overtime
Overtime is the ritual of offering one’s hours beyond the scheduled end to corporate demands. Though it thwarts any hope of free time, it is often lauded as a badge of dedication. Faced with endless tasks, even the hands of the clock lose compassion, and the concept of time itself goes missing. What remains in a dark office is the life that should have been saved for the future. You may live in a place where the clatter of keys drowns out your family’s voices.
