Difficult conversations – 4/2/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Having difficult conversations has become a regular thing for me. I learned to speak up for myself, but it’s ignored. At least I said it and I can move on. I’m being asked to make decisions and communicate those to the MD’s and certain things that should happen and…

Budget deadline nearing – 3/31/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. The laptop charging cord crapped out on me and it had nothing to do with my USB connections and HDMI cables to extend the display monitors. I found one lying around and I had to improvise of keeping the laptop in one specific spot to charge and be able…

Today was NOT the worst day of my life or career – 3/30/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. Some of us will either think or say, “I had the worst day of my life.” I thought it was today. You don’t understand you are blessed until it is put in your face and you realize I am wrong. I am wrong for going through today making a…

Friday reflection – work divided – 3/27/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. This week it’s shown who’s really working and who’s not by how well you’re prepared. This was an all out debate. We know where the mistakes were made that caused finger pointing. 🫵 it’s not good to do it, but I can understand the circumstances and why. How was…

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…

I hope everyone is doing okay. I am so grateful, thank you God for making things happen for me. I have to remember to remain humble because anyone who thought I couldn’t make it is quiet now. I did this darn thing! I am so happy. I started my day with MD “SE” and went…

Breaking news – 3/24/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. My day started a little sluggish , not sure what to get to first. I took some time to settle my mind with a little prayer and calming myself. I was antsy and that’s weird because I have not gone to a job in such a state. I also…

No one gives me anything – 3/20/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. God gave me a talent and I built a career from scratch, no one handed me anything. I am experienced through training, hands-on experience, and education. No one holds my hand while I do things. When I came on board I didn’t know if I was doing anything right…

Making progress without her – 3/19/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I think the MD noticed all the stalled work and decided to get to it today. 3 of 4 of us are working because Director 1 is out on vacation. The temper tantrum came at the right time for her. 😂 It’s funny that some people spend their time…

Was I reprimanded? And she’s MIA – 3/18/26
I hope everyone is doing okay. I was having a good morning getting my day organized and chatting via teams with Director 2 answering questions regarding her budgets. Then she began to explain to me that she had an awkward conversation with MD “LAU,” “I was given a directive that I am not the head…
