Fantastic stuff, MM. Depending on the shape the overall work takes that could be a great anchor - why the way we approach CS is destroying us from within, is symptomatic of our intrinsic societal problems, whatever. Powerful and thought-provoking.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Lord God, MM, I know whereof you speak. I never hated Christmas more than the year I worked Postal Service customer support. And then I listened to the entitled morons working around me as they laughed at the people whose monthly welfare checks were missing.
There needs to be somewhere that Customer/Tech Support people can go to try and hold on to their humanity. A clearinghouse for stories where humanity was not proven to be a lost cause.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wish I could read the whole book right now, MM.

MM, is it OK if I forward that to some of my coworkers? I think they'd find it relevant--we're not CS, but we/they are professional compassion-givers who are chronically overstretched and often burned out.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Yeah, sure, Susan. Rock on.

If you want a beta, I'll do it, MM.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's fantasic, MM. And I agree with -t, that piece would make a good anchor for the rest of your stories.
