I just didn't do a follow-up question when they asked me today as I thought it would show interest, which I lacked.

I was polite, deferential, and didn't burn any bridges for the future.

My friend is also a substitute teacher. She was offered a similar job in another county and she too deferred.

Thank you for your kind words. We'll all be fine.
