I feel for you!! I know it is our "civic duty" but for those of use who are self-employed I really think there should be some kind of special consideration given. Most employers will supplement the difference between the paltry pay they give you versus your regular salary. But, I'm in the same boat. The last time I got called, I had to drive Downtown Detroit, pay $5.00 to park, was there from 8:30am all the way till 3:00pm. I was in the last grouping of people and we were all dismissed as they had filled their quota. It was even more discouraging to do nothing but sit there all day. I did have a few magazines and a book with me, but of course it was on my busiest teaching day and I was out $150.
