When you feel left out or looked down on, How do you break down the feeling?
Or How can we survive this weak-to-the-wall kind of society?
A few months ago, one of my senior teachers had me ask a favor to a janitor of the school.
It was about unlocking a locked door that we couldn't find a right key..when I asked the janitor, he said with an annoyed look, "I can't. It's locked..you need to call a locksmith..or maybe I can try but I'm kind of busy so you have to wait a few days." I told what he said to the senior teacher. and the senior teacher said that he would ask him again. But, When the senior teacher asked him again, the janitor said, "Yes, I can do that right now."-____-;;;
When I told my story to the co-workers ..Surprisingly,,they said they had a similar experince to mine......and all of them were female teachers...It's just a coincidence? I've been looked down on so many times from people including the janitor in my life. Is it because I'm a woman or because I look weak?

Oh, poor Claire....
Right, you were ignored by him.
I can understand you very well because I also had similar experiences many times before.
But, I can understand the janitor a little. Sometimes, he's very busy and in that case, he put in order. He will put his favorite person's favor in first and next for the next person. It's because you have no friendship or relationship with him. I think all people are like that. Your senior teacher may be acquainted to him.
You don't need to care about it so much. Just forgive him.
I have observed that there is kind of power srtuggle between administrative workers and teachers in a shool. I know it is really silly. Just do what you can do.:)
Claire, don't be sad, it's natural to be depressed and be offended in that situation. But I don't think the genitor respect the senior teacher but he is a little bit afraid of the teacher. We don't need to envy the teacher at all. How about thinking the opposite way. Genitor is not powerful. Maybe he is sick and tired of greeting and paying respect to other powerful poeple. So, it's good to be easy going people for him. Cheer up!
In the past I saw and experienced those kinds of situations. Also in the same way in the future. So I used to think I should have the power.But you need not to do that to yourself.I have a good idea to solve such a sad situation. Say to that man like this, "NI PALTTUK GUKDDA!" This is my secret method.
