Self discipline - the art of kicking ones butt out of bed on a filthy morning, knowing that when the telephone rings before seven thirty in the morning, it will be followed by a mad dash across the city to god knows what school to spend the day substitute teaching there.

I'm not usually one to complain. I appreciate the work and god knows I need the money, but the entire process would be much easier with the use of a car, rather than trying to negotiate buses, but of course, thanks to the /idiot/ that ran into my car while it was parked, and broke my front axle, thus writing it off, I don't /have/ a car. There's nothing I can do about it, so bemoaning the fact does me little good, but it's a stress, and on days like today - and when I say the day was filthy, I mean it - rain hour upon hour...

Anyway...

Tomorrow a repeat visit to a school I've been at before, so at least I know my route, my journey, and hopefully soon, they'll get the maternity cover contract agreed, and then I'll know where I'll be /every/ day. That will be nice.
