So I left for the school at 7:40, arrived at 7:55, went to the door (it is cold out... about 28 or 29) and it was locked. I got back in my car, drove to the back of the building, that door was locked as well. Then I went to the last possible door (now 8:05) and it was... locked! I stood there on the phone trying to get ahold of someone to find out what the heck was going on. Finally I saw a lady walking by inside, I knocked on the door (now 8:10) and she let me in. She took me to the office of the secretary I was SUPPOSED to be subbing for and stayed with me, trying to help all she could. I finally got ahold of someone (now 8:13) at the district building, I told her I couldn't do anything because no one was there other than a few custodians. She said she would call around and see what she could find out and then call me back. The lady that helped me in then had to get back to work. The lady at the district building called me back (now 8:19) and said that it was a glitch in the system and no one is supposed to be working today. She told me she was very sorry for the inconvenience and that she would make sure I was payed for half a day! I then headed back out to my warm car and home into my nice warm bed... knowing that I am being payed as if I was there working until 12:00! I love my job and I love that sometimes even technology makes mistakes!

That stinks that you had to go through all of that trouble (especially since you're NOT a morning person), but at least you're getting paid for it! Yahoo!
