Why does it matter? – 11/26/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Most times I can read a person based on their work experience by what they focus on, what’s important to tackle, their priorities, and attitude handling situations whether good or bad. The Sr Manager was out of the office for a while and recently returned a little over a…

Friday reflection – get over it; let’s get to work – 11/21/25
I hope you are doing okay. I’m behind on my blog. Today is January 23, 2026. As I’m writing this entry we are at 37 degrees and rainy. We’re supposed to get icy conditions and will be un drivable. In my city our vehicles weren’t built to drive in snow or ice conditions. Our fireplace…

Pushing limits – 11/19/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. There are quite a few open fires or in other words work concerns either my responsibility or a support role. Very workflow and movement to complete these is dragging. I guess the holiday season hit early this time around. The high ego’s and wanting things done their way is…

Another bailout – 11/06/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am forcing myself to work. A lot to get done. After last week I can’t dedicate the same energy, less passion to my work. No one knows or understands because it’s not them in my shoes. it’s an awful feeling that you put everything of yourself into your…

Doesn’t feel like a party – 10/29/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I woke up not wanting to commute to work. I had to because I have committed to help an MD’s assistant to put a birthday party together for her boss. He’s really well liked and popular and I agree. I picked up a couple custom cakes for the party.…

Friday reflection – round and round we go – 10/24/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. My performance evaluation is coming up. I evaluated myself already and it’s weird because I didn’t get any feedback and I wasn’t sure how to answer the questions or the process because it’s my first cycle going through it at this organization. I’m sort of anxious because my boss…

Dealing with high emotions – 10/15/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. ✅ Today was running with high emotions from others. Everyone is so hot headed today and even had my first argument with the payroll lady. Although not shocking I am proud I held back from being harsh, but I was also honest, logical, without emotion, but WOW 🤯! People…

Fix the leaders, fixes the problems – 10/12/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It starts at the top. You see how they operate and perform especially how they hire and it trickles down. I came here in Jan 2025, hard year for me the whole year. At times when I think back like now I should’ve stayed where I was, but here…

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 – ignore the critics – 10/10/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m growing, learning, and demonstrating to myself I can. I was going through this weird couple days of non-action, procrastination, and avoidance. It was too involved in my emotions. I felt drained and ready to give up. I couldn’t get my mind and work right. Today, I came out…
