Hello! So I am currently feeling extremely down due to being called to sub and I said no because I had an important doctors appt. I submitted paperwork to substitute teach and I was told they would call me to set up my account online/id and such. I hadn't received a call which they told me if I didn't by a certain date to call and I was going to but this morning out of nowhere today they called me to substitute teach today. I was firstly surprised because I hadn't got situated with the online process but I had to tell them no due to a doctors appointment. I felt extremely bad since that was the FIRST time I was ever called to sub in general. I hope this doesn't affect me, and I am just concerned that they probably already got a bad impression ): I really did want to sub just my appointment was extremely important so I declined.
