The pressure is on – 5/18/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. The pressure is on and it’s about to get real tough. I have never had to face off, but I know I have some support, that’s the hope. I lost any fear and not going into the background just that easy. These two drama women will not win. They…

Friday reflection – nothing but the truth – 5/15/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I had no choice but to drop truth bombs today. Let them fall where they may. I’m okay with either being fired or walk away. I won’t let anyone lie and pronounce my name in the same sentence. The sponsor sent the budget back for correction and answer some…

My co-workers battle – 5/14/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Sweet lady, very giving, and I have worked closely with her and I help her willingly, it’s a give and take. She was so worried today that she had done something wrong. Why? I ask. She explained someone emailed her about not meeting deadlines and she was confused. She…

Potential shake up – 5/12/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was holding off writing about this topic because I wanted to know how it would play out. It started with the sponsor asking met to meet. She returned the budget almost completely different than what I submitted back on 4/15/26. This budget was previously submitted to support a…

Friday reflection – lost my cool – 4/24/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. What a day! I had 2 situations that I had to deal with that might be difficult to handle for some, but not for me. I am so glad I learned people, reactions, postures, and habits. Patterns are important and knowing how to navigate through the many attitudes is…

The showdown in my favor? – 4/14/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was expecting a showdown between myself and the “corner” over “PEI” sharing with others to come to me for any financial help despite I am not assigned to her projects. “PEI” is fully aware which projects I work on and it’s not hers. Her boss “DD” fully supports…

Friday reflection – troublemakers – 4/10/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. For today I had peace, very productive, updating tasks, and resolving open inquiries. I had a great conversation with the sponsor. The agency is happy with my work, the submitted request for budgets to support our programs, and results of the programs are at an all time high, really…

Job insecurity – 3/26/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was caught off guard today and my mouth let loose. I had enough of being scolded, reprimanded indirectly, and taken advantage of. While most deny to help I’m saying yes. I’m constantly showing up for others. No one is coming to save me either, but yet I’m giving…

Another problem – 3/12/26
Hope everyone is doing okay. Oh my gosh! It’s raining and thundering when it comes to the work tasks here for me. The harder I work, the more work I get. It never ends. I’m leaving for the day and MD “LAU” walks in to tell me about another problem she’s got. I’m already trying…

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…
