I’m not someone who prides herself on her leadership skills, though I know I have some…

…BUT - today I have been placed in charge of one rather large project at work, which I cannot divulge but which is pretty damn cool and which I am really excited about. It’s a pretty sweet deal and I am jazzed. I’ll get to work with cool people I don’t normally get to work with, so that’s a plus in and of itself, and it’s something that will really be a great experience and a LOT of learning, too.

Additionally, during Information Policy class tonight, we had to start our first group project. Over the course of our discussion of policies and research and legal precedents (for a certain issue we’re discussing regarding freedom of speech and unreasonable search/seizure), I was asked to be our group leader and coordinate the whole project, compile the information that my group members will send, etc. Excited about that, too. I’m a control-freak, so it suits me just fine to be the one who makes sure things get done in time.

On the downside, I didn’t have dinner tonight since I worked until after 6 and didn’t have a train home until 6:51, got to the station at 7:44 then got home at 7:52. Class began at 8, and ended at almost 10:30 with our group discussion taking longer. So. I just had some orange juice (only a little since I would wake up with nasty acid feeling in my tummy otherwise) and a Kashi multi-grain bar thingie.

But I have to get to bed, get up early, go to the bank, get money, go to work, work until 3:30, take the early train home, arrive at 4:20, meet with my friend Elizabeth and then go over to my old workplace (though not inside) to meet with my former co-workers for a girls’ night/keep in touch dinner gathering. Since I’ll be right near the wicked cool yarn store, I might stop in and get something gorgeous, just for the hell of it. Knit myself a really long thin scarf out of some silken yarn, perhaps? I made one for my brother’s girlfriend that went over well, so I can make one for myself and for my friend Theresa and maybe a few other select individuals.

All right. Eyes are burning and watering. Too much computer screen. Time to remove the mascara and head to bed.
