Was a good day until the call came – 5/1/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I worked through quite a bit of tasks that I was behind on. A lot of housekeeping and clearing up travel and credit card expense reports, and upcoming finance review for a medical doctor. He’s pretty cool with dry humor. This particular doctor who I will call SE only…

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…

Got an ear full today – 4/22/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I have been absent for a little bit because I took some time off to go on vacation to the beach and my family and I had a blast. I’m really behind on my blog and I couldn’t wait to get back and continue writing about the ongoing drama…

Friday reflection – Getting wild on me for no reason – 4/11/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I like my job; it wouldn’t be interesting if not going through what I am at the moment. The storm will turn into light rain, but I have to put up a fight for now. I have to be grateful for the job because others are losing theirs as…

The beginning of the accounting accountability – 4/10/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s difficult to navigate through challenges. For me it’s happening now. I have to be careful though because I want to bulldoze my way on my own to get things done, but I can’t, I have to navigate quietly through this and follow their instructions. My mind is a…

It can’t get any worse – 4/8/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m in a panic…This is a lot more than what I expected and what I was told was going on. During my interview a little over 4 months ago the impression was that everything was in order. Well it’s not! Expenses were not counted or posted correctly, budget was…

Friday reflection – shaking and moving – 4/4/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. It was a relief and a good Friday. With preparation, even though I had many road blocks I didn’t stop. Today was silent and I took one win of many problems we are having. After being stuck in confusion for a while, knocking on doors, seeking input at different…

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. The problem happened that during a change in the agreement came the budget increased for programs and decreased for others. No notification was sent…

Ready to rumble? – 4/2/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. The medical doctor (MD) is upset, rightfully so because the lack of communication and a missed opportunity to provide input to the budgets, negotiate, and provide more information to increase the budget and be able to complete the work. I don’t know what happened or who did not pay…

Let me be happy – 3/23/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m still fairly new to this organization. I’m nearing month #3 on 3/31/25. I feel that I have to prove my knowledge, experience, and may be the reason I feel so much pressure. There is a lot of work to be done, situations to resolve. I work hard to…
