I am in a situation I don't particularly like. I shall explain. Earlier this evening, I got a call to work for a school district at a school as a sub for tomorrow. Today was my first time subbing there. I was in a 2nd grade classroom. I like the school. Its ok and all, but they will be only paying me 80 dollars per day I sub. (at least that is what I think) If I sub in Campbell County I am paid 105. I subbed Monday in Cambpell County. $105! I subbed today at this other district. $80. Tommorow?
I said I would for sub, b/c I was happy to have work for tomorrow. Then after I got off the phone I thought CRAP! What if I get called for somewhere in Campbell County? I would already be commited to the other sub job, cancelling at the last minute will not be great...I'd hate to do that to them! Then, if I don't and I keep the job and I get a call in the morning from Subfinder! I'll be screwing myself out of 20 something dollars! Of course I might not get a call at all from Campbell County...and then since I did cancel the other job I have screwed myself out a 80 bucks!?
I need money. I mean I didn't go into Teaching for money, I am sure I could make more money doing something else...but I don't want to do anything else. This doesn't control the fact that I do need money. :(
See how I would be screwed either way I went with this?
Sometimes I just hate the situations being a sub puts you in...
I mean its like I want to work, which inturn means people have to miss work, which is usually due to someone being sick, either them or their kids...so its like I'm wanting people to be/get sick...:( Which really isn't the case at all....I hate being like that...
