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…

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 – challenged but winning – 1/30/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. The work keeps coming and piling up. The challenges that I thought were going to cause me grief, didn’t. I am so blessed, God hears my prayers. The things that are happening I’m able to resolve and I’m greatly influencing one person at a time with my actions, not…

These are not mistakes, it’s bad leaders – 1/27/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Once again I’m going to have put out a lot of time into the next big deficit. I feel like I’ve been on the losing end since I got hired here. People don’t understand the high stakes. And the people that have made the errors over and over again…

Starting year 2 – 1/7/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I turned one year at this organization yesterday. It feels more like 5 ☺️. MD “SE” tells me today that I am an anchor. I took it as a compliment. He also has a surprise for me but it’s delayed. Whatever it might be I am grateful for the…

Avoiding confrontation – 12/24/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s Christmas time and I really am trying to hold my tongue, avoiding the same 2 women. Day after day both have been asking for one invoice because the supplier is owed the amount for months. Why should I be stressed over your lack of oversight. Today I was…

Friday reflection – accountability staring you in the face – 12/19/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. And it is here. I really do not want to say it, but it’s time for people to answer for their careless work. Some haven’t been held to the minimal standard and now it comes out and this is small too and another problem to solve. Director 2 shared…
