The Fat Lady Hasn't Sung Yet, But The Fat Man Gets Hungry

Well I thought before Christmas vacation that my subbing career was finally be, well I spoke so soon. I am still in the running for one of the library jobs that I applied for (I have a 3rd interview next week), but things aren't falling into place as quickly as I hoped.

It was hard going back to sub again, partially because its been good to have two weeks off, but mainly because I know that I truly want this other job.

A half day assignment came up on the sub website last night, so I figured that would be a good way of getting my foot wet again. It was only from 1:00 to 4:00, the only draw back was it was with one of the difficult classes that I had taught shortly before winter break. I figured 3 hours couldn't be that bad, especially since they would leave the school by 3:30 and might even have one of their special classes. Well I was lucky, when I arrived they went right to art class for an hour. So I actually only had the class from 2:00 until 3:15, and for that I received a half days worth of pay (so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much).

The class was basically as rowdy as last time, mainly lots of talking this time. One of the boys in the class was singing the song from Rally's Hamburger's commercials, "Gotta Have It, Gotta Have It." I told the boy he had to stop because he was making me hungry (which was true because I hadn't eaten at all yet today (poor planning on my part). And this boy thought this was the absolute funniest thing he had ever heard....first he couldn't understand how I could be hungry given my large size, second he decided to taunt me by describing every single type of horrible junk food in the world. He thought he could make me hungrier, of course he did. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it. So much for those New Year's resolutions.
