You do realise how hard it is to lose track of kitchenhands in a busy
kitchen, right? And you realise that in all likelihood, only the head
cook is assigning people things to do? I'm _not_ saying that this is a
nice way to treat a volunteer-- just pointing out that the head cook is
not always monitoring everything, so if you didn't ask for something to
do, you probably got mislaid more than ignored.
