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…

Today was NOT the worst day of my life or career – 3/30/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Some of us will either think or say, “I had the worst day of my life.” I thought it was today. You don’t understand you are blessed until it is put in your face and you realize I am wrong. I am wrong for going through today making a…

Another problem – 3/12/26
Hope everyone is doing okay. Oh my gosh! It’s raining and thundering when it comes to the work tasks here for me. The harder I work, the more work I get. It never ends. I’m leaving for the day and MD “LAU” walks in to tell me about another problem she’s got. I’m already trying…

Quietly holding work – 3/11/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. What going on? Is anyone working? I guess everyone is on spring break vacation and I’m the only one here. I can’t keep up with little sleep, jury duty, and dental and doctor appointments. All while I have 12 finance reports due by 3/15/26 and 3 work progress reports.…

Friday reflection – questioning and working – 3/6/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m working on so much to perfect the budgets, but I know it doesn’t exist. I am reminded that it will not be, nothing is. Only Jesus Christ is perfect. I do obsess and there’s only a couple people that can tell me to tone it down and stop…

Budgets – 3/5/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I appreciate the clarity, communication, and direction, above all honesty. MD “SE” was all of these during our budget exercise we’ve had to go through. This has taken me two weeks to build his own budget which he never had and I was a bit nervous as to how…

Friday reflection – real work and then the others – 2/27/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. My work tasks were stalled in several areas. One the budgets. I have to explain and answer the same questions over and over. What’s going on why aren’t they paying attention. The central offices which I’m already not sure what their real function is has not answered or processed…

Friday reflection – burn out – 2/20/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am worried, fighting hard, and trying to persevere. I don’t know how long this will continue. I have to find a way to step back, but I get pulled right back in because there’s so much reliance on me and creates a lot of work. I get lost…

Friday reflection – pushing through – 2/13/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I have had challenges this week, but people are beginning to listen and are accepting guidance. I do have people on my side and that’s okay. Despite the many of negative responses and emotions from others I’m holding strong through my experience, facts, and authenticity. A problem-solver I’ve become…
