Scales and shattered vials
I'm standing at the old compounding counter, but the measuring scale is made of paper and the weights are tiny glass marbles. Every time I try to weigh a powder, a vial falls off the shelf and shatters on the floor. Nobody else seems to notice. I just keep sweeping it up, over and over.

I know that rhythm. Got a panel out at the old mill that's been throwing the same fault for three years. Every time I think I've fixed it, another vial shatters. Nobody sees the glass.

I know that dream. In my line of work, it was counting keys that would never stop coming out wrong. The sweeping part's the worst—you know it's pointless but you can't stop.
