Taking a verbal beating – 4/29/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Oh my gosh! I took a beating from the sponsor of our project today. Good thing I kept my mouth shut and didn’t respond to a lot. I just took the punches, but I knew I was right. The sponsor did not accept my report until in front of…

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.

Friday reflection – what’s going on? – 3/28/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I couldn’t sleep after 4:20am. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, was I having anxiety or just nervous? I was up tossing and turning the rest of the time until I got up at 6:10am. I spoke to the hubby about it and I was having to breathe deeply…

The calm chaos – 3/26/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. One at a time I have been knocking down the long list of tasks. It was a bit challenging to focus once I arrived at the office because the only thought I had in mind was how much of the work was waiting for me to tackle today. It…
