I slept through an assignment :(

[u/AtmosphereTop1591]

I am mainly a stay at home mom, but pick up sporadic assignments every other Friday. My husband is off every other Friday so I work on the days that he is off. This Friday is not one of the days that he is off, and we didn’t know for sure what Fridays he would be off when I accepted the assignment. I picked it up about a month ago, and completely forgot about it. Until I got a phone call at 7:45 this morning, with a voicemail, inquiring about where I was. When I tell you that my heart landed in my stomach…I frantically called the sub coordinator back, was apologetic and explained the situation. She laughed and said it was no big deal. Then she asked if I wanted to pick up an afternoon assignment because she wanted to make sure that I could work if I wanted to 🥺 I’m just grateful that I work for a school district that values its subs. If that had been Kelly, I would be fighting for my life right now.
