The worst thing about not getting called for a job? The fact that even if you don't get a call right away in the morning, there's always the chance you'll get called later on in the day to fill in for a teacher who has to leave suddenly. Now, this is not a bad thing. After all, I need all the work I can get these days. It does, however, put a damper on one's day. Frankly, it turns me into a neurotic mess. Should I go to Target? Should I go to the gym? What if I get called? What if I don't get called? How much money could I have made if I had switched my schedule and worked with a different school district today?

| Okay, so this has nothing to do with anything. I did an image search for "neurotic", hoping to find a nice picture of someone pulling out his or her hair, and this came up instead. It was too weird NOT to use. |
Do you know what calms me down in moments like this? Lists. Yeah, I've turned into some sort of list-making nut. But, see, lists are awesomely helpful because I can gather my thoughts and figure out what I can get done while I wait. I get a lot more laundry done this way. It's good. So is the feeling you get when you cross something off of a list.
"Writing a blog entry" was on my list today. Check.
