Stood Up

it is not often that i am stood up, actually i can't even think of one time.  i have never been stood up by a date, i was not stood up at my wedding (yay!), never stood up by girlfriends for coffee.... but today i was stood up big time!  i was supposed to teach a Pilobolus class for The School of New Technology in Harlem, and not a single student showed up.  It is possible that none of the kids signed up for the program, it is also possible that they forgot.  the worst part was that the principal would not talk to us.  he was locked in his office on the phone and would not come out to give us any type of explanation.  it was really crazy. really speaks highly of the NY Public School System.

and now i am worried about my job for Dec.  I had 15 days of teaching lined up, and if this program falls through... does that mean that my paycheck does also?  or will my contract protect me? who knows!
but today was crazy, and i was looking forward to teaching those rugrats!
