How was it possible that today's shift felt even longer than the Christmas Day crazy? Oh right, cause everyone was in a good mood on the big day, even when things went sideways in the worst possible way. Which couldn't be said of today, where people were being forced to visit friends and 'loved ones' prior to the mammoth drinking-binge of New Year's Eve. Today was an endless stream of people who'd put things off that should have been dealt with earlier, but they were too busy celebrating, or the usual catastrophic events that spun people's lives out off their axis.
Which was when she and Mitch stepped in and did their best work.
Jaz stripped out of her uniform and ducked quickly into the shower at the hospital locker-room. It calmed her down and settled the adrenaline of the day to its normal thrum of background anticipation. A drink and a chill out with her best friend would settle her enough so that she could go home and sleep.
A few minutes later she was dressed and heading out of the ladies locker-room to find Mitch waiting for her. Shit. "I was quick," Jaz said, getting her excuses in before Mitch could make his accusations. "At least, I thought I was. Guess that means the first round's on me, huh?" she said with a roll of her eyes. Yep, the first round was usually on her!
