Dancing on a Rainbow

I have written an essay. I say 'essay'. It was a self-reflective piece on the topic of 'Leadership and You'. It was like pulling teeth. It is due in at midnight on Friday, but I had to get it done by Wednesday, which threw out my carefully planned writing schedule. I managed, though. I must admit, towards the end, my attitude was very much 'yeah, whatever'. I probably should have put that in my self-reflection: I am meticulous until I just don't care any more.
Once you submit your assignment, you get an email with the subject line:
You have submitted your assignment submission for Assignment 1
The body of the email says:
You have submitted an assignment submission for 'Assignment 1'.
So I am fairly confident that I have submitted my assignment submission for Assignment 1.
The reason I had to finish it early was that I will be in Melbourne on Friday for work, and I have to travel there this afternoon. My work employs an Aboriginal cultural mentor, whose day job is being a playwright. He has written an autobiographical play, so we are all going to see it tonight. So that should be interesting.
You know there are people who read about an illness and decide they have it? I don't do that. I read about an illness and think how glad I am I don't have it. What I do instead is suffer from vicarious illness. If someone tells me they have a rash, I am suddenly itchy, or if they have a bad back, I will think, yes, mine's a bit twitchy too. The point of all that is that half my office has a cold/the flu (depending on how melodramatic they are), and I can't tell if I'm one of them or if it's my imagination.
