what quota?

Oh my, 6:45am to 8pm is a lot for an injured brain!

The mom in me is really going to come out and for that I am sorry BUT.... If you do not rest now, you will not be there in 6 months because you have potential to make a lot of mistakes and they will fire you if that is the case... you NEED to rest... You NEED to heal... please, please, please dear take this time for you!!!
