Teacher. For yesterday's exams, I was one of the examiners. Thought my timetable said 1 o' clock when it was 10 o'clock. No show. The boss called, livid as hell. She pointed out that I had made a grave professional error and she could not overlook it. Still, I didn't think I would get fired. I wrote a letter of apology to all the other teachers and included her. She'd had to examine the students for me, so I accepted total responsibility and said there was no excuse, but stressing that I made a mistake...meaning that I didn't NOT SHOW UP on purpose. She emailed me yesterday with a notice for a 2 o'clock meeting today. Today she told me my contract was to be terminated once I completed and submited my marking, and it will not be renewed; that it's a very serious mistake and she could not pardon it; that I am unreliable, etc. Frankly, I do not think of myself as an unreliable person. Quite the contrary. I erred. And I appreciate that my mistake was serious, but... Like I said, mortified
