Having found my former classmates working in the language center, I often go there during the free time between classes. Occasionally I was also of help to them, doing word-processing, troubleshoot minor computer problems, verbal translation, data sorting, lifting heavy objects, and such. Last week I was asked to lead the English Joke/humor Contest, and because no one signed up for the event, all of the volunteers of Language Center were advised to promote the event and populate the sign-up sheet.
I had no luck what-so-ever recruiting a willing participant, but then a teacher from the department showed interest. I gladly invited her.
Back at the L.C., I reported on my progress. Unexpectedly, I was scolded, verbally 'abused', for inviting, not just any teacher, but THAT teacher to the event!
Deeply depressed, I actually thought of suicide.....
