Still Waiting

It’s the last week before Christmas Vacation¹  Teachers shouldn’t be taking time off, the administration usually doesn’t like that kind of thing.  They should be giving tests and taking up projects and other various end of the semester (or at least before a giant break) activities.

The jobs are a lot less plentiful right now.  I have the website reloading every 5 seconds so I can grab something quick.  I’m not really paying too much attention to what the job is, which is why I’ve picked up a 2 day assignment in Kindergarten for after the break. 

I did have a PE job tomorrow.  That got taken away from me for whatever reason.  I’m going to tell myself that they wanted to assign it to a specific sub and put it into the system wrong.  It makes me fell better.

I did have a job yesterday in middle school.  I could have picked up a 3 day assignment for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  But I need to be somewhere ready to take pictures at 4:30 on Froday afternoon.  The middle schools here get out at 3:45.  I took too long trying to figure out if I’d have time to get over there, find parking, and get myself set up.

Waiting sucks.  I can’t start doing laundry because there’s a chance I could get called or pick up something where they want me there 10 minutes ago.  I can’t really go anywhere either.  I mean, I guess I could and just have my phone with me.  But I’ve picked up jobs online a lot more often lately then getting calls.  Granted, I’ve also picked up most of my jobs the night before or earlier.

And those half days aren’t helping either.  I’d be ecstatic to pick up a half day for today.  But all of the ones that are showing up are for the rest of the week and I don’t like grabing half days in the future because it means there’s no chance in Hell that I can pick up a full day.

1. I don’t care what the name of it technically is.  I was at a school recently where a girl was reading the Bible during recess.  That means I can call it Christmas Break if I want to. [↩]
