I'm sure it'd make a gross mess, and nobody'd like that.

1. The time may pass quickly if you can stay busy.
<<<suspects that's the boy's problem; he's got too much idle time at work.

2. Excuse yourself, go to the restroom, go in a stall & breathe deeply
in and out for as long as it takes.
When you come out, smile all around at those around you as though nothing has happened.
A heart for you!

5. I get you. However, she's at the end of her rope, and even deduction is better
than walking away from job, or causing undoable damage to her employment, etc.
Are new employment regs in place already?
Unions are a good thing in this instance, but unfortunately, fewer jobs are protected by unions anymore.
Damn. Don't primitive pay
any attention to each other?
retrowire's no "she," instead being a boy just out of adolescence--although to his credit, unlike most of the other primitives, he's known poverty,
real poverty,
Grapes of Wrath Okies of the 1930s Dust Bowl poverty.

Is there a chance you can leave early? Walk a bit?

8. okay brain distractions then....
I do not like crossword puzzles as a rule, H.S.German language drills ruined them fo me; when I get the brain spins from my anxiety, I have gone online and done English language X word puzzles. I think cuz I don't like it but I''ll do it , it pulls me&my brain into the thought/memory/intellect part of my physical brain. You got anything like this? Soduko anagrams, math puzzles?

9. Not on me. Boss wouldn't like that
<<<also suspects retrowire's boss wouldn't like it if he knew an employee was hanging around on Skins's island while on the clock, when he was supposed to be working, not playing.

7. I'm so sorry
I've been there. Most days my job was okay, but others...omg I wanted to slap people.
Hang in there. The hours will pass.
