Okay! I got the Substitute Teacher Machine up and running and I have a job tomorrow! This is good for the pocketbook; hopefully that won't be the only thing that gets me through the day. It's in a 6th grade classroom (pro) but on a FRIDAY (con). Fridays are often sucktastic for regular teachers. We'll see. Hopefully I won't have lunch or recess duty--those are difficult because I don't know the rules, so I just walk around looking stern.
I must pack a lunch!
The correct range was delivered today and I broke it in with a 4 lb. roasted pork loin with fig sauce.
Cross your fingers for me--

I'm crossing my finger for you. Buona fortuna!
Hope the day went well! If you're interested here is an abridged version of my essay about my substitute teaching days in the early 2000s, previously published in North Dakota Quarterly. End of self-promotion.
The pork loin sounds fantastic. It's almost the season for my favorite pork roast with porcinis and juniper berries, served with polenta.
Germana, I'm sure it helped!
Thanks for the link, Rob--that was great! And good luck with the school board.
I'm impressed that you enjoy/ed subbing. Some classes, I don't mind, but I often find myself unimpressed with what the kids are learning, or how they are learning, and get all Type A about the whole thing. I think about how I taught that concept or book with my own students.
And so much of subbing is boooooring.
