I was at Rough Edges a while back. It was a football night and a good night. Laurie, Ben & Amy were away so it was a bit of a mixed team. But despite that, and even though the Queensland sympathisers didn't get what they came for, the night went well.
I decided that I like being a team leader. I like the way it forces me to be available to people. It stops me from just muddling along in my own head and makes me conscious of the people around me. I start to care more about how everyone feels, mostly because it helps to have a sense of when something is going to go wrong.
I haven't been a team leader much lately - I think mostly because I was too daffy and unassertive - but it was good. I suppose it doesn't matter that much now I'm leaving. Next week is my last week. But I had always assumed that I would hate leading or being in charge of anything. And I tend to act like I don't enjoy it a bit. But I do.
I think you were a great team leader. I enjoyed working at Rough Edges when you were leading, it was one of my favourite nights in fact.

I’m sorry to hear you’re leaving Rogh Edges. i reckon you’d make a great team leader. It’s good to find out different things about ourselves.
