standardized sick days.
The phone conversation between me and substitute services at 6am this morning:
Okay. Um, how is that different? Aside from semantics, of course.
Ten minutes later, the sub caller called me anyway.
Tell me again now, the development of bureaucracy in the third century B.C. was actually a good thing? This was an advancement for the Ch'in and Han dynasties?
listening to: along came polly
in my sink: 3 plates, 3 cups, 1 pot with lid, 2 spoons, 1 fork, a colander, and a coffee top thingy. and a partridge in a pear tree.
me: "Hi, I'm a substitute and I'm calling in sick."
her: "Have you already been assigned?"
me: "No."
her: "Then why are you calling in sick if you haven't been assigned?"
me: "..."
me: "I'd like to make myself unavailable for assignment then."
her: "Oh, okay."
