So I Took A Sub Assignment Today [View all]

8th grade math in a town that is 16 miles away. All highway so a bit over 20 minutes. Pretty convenient & I like the people there.
I get there about 20 minutes before the kids come in, sign in, grab my ID (I have my own badge there), and head to the room.
When I get there, 6 other math teachers are listening to someone speak. Do I waited outside the door.
Finally one woman says "Who are you here for today?" and I pointed into the room.
She says "Joe is here. He's right there." I hear him say "Oh geez, I forgot to cancel that."
So, I go back to the office and the sub coordinator says "Well, you were on the roster, you signed in, and we don't need any other help today. Not your fault, so you should head to the golf course & we'll pay you for the day anyway."
So, I got paid to play golf & clean up leaves in my yard.
I expected to be angry because of wasting my time, but hard to be mad when they're paying me for nothing!
An extra $90 to give to the food pantry, to boot.
