> Let me say a big HOORAY for teachers getting sick! Don't get me wrong, i'm really glad you're better now, but we substitutes gotta make our little side cash sometimes. Teachers like my mom, who only seem to get ill on weekends, don't help my bank account NONE.

LOL!! I'll take that in the spirit it was intended.

It was funny, though. I had *planned* to be away for eight days straight (combination of testing and meetings), and had already prepared, copied and submitted my lessons. Every other day that was not planned were lessons I had taught before that only needed re-copying to be delivered again! My vice-principal said I'm the only person he knows who plans to be away and then has emergency surgery. :-)

I'm known for being ridiculously organized (read obsessively so), so I shall be in for some razzing when I return.
