You are living low. All your clothes are getting ragged. You eat one or maybe two very small meals a day. You walk to work and back even though going one way takes forty minutes. No heat no Cool. You chill and sweat out the seasons. Still you only get 12 hours a week, except during the Christmas season when you get up to 16 hours. You are thin and you shoes are held together with masking tape. You would at least read something but you burned all your books to keep warm.
