Personal Log: Lieutenant Commander Dea Mialin

*Sigh*

I thought I was confused enough

Where do I begin....

Being referred to as Commander is terrifying by itself, however Starfleet saw fit to promote me to Second Officer. Yeah that was not something even remotely on my radar.

Even though we had a command staff meeting and I attended in my new capacity, I still feel like I'm stuck in a dream. Beyond that I honestly feel like I've been tossed into the deep end head first. There's no denying the fact I'm very relieved that Commodore Saalm will be remaining aboard Galileo, even if she has new duties.

This change of duties for me has made my leave busier than I planned. Besides additional training and briefings, various Starfleet entities want to hear from me. Again thats not really something I'd ever anticipated when my career started. My goal was to be a good officer and a pilot. It wasn't to be among the few that survived a Borg attack. Better yet maybe the only flight control officer that has ever flown a shuttle in combat under those circumstances.

No matter what I'm hoping to get away for a bit once Galileo's refit is complete. A visit to Betazed would be at the top of my list but if that doesn't work I'll find some place closer. Just for a time I want to set aside duty before I have to return to it with more focus than I ever have before.

My days of being just a department head are over. I'm not a full time member of the command staff. That had a lot of new demands and responsibilities that go with it. At the same time I also know that a lot of people are watching me.
