....and they NEVER have enough subs. It's a huge issue.

I live further west in Morris County and am always getting calls for Kinnelon, Lincoln Park, Morris Plains, Livingston, Boonton, etc. all of which I'm on the list for. In fact once I'm back in the sub mix come January I'm going to have to get myself off the list for some of these places because I'll spend have of my morning getting calls and having to tell some of them I can't sub that day because I already accepted another call.

If you don't mind my asking are you just looking for the flexibility of subbing or having issue finding a permanent spot somewhere?

There it is, then. Wonder what on Earth (s)he objected to?? GreenPartyVoter Nov 2017 #13

I felt it was a compliment. Correction: she asked "Why *aren't* you teaching here?" no_hypocrisy Nov 2017 #14

Sorry, missed the "aren't!" Hard to say, but admins have GreenPartyVoter Nov 2017 #15
