Just wanted to vent a little about a Monday assignment being cancelled at 11:30 Sunday night. I did not find out about it until six this morning. Fortunately I was able to get another assignment; if I had not been able to get another one, I would have been out a day's pay. Do teachers who do this know how it might affect the sub? Do they care? I guess it is expecting too much for the teacher to send me a brief email apologizing for the inconvenience, but it has never hapened.

So, no pay that day.

pixie Judy, So you saying the school told you the wrong day?
Wow. And Ze makes a good point that we can be cancelled
any time, with no explanation and no advance notice (I
once got the call that a job was cancelled as I was
parking my car in the school lot.) but if we cancel on
short notice and it is not a true emergency our job would

Judy I picked the job off AESOP and showed up on that day. The secretary said it was yesterday's job. No apologies. I had turned down the middle school for a job that day too. I called middle school, but that job had already been filled. I did not work that day.
