Friday reflection – times of hard work – 2/6/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’ve been on high alert and unfocused at my regular tasks. This week as it has been since the beginning of the year seems much busier than last year. I’m a bit nervous, waiting to resolve the new deficit situation of finding $420K to fund an important program (blog…

Called in to explain the issue – 2/2/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I received an email with the subject line, “what is the issue?” The administrator was asking what the issue is because MD “LAU” as I call her went to the head and boss of our whole department. I knew it was coming it was a matter of time, but…

Friday reflection – pressure on me again? – 1/23/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. What a stressful week. Boy was I getting it from every direction. What the heck is wrong with people? Had another tough week, busy, and my problem task went smooth yesterday, it worked out. And today was no exception, here we go again. The administrator tried to stress me…

Is the sacrifice even worth it? – 12/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Wow! My day was going okay, busy, working a lot, but quiet. I was on a roll completing tasks. Then came the finance meeting and I noticed the MD coming on to the meeting already upset, careless, and rude by her comments. I was surprised because I thought the…

Who are you? – 12/10/25
I hope you are doing okay. It’s difficult to read or believe someone when the person has been a challenge for almost a year and now the same person is trying to be nice. What’s up? There is a reason under that change of attitude. You don’t know who they truly are. I don’t trust…

The past returns at work – 12/02/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It doesn’t fail. This department is really screwed up. What’s wrong with these people? I don’t see or hear of any common sense from the administrative team. Nothing surprises me any longer, but definitely angered my boss. I think he finally sees what I have been trying to explain…

Why does it matter? – 11/26/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Most times I can read a person based on their work experience by what they focus on, what’s important to tackle, their priorities, and attitude handling situations whether good or bad. The Sr Manager was out of the office for a while and recently returned a little over a…

My work is only good – 10/30/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. So I didn’t notice a late email on Tuesday night the boss sent me to stop by the administrator’s office and talk to him about my performance evaluation before I added a rebuttal to my response of the performance. I am not upset because I had a hunch, but…

Commanding respect silently – 9/24/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Respecting myself and commanding it is first for me at work. I have to advocate for myself, my posture is important, and eye contact. I won’t give my coworkers the satisfaction of an emotion. I stand strong in my conviction. I don’t have to prove anything because they couldn’t…

Wanting to give me a headache? – 9/16/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m happy this evening I’m writing in my new journal. Today is my first entry and I really like it. It was a gift with my full name engraved on it. I have people asking me for project accounts they are ready to begin spending on supplies needed for…
