I worked in a restaurant. I worked 12 hours every day and only had two days’ holiday each month. Because there were only a few workers in the restaurant and many customers coming to it, we did a lot of things every day: mopping the floor, wiping the tables, clearing the dishes, serving the customers, making coffee, and so on. I kept busy as soon as I started to work, having no time to take a rest. After a whole day’s work, I often ached all over with tiredness, and sometimes my arms were also swollen and painful.
