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…

My work is only good – 10/30/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. So I didn’t notice a late email on Tuesday night the boss sent me to stop by the administrator’s office and talk to him about my performance evaluation before I added a rebuttal to my response of the performance. I am not upset because I had a hunch, but…

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…

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…

Inexperience wins – 10/22/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. Unbelievable! I’m asked to do more for this person to help. It’s difficult to understand and do when I wasn’t given the same support. I struggled and had to find answers on my own. “MM” the payroll lady continues to get the payroll wrong, wrong dates and wrong account.…

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…

More of them and not many of us – 10/14/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I am at a loss and it’s not just me. I’m fed up and disappointed ☹️ with the many directions I’m being pulled. This department should be gutted and transformed. Others are now complaining to me of the non-response and not made progress in their tasks and need help…

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…

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…

The storm that didn’t make – 10/09/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m all over the place. There is lots of work to be completed. I shared with the administrator all my challenges within, my needs, and the need for help. He completely ignored me. One of the Director’s calls me with gossip and I really don’t want to hear it.…
