A Little Unsettled

I'm working on a really big project at work, and I'm almost entirely in charge of it. It could be amazing and wonderful for the organization. In fact, I hope/think it will be. But...

Somewhere along the way I've lost my confidence that I can execute something big like this and have it reflect positively on me. It's my job to make sure I portray the organization in the most positive light, but I'm currently TERRIFIED that something will go wrong and I'll have a PR disaster on my hands. And it will be all my fault.

When did I become that girl who's more comfortable sitting still than rocking the boat? I'm not even really rocking it. I'm paddling forward and horrified that I might capsize. That's no way to live, no way to work.

Vague, I know. Sorry.

when the captian claimed every decision you made could possibly sink the boat...

captians can be wrong :-)
i have a feeling some crazy road trip will wash all your worries away.

Little guy in a red suit with a pitch fork sitting on your shoulder telling you these things to unsettle you. Don't listen! You know better! You can do it! I'm rooting for you!
