Friday reflection – on the losing end – 10/03/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. My boss wanted to join the sponsor and myself on our call ☎️ this morning. He got a rude awakening, but I ask myself if the program team really knows what they are supposed to do? It seemed the sponsor is fed up with all of us. She knows…

Friday reflection – Will something good come out of all this struggle? – 9/12/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. I was wrong and I’ll say when I”m wrong. Today I felt so angry and raised my voice at my boss, but not yelling at him, it was the situation. I told him I had no help. Everyone has a limit and that limit was met for me. He…

What do you call the next level of overwhelm? – 9/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I never thought I would write that I really can’t keep up now. There’s so much pending to be done, in workflow, or approved. I’m waiting for everyone else!

I have other projects that are…

Upcoming vacation and I’m scrambling, again – 8/14/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Something is wrong? I’m scrambling to get all these invoices posted, supporting staff, and to make matters worse what they are doing is out of compliance. I don’t want to be here when the auditors come. Some of these invoices are from last year and I don’t even know…

A mad woman… – 11/7/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. I woke up this morning wrestles, couldn’t sleep last night thinking of my presentation today to a top investigator. It turns out it should’ve been the least of my worries. I killed it. Did well and at my best, but first this happened… I hadn’t even finished my first…
