La carrera de la reina roja

"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else—if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."

"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

So here I am, running as fast as I can just to stay in place. Overworked, undersexed, exhausted, miserable. Wish I could just end it all.
