Rollercoaster Morning

Got to my school today and went in knowing they were probably going to have me cover prep cuz they did yesterday and they do a lot so I braced myself and was still left disappointed because not only am I covering prep, I’m covering GYM. I don’t mind subbing gym generally but this school is HUGE physically and most of their classrooms, including mine today, are on the 3rd floor while the gym is on the ground floor (not the 1st) and I have gotten lost trying to find it in the past. So I was told that during my five minute passing period, I have to go get the sub binder for this class from his first period room upstairs, then go all the way down to the gym, cover that class, then five minutes to go all the way back upstairs to finish out my day. And no prep on top of that, which, whatever. It’s the job and I have a three day weekend after this because I’m going to Cedar Point’s opening weekend (yay).

Anyways, I go up to my classroom (which is mislabeled for some weird reason) and talk to the neighbor across the hall and the teacher I’m subbing for and find out she doesn’t actually need me until the afternoon, which she TOLD the office and they never bothered to say anything to me. But the teacher next door was running late so I watched her class for the first 10 minutes and then did the whole grab the binder and go down to the gym thing. I checked in at the office after dropping off my stuff and let them know the situation and they told me they had everything covered for the day so outside 2nd hour, I got nothing to do this morning. Decided to wander for the rest of 1st hour because, again, this building is quite large and there’s a lot of parts I haven’t seen yet despite subbing for a year here. 3rd hour I’ll head back up and see if anyone needs help. Maybe offer to do some busywork. So started off mildly annoyed at my packed schedule and ended with me begging for work to do lol. This job really keeps you on your toes and I kinda love it actually. Similarly to how McDonald’s is the best first job purely because nothing else will ever be as bad, nothing will ever phase me after working this one
