Life advice

One of the people I worked with (or near, I suppose) this summer was a woman from Costa Rica. As soon as she found out I knew a little bit of Spanish she would constantly come by to have a chat. I suspect she was amused, but she was never mean about it, and it was fun to practice Spanish amongst the drudgery.

This one time she was asking me why I hadn't taken my break. I told her a few people hadn't shown up, so we were behind quota.
'Hay suficientes mártires' I think is what she said to me.

The phrase keeps popping into my head.
