Temper tantrum – 3/3/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. We had a meeting today with the administrator discussing the administrative fees and were not aligned across the projects. We will be audited by the sponsor so we have to get it right. We have to do our due diligence. Of course there goes the Sr. Manager talking about…

Shutting us down – 3/2/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. For weeks Director 1 has been going back and forth between the MD and myself. She will normally come to me and ask questions that only I am able to answer. Truly she relies on me instead of actually caring to make notes or keep track. She goes back…

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…

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…

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.

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…
