WTF admins and department chairs?
1. Admin came today to tell me there had been a change with my sub. She said that he was all they could find since my other one backed out. Good sign, huh? Oh, it gets better. She said, "at least he has experience. He taught ESL in Jordan/Albania for awhile. He WAS certified for English but he let his license go." What is that sound? My head exploding!
2. Department chair sends me a text tonight telling me to get lessons from my sub plans to give to another LT sub to get her through March 2. My lessons are for academic level seniors but the sub is teaching honors level. I don't even have all my stuff done for leave, but I'm supposed to do your job as well. I realize our department has been a shit storm and you are tired, but I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant and don't have time to do anything for anyone else.
God, I miss wine. I need a whole bottle!
Sorry for the long rant, but I'm almost ready to blow a gasket.
I am, luckily, very happy with the hire for my maternity sub. It's just a TON of extra work to get everything ready for her. She's been in twice and is coming in tomorrow as well, but there is just so much to show her and explain... it's super overwhelming. I can't imagine having to essentially get things ready for 2 people, which is basically what you are doing. You have my sympathy!
