You are looking for a job. You find an ad in the newspaper, in which a well-known company seeks someone to fill the position of your dreams. The qualification requirements match yours almost exactly, although there are a couple of skills that you're lacking. You submit your application and are invited to an interview. How would you feel about your chances?
I'd have absolutely no doubt that I'd get the job.
I'd feel pretty sure that I'd get it, but believe that there is a slight chance that it will not work out.

You are going away on a two-week vacation to one of the sunny states. While preparing your luggage, you:

have little doubt that you will have mostly nice weather, but pack some stuff for poor conditions, just in case.
expect more or less nice weather but make sure you have things for the odd bad day
expect mostly bad weather but pack for both good and bad days.

39.
You come home to find an urgent message from your best friend, asking you to call him/her as soon as possible. How would you react?
