Thanks to my friend Trish over at Everyday Trish, I heard about National Blog Posting Month. Speaking of Trish, if you're not reading her blog, you really should! Anyway, with so few ideas for topics lately, I thought I'd give their writing prompts a shot.
Today's topic is uncertainty
. Uncertainty is my life lately. My job is highly uncertain. I rely on a scheduler to call and offer my jobs. If I'm lucky, I get scheduled in advance and I know when and where I'm going to work. But sometimes, I have no idea if I'm going to work until I get a call in the morning or I don't get a call.
And of course, I only get paid when I work. So my pay is uncertain as well. I work full days everyday of the week, I get a good paycheck. But if I don't work, then no paycheck. As you can imagine, it makes our budget interesting some weeks.
Do I like it? Not really. I hate not knowing what my work schedule will be. I would much rather have a schedule. But I deal with it because it's what I want to do and it's what I need to do in order to get my own class and have that schedule.
I'm learning to tolerate uncertainty because I hope it holds something good for my future. And the future is the biggest uncertainty of all, isn't it?
How do you feel about uncertainty? Is it exciting or scary?
