Back Up!

In this case, it's not a verb--it's a noun. As in, "My back up plan is in place, and I have other back up plans in case this one fails!"

Back Up Plan A: Get my name on the substitute list in WC, and secure a part time job.

Check!

Back Up Plan B: Become an adjunct instructor at the local community college, teaching Domestic Arts courses by day...and waiting tables by night.
      (Let it be known that I have a meeting with the Dean of Continuing Education next week, in which we will discuss the course proposals I sent this past week.)

Back Up Plan C: Went into motion on Easter Sunday. It's going to take time, but I think it's going to be a good move. (More on that later.)

Back Up Plans are necessary, no matter what anyone says or how secure you feel your job is. It never hurts to be prepared.
