Anyway, I'm kind of pissed off right, but reading Sumiyia's post has calmed me down a little bit. I don't understand why people force other people to do things they don't want to do. My uncle just called our house at 11 pm asking if I'd read a speech about his wife at our party for some Hajjis. We've invited about 65 of my father's college alumni friends because a few of them went for Hajj, Alhumdulillah. My uncle's wife didn't go for Hajj, but he wants me to read a speech about how she got some excellency award in the county she lives in. What really got my blood boiling is when I said NO because I don't like public speaking especially in front of at least 25 PhD/post-doc biochemistry smarties, my uncle said and I quote, "What kind of teacher are you? You're a dummy...." Seriously, WTF? I don't want to read the damn speech which has NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fact that I am a teacher or the THEME of our party, which is to honor the Hajjis. Just because I'm a teacher doesn't mean I like public speaking or brown-nosing.
