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…

Repeating patterns – 2/19/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I had to take a step back from writing because I’ve had quite a few exhausting months and I’m behind on here. As you can see I’m still trying to catch up from February 2026. A lot more has transpired, but I will keep going, keep showing up, and…

You cause more work than necessary – 2/18/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. She’s mad because I’m winning. Director 1 has been here with this department since 2019 and has not been able to get it. She’s attempted to try and make me lose it in front of her boss MD “LAU.” I have a feeling it’s her who wants to make…

To inconvenience me is okay – 2/10/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I want to focus more on my blog, but I can’t I have so many other things going on that it’s difficult to keep up, but I write most of it in my journal, a little bit of room to breath as well. This allows me to get things…

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…

No one wants to talk to you – 2/4/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I don’t like to be mean and I took the time to explain to the Sr. Manager the update on my projects. She tells me no one wants to talk to her and she was wondering why. I, of course, lied and told her I wasn’t sure. It’s not…
