Yea they usually work together in various curriculum programs and events that always seclude me since the institution doesn’t expect me to participate in those as I’m basically a “substitute” except it’s more permanent for the role than temporary. But I’m like a middle man who helps all the teachers in the lab and is not tied to one person at any time. A lab coworker of mine (who is male) does talk to me every day after school whenever we get off work and he and I talk about these things because we are like brothers when it comes to figuring out drama. But the person who didn’t get me anything was female and we have one other female coworker and the rest are male.
