This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.

A Tuesday off in the middle of launch week. The work does not evaporate. It waits, and Wednesday arrives holding two days of it plus every meeting that got moved. Burnout grows out of a workload and a manager who set it, and one absence changes neither. The day can end in dread about the return. Relief comes from fewer tasks.
