me to work tomorrow. So immediate temp work and some future substitute work possible. The background check cleared 11/14/08, but my State didn't notify me and I was told they would. So I had someone check for me today and my clearance came back a long time ago! They changed to notifying you to putting it on a different part of the website. I called the school and they will send everything to the board tonight and the board will vote on me. Meanwhile, I was offered work tomorrow, packing boxes with nutrition bars. I had said, "Yes." So I called back and said I would go if I'm not called to sub. They said they understand, just to let them know if I get called to sub. It will probably take awhile for my name to appear on the sub list, so not much chance of there being a conflict tomorrow, but just in case. The temp service told me to call back if I do sub instead. I hope I get to sub at the little school nearby. I've subbed there two times before and the students are great! The teachers are nice. It's small and very homey. I hope I sub a variety of classes. I really would love to sub art right now. I wonder if they have reading in the old classroom I subbed in once before. So wish me luck on the vote tonight and cross your fingers that I won't burn myself with a glue gun tomorrow (yes, I've had this bar packing job before, hate gluing the boxes and standing on cement-if they'll let me sit, stand, sit, stand and let me use glue dots instead of the gun, I'll be happy).

Good luck with your sub teaching job. Sure hope the board voted you in. Glad you found a temp job also. Know you've really been looking and waiting. Hope your feetsies aren't too sore after working yesterday or maybe it was the day before. Guess this explains why I haven't seen you around myLot alot lately.
Take care,

Got voted in and subbed today. Felt good to be back in a classroom again. They took it easy on me, they had me work as a Teacher's Aide today, so that was fine. They handed me a ton of paperwork. I needed a folder or a large manilla envelope. The rules were 4 pages long.
My variscose veins sprouted new and more painful vericose veins at the nutribar packing plant. It was all standing and I found reasons to walk around and help myself out for the first half, but after that, quality control came in and they started more machines up and I couldn't get away with it any more. I came home, put my feet up and told my husband he was on his own for food. I was limping because my left food killed me, my hands were all scratched and cut up. My husband zapped us each a meal.
It's amazing how much better my feet and legs feel today.

It's a shame they didn't notify you like they said...seems to be state government's way though. I am glad you are going to get to temp, just watch out for your back (the cement floors are a killer). I hope too that you won't burn yourself. Good luck my fingers and toes are crossed for you.

Right now just be glad that you have some thing to hold you over, god how I would like to be able to make some extra money, maybe by the first of the year your name will come up for a sub. See I told you let god handle it and he will see you through.

Perhaps you will get some kind of money to hold you over. This isn't extra, if I'm lucky it will pay bills so I won't be in the hole. I hope. Take care

Congratulations! The government is notoriously slow at doing anything. I hope you get the vote tonight. Hopefully, you will do a lot more subbing in the future.

Thanks, I hope all these things, too. Yes, and my state tends to be really, really slow. Take care.
