It’s a position I’ve worked before, most recently in April I believe. I’ve carried the responsibility enough times not to be frantically nervous about carrying the additional load (more stories to read, more pages to design, and I get to play point person if and when things go crazy).
I’m actually more grounded by the fact that I’ll need to come in early and probably eat dinner at my desk. It’s the old, “I’m on break, but if you really need something I’m not.”
Knowledge can both be intoxicating and sobering. Combined with the fact I get this shot because of a funeral, it’s a development that’s noteworthy, but not worth jumping up and down about.
