lol, just one of those things that shows up on my work "reviews" and for some reason popped into my head.
Ambiguity=uncertainty. I certainly prefer "certainty", hehe.
Am I a black-and-white type thinker?? hmmmm, maybe so. I have been having a hard time with the lack of a project (aka "on the bench") and I realized that just the rumour that I might be assigned to a project at the beginning of July only boosted my mood for a short while. As there was nothing concrete presented during the past week (and "working on getting you on it" was all I heard), I started to get all irritated again.
Something from Wikipedia: "Ambiguity aversion (also known as uncertainty aversion) describes an attitude of preference for known risks over unknown risks (a well-known example worldwide is "stick with the monster you know; avoid the monster you don't."). It is demonstrated in the Ellsberg paradox (i.e. that people prefer to bet on an urn with 50 Red and 50 Blue balls, than in one with 100 total balls but where the number of blue or red balls is unknown)."
Not sure about the red ball/blue ball example, but I believe I do have a case of "ambiguity aversion" . . . not sure there is a cure.
Seriously, I always have wondered by "ambiguity" shows up on those reviews. For some reason, I think with my job . . . enterprise systems upgrades/implementations, programming/problem solving . . . that most of what I do revolves around things being mostly one way, done at a certain time/certain way, blah, blah. There isn't much room for ambiguity . . . or am I missing something???
