sacked!

[not really]

The work contract that I started last week has been cancelled. They originally wanted someone to work the whole term - which I wasn't able to commit to - so they signed me up for the 3 weeks that I could do. I told them from the start that I'd be happy to pull out of the contract if they found someone else. They've now found someone else.

The great thing is that I'm already ahead, financially. Supply work pays significantly better than contract work and I'll now be paid supply rates for the contract days I've done. For the same pay I now have 2 extra days off.

I'm feeling delightfully calm.

The principal felt bad for me and has promised me the pick of the supply work at his school for the rest of the year.
