Day 44: Intercom, Noon
Despite Lydia's utterly professional demeanor, a sigh was still audible as the intercom clicked on. It didn't seem like she enjoyed doing announcements much, even if she took on the duty without complaint.
"Hello, everyone. This is Head Nurse Lydia again. I hope you are... clean." She paused; clearly, she didn't have the same enthusiasm as the Head Doctor despite how much she might try to force it. She cleared her throat. "We will be now serving lunch in the cafeteria. Hamburgers and hot dogs, with regular assorted toppings for either. On the side will be fries, potato chips, or onion rings. We of course have a salad bar. And the usual drinks."
Instead of rambling on, Lydia, in her usual manner, ended with:
"That's all."
The intercom clicked off, continuing to leave the Head Doctor's current state a mystery.
