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…

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…

My year in review – 01/01/26

Is the sacrifice even worth it? – 12/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Wow! My day was going okay, busy, working a lot, but quiet. I was on a roll completing tasks. Then came the finance meeting and I noticed the MD coming on to the meeting already upset, careless, and rude by her comments. I was surprised because I thought the…

Who are you? – 12/10/25
I hope you are doing okay. It’s difficult to read or believe someone when the person has been a challenge for almost a year and now the same person is trying to be nice. What’s up? There is a reason under that change of attitude. You don’t know who they truly are. I don’t trust…

Not interested – 11/25/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. This place is pretty bad and being nice hasn’t worked. I’m not exaggerating when I make the statement. Leadership is non-existent, the inexperience is a lot worse than what I thought. People are not interested in learning, but want someone else to do the job for them. They don’t…

In a calm state, the other side is upset – 11/17/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The air is clearing at work. I feel I have made my point at work and put the proper boundaries up for one group after my work was undervalued. I am still trying to work through getting over the recent past and also the stitches in my mouth don’t…

Advocating for myself – 11/12/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. In this place you are on your own. If something isn’t working out for you then it’s tough luck. The mantra should be “You are on your own if you want to work here.” People are hesitant to support. I probably only have had about five people at one…

Incoming reinforcements – 11/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The “corner” as I call the higher ups all sit in one section which is the corner of the floor, away from all the chaos with their doors shut is what I call them. The click that consists of 4-6 that really don’t have the experience to hold their…
