So, there's this girl ...

... we won't give her a name. A combination of bad health and exhaustion from over-working led her to have a breakdown. She's still really fragile from it, because it wasn't too long ago. She's kind of been part-time at her work to avoid being signed off, and this week is the first week she's done more than one shift in a row.

And yet ... and yet the first chance the people she works with get, they understaff her shift. And people don't show up for it on top of that. Her superiors leave her with all their last few jobs. Her voice is fading, she can barely make a sound. Someone she was expecting in quit and no one told her until the last minute. Everyone expects her to talk with no voice, to give them answers. She has her own work to do, and extra work one of those who left earlier emailed over. She now has to do the work of the girl who quit on top.

She didn't get home until 5am. She was due home at 1am.










How long until you would crack completely?
