A Day in the Life of a Supply Teacher

7:20am: No phone call. What have I done? This is a total
disaster! I shouldn’t have taken that tag off the bag, it’s
going to have to go back!
7:25am: Ok gym kit on, they are never going to call so
Body Pump it is!
7:35am: In traffic enroute to the gym, and the phone
goes... it’s the agency, seriously?
“Hi, can you get to a school in Aberdare this morning?
They don’t mind if you’re late, they know I’m only just
calling you”
Me: “Yes, no problem partner! I’ll pop the address in my
sat nav and I’ll be there!”
What is wrong with me?
Sometimes my mouth moves and words come out
before my brain computes! Yet again I had said yes
without thinking it through, I was in my gym kit! I can’t
wear a sweaty gym kit that’s been lying about for days,
to a school! Yes, I had my other smarter clothes in my
gym bag but how was I going to get changed in a
mini?
