There are times when I'm not "nice."
Today when I arrived at one of my accompanying jobs, a substitute was there. With a sigh of relief, she handed me the lesson plan that had been left her by the choir director and said, "I'm sure you'll understand what she wants." It was true. I did understand. I also understand that she's not getting paid for me to do her job. I smiled at her, handed the lesson plan back and said, "I'm sorry, but I just accompany. I'm certain I wouldn't know where to begin."
I know. I could have taken over. But honestly, if you don't want to substitute teach, for heaven's sake, don't apply for the job! And I don't like it when people assume I'll bail them out--which is why I probably don't.

Sounds reasonable to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ambrosia.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, obviously, but Ken--you have to capitalize her name even if she doesn't, because Ambrosia is of the highest quality and just requires capitalization. (did you notice I capitalized you, as well?)
