A lot of hope is what you had when you first moved from Czechoslovakia. You successfully graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and to be an artist has always been your dream. But life is never what one desires and so you had to flee from your homeland to West Germany. You managed to make a decent life here, but, when you tried to have your academic qualifications recognized, it was impossible and no one was willing to give you a proper position without qualifications. So you had to find this job as a cafeteria worker by the Research Center in order to keep your work residence permit valid. A job that you don't like and that you have to do day after day. And now they even ask you to work during the weekends and you cannot say no, you cannot risk losing this job. Working on Saturday... sure you will try to do as little as possible, not that anyone will pay any attention to what you do. Nobody does it. Never.
