I work as a substitute teacher, and also part time as a waitress at a couples resport.
When I waited tables it was super easy to pick up extra shifts from the other waitresses.
All my best,

I agree with Danni, but also it wouldn't hurt to apply at a few places that you would like to work at, just in case this is what the summer at that job would look like for you. Can you ask your boss directly if you can expect to have more regularly scheduled shifts?
I am in sort of the same position as you, I work for a school district on call covering clerical staff. I got hired for a good union job for the summer and then backed out before training because the thought of working that job for the summer depressed me so much, I had a violent gut reaction to the thought of working there. The next job I applied for I got called right away for testing, and they called me in right away for an interview, in which they didn't ask *me* a single question, they just told me what the positions were (it's also an call job) and asked when I could start. And I feel great about it! I have always had low pay less than great jobs and I am finally getting good ones. Anyway, I'm just trying to encourage you to see that if this summer job doesn't work out, there are other things you can do...it's not crisis time, it's just time to get creative and look for another thing to make money at for the summer. I know the economy is lousy, but if you can be a substitute teacher, you can handle just about anything! Good luck. Oh, and apply for things that you might *like* to do for the summer, that's my advice...and if nothing else pans out after a couple of weeks of real trying, then start to look for whatever might just be a paycheque.
