But at least you got through it!<br /><br />My sub system works the same way, so I know how frustrating it can be to linger over a job for five seconds and then it be gone. It's like people are swarming to get those jobs! I know our system ever tried out an aleter-type app so it alerts you when there is a job open. It was probably great for people who used it (or bought it), but it hindered those of us who didn't.<br /><br />Anyway, back to subbing!

It was probably a last minute thing, and the school was happy that someone took the job rather than having it go without coverage.
