. Work is crazy, but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m still behind blogging from a few weeks ago. I commuted to work today. We had an awful storm…
