Pro/Con

If the strike ends this week: I get my job back.

If the strike doesn't end until June: That's a long time to wait for a paycheck.

If the strike ends this week: How the hell will I finish my rewrite?

If the strike doesn't end until June: I have plenty of time to polish "Evil Girl."

If the strike ends this week: I'm running out of days to walk the picket lines

If the strike ends this week: I'm going to be working 60 hours weeks, so I should catch up on my sleep while I can.

Earlier this month, I was playing a little game I call best case scenario: If there is a strike, I have time to write. If there isn't a strike, I have a job.

I have now played this game so much that I cannot tell if the glass is half full or half empty.
