Wait and See

Received a group email today from my boss. The California budget crisis has finally come home to roost. All lecturers were removed from the schedule pending notification from the "higher up's" regarding class cancellations. He tried to be as reassuring as possible by stating that he believed that our schedule will probably stay intact, but the possibility still remains that there may be cancellations which would then result in lay-offs. I'm giving myself an 80/20 chance of keeping my job, which means I'm only mildly concerned. Hopefully we'll know sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I've got one more week of summer session to teach and then it is vacation time for me. One thing I've learned this week is there are a lot worse things that can happen then getting laid off from my job. More on that later.
