Almost a relief teacher

I received a call today for relief teaching at G*ee**i**e secondary school. Was excited, for a while, until the lady on the other line said, "we need you to be here before 8am." Nothing wrong right? Well, the thing was that she called me at 7.05 am.

Logically thinking, I just woke up for morning prayers, I need to bathe and get dressed in a short span of 15minutes and get my butt out of home to the school. If the school was Yusof Ishak Sec, I don't mind since I live just next to it. But the school was at least 40 minutes away by bus or train/LRT. I had to decline the offer, obviously.

I think its really silly of the school to make the call and give such short notice. And worse, when I asked what subject I would be teaching, she said "I'm not sure yet. I just want you to come down and be here before 8."
