Subbing at a high school today. Was supposed to be teaching Spanish but the entire lunch staff quit at the beginning of this week and did things to the remaining supply of food that made it, shall we say, inedible. So this morning the front office told me they would pay me twice my usual rate and reimburse me if I could make a run to HEB and get enough ingredients to make food for every student. If I wasn’t completely broke, I would have walked right then and there and never come back. But I need the money desperately, so here I am, stuck in traffic with $1000 worth of pasta, sauce, and frozen pizzas in my trunk. FML I need to find a new job.

EDIT: thanks for all the comments. Long story short I only got reimbursed for $300 today. The rest will be sent to me “pending board approval.” I am beyond furious. I stormed out after cooking and serving all the food, and am considering leaving a nasty online review of the school.

EDIT 2: Have decided to go to the media. Thanks for all the suggestions. Hopefully this school is exposed.
