Two sugars, optional 'please'

I work as a personal assistant in the NHS (National Health Service). Without a doubt it's the busiest job I've ever had, but I also work with some incredibly caring people, many of whom are nurses, and overall they're the best group of people I've ever worked with.

I've been unwell for the last week and a bit, culminating in my taking yesterday off work as a virus wreaked its worst on me. I was back in my office today, croaky-voiced and coughing, One of the directors I work for popped her head in to say sympathetically how terrible I looked.

I was caught completely unaware when, in the same breath, she asked "any chance of a cup of tea?" So much for sympathy.
