A one man show
I had no argument for Esmee’s last statement so rather grudgingly I scribbled the initials ESB next to Mi’s name and went about trying to finish the rest of the rota it was not easy when I was trying to Keep Esmee from doing ton much and could almost feel the tiredness set in as I yet again marked my self in for another hour of red’s with Aphrodite.
“For goodness sake Emmet your not superman Esmee protested as she leant over my shoulder pen at the ready and scribbled out almost half of the spots that had my name and added her own instead; my insides twisted slightly as she put her self on night medication for some reason I didn’t like to think of her alone and dishing out a lethal mixture of tablets today she seemed far to fragile.
“My love you have your self in no less then three different places at the same time here Esmee laughed scribbling two of them out and adding her name and Jacobs; I grimaced at the thought of Jacob doing and hour with Marie but realized Esmee was right Jacob was there weather I liked it or not and like it or not it would be impossible to conduct a shift with out using him.
“Now that looks a bit less like a one man show and more of a team effort Esmee smiled clicking the chewed cap of my pen back into place and removing the rota from in front of me so I couldn’t make any more adjustments.
“are you sure you are OK though?” I Moaned resting my head against the table top and sighing it had been a long night and I had a feeling it was going to be an even longer day when we finally got to work.
“I’m sure I am OK, I just rather not think of it. It was a mistake that I made and now I want to forget about it like all cuts they will fade soon and work will be a welcome distraction from them there is nothing like a shift in apple gate house to make me realise I have been a lot, lot worse.”
