Friday reflection – my work on display – 5/08/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. MD “S” asked me to assist him with a new program budget forecast and to show whether the program will make a deficit or surplus in the next 10 years. I didn’t mind helping because that’s what MD’s do we’re there to support them. Some are really nice that…

Missed the party – 5/6/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. It is not easy to agree with me or to agree with the ideas of others. I try to be flexible. Working for MD’s and managers is confusing because they want one thing one day and change their mind the next. We’re in agreement with most of how I’m…

Results through strength – 5/4/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. My boss, dotted line, “SE” is happy with my work. I kept the faith. God is great. God gave me the strength to take information that came from an outside source and pull it all in without asking questions. All the previous jobs I’ve held culminated in being able…

Friday reflection – lost my cool – 4/24/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. What a day! I had 2 situations that I had to deal with that might be difficult to handle for some, but not for me. I am so glad I learned people, reactions, postures, and habits. Patterns are important and knowing how to navigate through the many attitudes is…

Expert, not – 4/21/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. So, the Sr. Manager struck me as an HR expert, but to find out that the program teams are the ones that are the real experts and do most of the HR tasks. She’s mostly just pushing paper to our central HR team which is the “real” HR team.…

The showdown in my favor? – 4/14/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was expecting a showdown between myself and the “corner” over “PEI” sharing with others to come to me for any financial help despite I am not assigned to her projects. “PEI” is fully aware which projects I work on and it’s not hers. Her boss “DD” fully supports…

Friday reflection – troublemakers – 4/10/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. For today I had peace, very productive, updating tasks, and resolving open inquiries. I had a great conversation with the sponsor. The agency is happy with my work, the submitted request for budgets to support our programs, and results of the programs are at an all time high, really…

Bad work ethic – 4/09/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m not part of the click and they don’t care for me. I just found out today, it’s not that they don’t like me they are used to covering up for each other. We’re not friends and I don’t work like them. At times I’m isolated when I disagree…

Difficult conversations – 4/2/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Having difficult conversations has become a regular thing for me. I learned to speak up for myself, but it’s ignored. At least I said it and I can move on. I’m being asked to make decisions and communicate those to the MD’s and certain things that should happen and…

Budget deadline nearing – 3/31/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. The laptop charging cord crapped out on me and it had nothing to do with my USB connections and HDMI cables to extend the display monitors. I found one lying around and I had to improvise of keeping the laptop in one specific spot to charge and be able…
