Signs of a toxic job? – 11/04/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It seems gossip rules around here and I try to stay far from it. Today “PEI” as I call her attended a conference to train on research topics. “PEI’s” colleague and a great co-worker to me resigned her position last month. She resigned because both “PEI” and “DD” the…

Facing more bad news – 10/28/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I started working at 8:20am this morning. Had a little late start to my work day. I took my time and took a deep breath and prayer before I got my day started. I feel I’m in a nightmare, this really happens at work and to me. I question…

Past due – morning fires – 10/23/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I didn’t have good sleep last night and woke up with a bad headache. I’m also taking medication for a tooth ache and makes me sleepy 🥱 too 😪. I have a pending dental appointment because I seem to have an infection under a tooth at the back of…

Don’t have to conform or be liked – 10/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am not liked by all because I acquired a skillset of the last 20 years. No one realizes this is not something that one is born with. I worked hard, really hard. I read, research, ask questions, and most of all care. I have put so many years…

Friday reflection – dealing with stubborn – 9/26/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I don’t think that in these past 9 months I have been really upset like I was today. MD “P” as I’ll call her is making waves across the isle with external institutions and causing alarm internally. The administrator is now wanting to press on with taking budget from…

Friday reflection – week of endings and competition – 8/29/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I wish I had my own system in place to make decisions ahead of time and then be able to audit my own decisions and go through my list of things to take care of each week. Unfortunately I don’t because I am overwhelmed with follow through and executing…

Monday morning alarm ⏰ – 7/15/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I returned to work today. It’s difficult when you are having fun the time seems to shorten when you don’t keep track. I open email and the next couple days will be busy. I haven’t been able to sleep well. I go to bed with thought of work, wake…

Spill the tea. – 7/8/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I don’t want to “rock the boat” is one of the main reasons I write here. It’s obvious of the mishandling of this budget. It also might be a culture that I don’t want to open a conversation without knowing all the facts. I do see a pattern of…

The unwilling…cont’d – 6/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I said “no” yesterday and here she comes again. LOL! Some people either really are that naive that don’t get the point or she just doesn’t give a care. I got a nasty email with several people copied on there that I should do xyz. LOL! Insane! I have…

The unwilling – 6/10/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Unbelievable, it’s 9:01AM and here we go again. These people are unwilling to do anything or help out. I ask a question and I get a question in return. I am not HR or payroll, but I’m supposed to do extra work because you can’t take the time to…
