Intelligently sarcastic – 4/18/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I have responded to several emails in a sarcastic mood because they think I have this indispensable amount of time and energy. The mentality of “give it to the new person.” I don’t want to inflict hurt or be ugly to anyone even though there is an urge to…

Friday reflection – Getting wild on me for no reason – 4/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I like my job; it wouldn’t be interesting if not going through what I am at the moment. The storm will turn into light rain, but I have to put up a fight for now. I have to be grateful for the job because others are losing theirs as…

The beginning of the accounting accountability – 4/10/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s difficult to navigate through challenges. For me it’s happening now. I have to be careful though because I want to bulldoze my way on my own to get things done, but I can’t, I have to navigate quietly through this and follow their instructions. My mind is a…

It can’t get any worse – 4/8/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m in a panic…This is a lot more than what I expected and what I was told was going on. During my interview a little over 4 months ago the impression was that everything was in order. Well it’s not! Expenses were not counted or posted correctly, budget was…

Ready to rumble? – 4/2/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The medical doctor (MD) is upset, rightfully so because the lack of communication and a missed opportunity to provide input to the budgets, negotiate, and provide more information to increase the budget and be able to complete the work. I don’t know what happened or who did not pay…

Friday reflection – what’s going on? – 3/28/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I couldn’t sleep after 4:20am. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, was I having anxiety or just nervous? I was up tossing and turning the rest of the time until I got up at 6:10am. I spoke to the hubby about it and I was having to breathe deeply…

Let me be happy – 3/23/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m still fairly new to this organization. I’m nearing month #3 on 3/31/25. I feel that I have to prove my knowledge, experience, and may be the reason I feel so much pressure. There is a lot of work to be done, situations to resolve. I work hard to…

In denial – 3/13/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I got chewed out by a program manager for the issues that occurred in her part of the project. She tried to make me feel small and incompetent. She was very emotional and upset. I presented facts, didn’t make anything up, but despite that she continued a very stubborn…

Friday reflection – courage to not give up – 2/28/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Sometimes my mind turns to doubt. I try to tame this part of me and I haven’t been able to. My mind takes over and I get nervous when I start something new and don’t have feedback. They must assume I know it all and I don’t. I had…

Surrounded by the same struggles – 2/17/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It seems things run slow here. It takes quite a bit of energy to get tasks completed. It seems like I will have to plan, adapt, and be patient. Working silently helps to get through very detailed tasks, the many moving parts. I’m slowing breaking barriers. I’m seeing breakthroughs…
