“No”, again – 12/14/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. This organization didn’t accept my decline response to the interview next week and came back to ask if I can interview this week! Absolutely not as my schedule is full already tying up lose ends for vacation next week. There’s something strange when an organization won’t take “no” for…

The thing about honesty – 12/4/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. As usual I have had plenty of busy days. I can’t think of a time recently where there has been down time. I keep going from one thing to another and once I’m done the books have closed for the following month. It’s okay I’m no stranger to working,…

Friday reflection – It’s complicated – 11/17/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m finally able to blog. This past week not only has been challenging but tiring and had to take time to self-care. Not only have I not been able to keep up I have to deal with the nonsense of people. She’s loud, talks fast, is used to having…

Unwelcomed feedback – 11/15/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. I value myself, my worth and I know that my work is being watched. I know the type of work I produce because the last twenty years of evaluations I didn’t have not one bad mark. I open my email at 9:30am this morning to be greeted by emails…

Weakening progress – 11/14/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m slowly making progress. This has been the biggest challenge of my career. Its been a difficult period. I’m growing and expanding at a very slow pace incredibly never seen before. Things have not been right for a really long time. I keep re-starting. I jumped into this job…

Going with my gut instinct – 11/11/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. I have to go into next week with the past left in the past. I will not have work friends, the intention is set with using my past experience and no longer listen to what I’m told, there’s leadership lacking. The anxiety I felt last month was awful because…

Working in silo looks like this – 10/24/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. Very tough days I’m going through, whew! It’s not something I’m dreading, but having to deal with people is the challenge, not the work. No one at work seems to be engaged and don’t communicate either. How is that okay with anyone? Today the team is restructuring, but I…

Logged off early – 10/16/23

Hope everyone is doing okay. I guess people are having Monday blues, again this vicious cycle I’ve observed in these past months of stubbornness. I do a lot. All they do is watch what I’m doing, how I work and what I produce. I received several messages asking, “what do you mean?” We speak the…

Creating & building strength under pressure – 10/5/23

Hope everyone is doing okay. I am working and understanding, tweaking and learning from my work being rejected yesterday. These are late nights trying to complete these portfolios. I’m taking it all in and doing it all. Alone, quiet and focused. In the beginning I was preaching checklists and structure and gone ignored. I followed…

A burden removed – 9/25/23

I hope everyone is doing okay. As I was working peacefully today my supervisor calls me. We had a conversation about the co-worker. She only wanted to inform me that the person was gone. She turned in all her equipment and left. She cleared quite a bit – I had questioned myself previously. I was…
