Interesting that you blacked out that hour. I have blacked out any recollection of having ever substitute taught anywhere at anytime.
Thus I do not recall being fucked with.... But I do recall seeing my miniscule paycheck and realizing the whole experience was SO not worth it.
Though I did meet some interesting faculty members at the Hull Middle School who told me they were "Buddhists" and that, if I were interested in exploring that, I could attend one of their get-togethers.
So with my open-minded youthful soul emboldened from my own collegiate studies of Religions of the East... I went.
They spent the evening chanting for "better lives" ("Nam Myoho Renge Kyo) which they told me might be a new car, or a lot of money... and it would work better if a bought one of the nifty mini-shrines available from their leaders.
I asked how that all might relate to the Buddhist goal of attaining the level of the Boddhisatva.
They looked at me a bit, and then stopped talking to me.
I left, disillusioned, and became the soulless wandering husk you see today.
So because of substitute teaching, I've got THAT going for me.

Well, that's what you get for teaching in HULL.
