Hey, Hi,
I have a condition called Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome, make me pass out in times of stress, dehydration, or from overtiredness. Maybe this intern has a medical condition, or is pregnant. To say that she won’t be “re-upping” on her job for passing out is a little bit insensitive. People pass out sometimes. It doesn’t mean that they are disinterested, bored or that they don’t care about their surroundings.
Thanks!
Love your work! (all of you’s at TYT)
