0Hmmmm. I'm not sure any of them are what strike me as appropriate to describe the feelings of someone working a lot of overtime. Possibly boredom (she doesn't have any leisure time, so her life is just work work work, and that is boring for her).

00I was trying to pinpoint the meaning of "lethargy." The original uses it, and I'd like to make sure if it amounts to boredom and laziness. In our language and in a dictionary, they are the same.0-
