Five Hours

In less than 5 hours, I will start my Christmas vacation. While I'm due to film a workshop on January 8th, it's just a 4 hour gig. From then on, things are up in the air.

We're awaiting funding results to see if I will be hired on a full-time basis. And while I look like the prime candidate for the job (experienced, graduate of similar program, financially qualified based on single parenting, and Native to boot) there's still some uneasiness on my part. What if it doesn't work out? What if I don't get the funding?

Ah, I'm ignoring it for now, as no one else seems to be worried about it. I've got several job projects to do, and a list given to me yesterday of things that need to be done, when I get back. I also know that, if need be, I could also be a candidate for a similar job that's opening, although it is in Toronto.

If it all does work out (and I'll find out the start of the New Year), I will begin my 52 week contract making almost 5 dollars more an hour than previously. Crossing my fingers, for sure.

Holidays. Shopping. Time at home and with family. That's all I am going to concern myself with for now.
