Unfortunate that the word "expect" has two different meanings: (1) Expect as "owe" — "The professor expected to receive an offer of tenure after receiving the highest reviews in the dept." (2) Expect as "anticipate" — "He expected rain the next day and had his umbrella ready."
though thats probably a feature of the person more than the expectation: there are people who get Mad about it not raining and so having to carry an umbrella around to no use, and others who are calm after not getting tenure against expectations
