Default what is it with some agency consultants

I was booked for half a day in a nursery today, only accepted because I thought it be a full day. Anyway i said I'll do it because I thought the money will come in handy.

I got a call from my other agency asking my availiability today, I said I was booked in the afternoon. he said it was in one of my regular schools. So, I said I'll do it and cancel the other booking.

So I called my consulatant saying I can't work in the afternoon, i said I had a dentist appoinment (which I did but not during school time, lol) that I forgot about. He's like when did you book that, i was thinking whats it got 2 do with u when I book appoinments. I said I booked it last week and 4got to say that i'm not available this afternoon blah blah blah. I can't stand the uptight tone they give you when you can't work or u have been booked elsewhere. This agency/schools cancelled 3 bookings before half trem I didn't make a big deal, just accepted it and said I want extra pay for inconvenience. Now I'm cancelling a booking and they make it out to be a big deal. eels like I have to explain my life 2 them all the time.

Anyway I'm glad I cancelled because I ending up getting book for 2 more days at my regular school.

Ahhh... such is life... the buggers! I'm glad I don't work through one I think.. I can just imagine what they'd make of me... they have such a cheek asking you why you're cancelling... it's like asking a woman if she plans on having babies in the next year at an interview... it's none of their business! I'd really embarrass them and say I had an appointment with my Gynies/Shrink etc., or something silly like I was getting married/got an appointment with the law!

Great end to it all though!
