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…

Friday reflection – shaking and moving – 4/4/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It was a relief and a good Friday. With preparation, even though I had many road blocks I didn’t stop. Today was silent and I took one win of many problems we are having. After being stuck in confusion for a while, knocking on doors, seeking input at different…

The room is silent – 4/3/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. As I blogged yesterday, I discovered our agreement with the sponsor that began back in 2022 was being spent on the appropriate scope of work. The problem happened that during a change in the agreement came the budget increased for programs and decreased for others. No notification was sent…

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…

No need to show your ego – 3/27/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Why? Why instead of answering my question he tells me how great he is? He’s been doing this a long time, very well versed in our finance system SAP. He was tasked to train me. My co-worker who I’ll call AM really goes out of his way to pump…

Observing people closely – 3/19/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m getting help from the people I least expected. I walked in to work today feeling beaten down. I took a deep breath and my co-worker who I wish would be my boss came in to my office and I immediately told him what occurred yesterday. He mentioned things…

Done here – 11/14/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I don’t kiss anyone’s rear, never have, never will. I don’t boost anyone’s ego, and I don’t rely on anyone’s approval, only God. I’m not a follower, and I earned everything I’ve done. I learned that my value is a lot greater than what was being reciprocated here and…

The set up – 11/13/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was called into the supervisor’s office at 11am today. I took 11/12/24 off to clear my head. I didn’t know what the meeting would be about. My thought was that we would re-group and try to resolve Monday’s situation. She asked where I was with my tasks and…

Friday reflection – the feisty lady crosses the line – 11/01/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. She won’t stop being feisty. She’s not supporting anyone, volunteering at department events, won’t do any favors for others. I guess she wants to be paid and not do anything? She voluntarily took on completing a program report for an investigator, a role I specifically asked if she was…
