Dropped the bomb on me! – 9/12/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I wasn’t prepared for the bomb that dropped, and I almost fell off my chair, sitting down. Thinking back, I didn’t really have to think of how fast and how much is coming across my desk. What is going on? I have never had this happen in my career,…

Race to the finish line – 9/11/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m tired, I have worked another 10-hour work day. I’m pushing through one day at a time to submit documents for a settlement on behalf of investigator #5. Why do I have to go through this, it feels like I’m the only one that this happens to. The project…

Being resilient – 9/10/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Here we go again. It feels like I’m starting over. I felt the tidal wave coming and it’s here dumping an enormous project on my lap. I worked all day and under pressure. I put out one fire and other pops up. This will take a while. This is…

Breaking the barrier? – 8/21/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. After one begins to join meetings and entangle themselves in something they haven’t seen or done before now it becomes overwhelming. You now see the gravity of what you have to what all I have to deal with. I see the demeanor changing, reality forces you to do an…

Friday reflection – one problem ends, another starts 8/2/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s never ending, geez! I haven’t been able to call it a day for the last month. People are either ignoring my emails, not paying attention, and some plainly just don’t like me because I am not catering to them. I got slammed today. Investigator #2 is plainly upset…

Friday reflection – The root of the problem – 6/14/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. The new start seemed to be working on getting to know each other. I sit here now wondering when did it stop working? I have been working with others, taking advice, support, and guidance from everyone outside my department. I am working independently, they don’t share my likes about…

Sharing wisdom to those who want it – 5/25/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Today and any day that my expertise is needed I’ll share even to the person that thinks her trickery is funny. I choose to ignore the trickster and continue to share my wisdom as kindness and rise above the pettiness that I faced earlier in the morning of 5/23/24…

Friday reflection – some feedback – 5/24/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I recall my days as a supervisor. Each time someone stepped into my office there were no surprises and the feedback the staff received was not new. Part of being a leader is to provide feedback and create a protégée so that they can move on and be successful.…

Building a strong foundation or not? – 5/9/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m building steam, faster, wiser, and gaining traction in this position. The knowledge I gained, but the workflow here is completely different from what I had the first time I was hired in this organization. They upgraded their accounting system and processes. I got a comment from my supervisor…

Remain silent – 4/30/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Working silently is the best way for me to make progress at least for now. I have to maintain my distance to get through this project that the deadline is today at 5pm. I’m not aligned with the current vibe, don’t have the proper support, and the energies are…
