Substitute This!

Assigned for a half a day, I go into my job this morning bright-eyed and bushy tailed.  When I check into the office, the secretary gives me this far and reaching gaze: "You aren't in until this afternoon."  I begin to fume beneath my shirt and tie.

She only told me a "half a day" when I got the assignment last week.  Yes, I was a complete moron and didn't ask which half.  Don't you normally assume half a day of high school means the morning hours?  

However, I told her that I had things to do today.  As you may or may not know, I obsessively plan out my entire schedule the night before I go to bed and remain inflexible about changing it.  Want me to go to lunch with you? Great, if it's during my lunch time!  You expect me not to study Latin in order to go to the mall?  In your dreams...

So, I didn't make any money, but I got to come home and work on stuff for our move to Alabama, plus nag Samantha about getting her teacher business together.  She's doing a good job.  But I'm a workoholic, so I find no rest in leisure.
