So this morning I was sitting real nice and comfy like in front of my computer with a cup of coffee and my novel in the works when the phone rang and it was the school wanting me to substitute last minute for junior high english and spanish.
So YAY, I had my first sub job and I didn't get killed or kill anyone, either!
Junior high kids are wacko. They have attention spans much smaller than an ant's and mouths much bigger than an elephant's. One class in particular decided that it was Wrong and Evil and Satanic that they had a test today and it was all my fault because I don't speak much spanish, and WHY does their teacher get them subs that don't speak spanish?
I think the hardest part about subbing is going to be keeping myself from spewing forth snippy comments.
And wow, I get paid twice as much as I would for way less hours at my other job. Retail gets a thumbs down!
Now I'm behind on wordcount again, though...
