You'd think coming up with a snazzy subject line would get easier over the years...
Today my boss pulled me aside and told me that I'll be managing an entire project in the coming months.
O_O
I'm simultaneously terrified and warmed at the prospect. I don't tend to have huge confidence in myself when doing something new at work, and so I thought I'd earned the reputation as the hard but slightly ditzy worker who has to be spoken to slowly. But if my boss has enough confidence in me to suggest this, maybe my impressions were wrong? In any case, I'm really nervous about it so prayers for intelligence to see this thing through would be appreciated.
In entertainment news, the book club that I started with some girls at church is reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult (about a school shooting). I wasn't enthusiastic about this choice, but the quality of the writing has pleasantly surprised me. It's definately depressing though, and it's coalesced something in my mind that I never thought of before: perhaps the reason I gravitate toward the fantasy genre more is because real life is so terrible at times?
My good friend Jamie has given me yet another anime that I "must watch": Fullmetal Alchemist. *wince* Yeah, what a title. But when she's right, she's right. The magic system based on alchemy is fascinating--and I got that twinge of jealousy that I usually get when watching or reading something well-written: why didn't I think of that?
