You report to the factory at 5 AM. Hope you woke up in time to eat breakfast before work! After 7 hours of work, you get 40 minutes to eat lunch. Eat your dinner—but don’t stop working! You’ve got 13 hours under your belt—only 3 to go. Finally! After 16 hours, your day is over. Hurry home so you can get a bit of sleep before you come back tomorrow. After working 10 hours, you’re pretty sleepy. Be careful—if the overseer catches you nodding off, he’ll whip you! Your Work Day
