Never do I feel quite so alone as when I am forced to "bond" at work. I'm made to stop working and go sit in a group of people who visibly don't want me there. People make a great effort to not even sit next to me, and certainly nobody talks to me. So I sit there. For hours. Alone. Occasionally people gossip about me right next to me, because of course I'm too dumb to understand my own name when it's surrounded by Korean words. That's fun, too.
At the beginning of the year I was willing to play the game. I'd smile and nod and dance about. Now, though... to hell with it. I'm going to sit here on my phone, straight-faced, and hopefully make at least one other teacher feel as uncomfortable as I do.
