My God, She actually expected me to dress as a female nurse on our shift! She was dead serious.
I couldn't understand where she was coming from, but it was sinking in that I had no other really choice. If I wanted to keep my job at the hospital. For that matter, if I hoped to work in any hospital in the city, I had to keep her report from being filed. Once a period of time passed, then the delay would play a part in her ability to report the incident. But in the meantime it was either go along with her crazy scheme or find myself looking for a whole new profession.
Maybe once she'd had time to sleep it off how ridiculous her request really was and back off. So I hoped.
"What do you want me to do?" I caved in fully to her demands, hoping time would weaken her resolve.
"This might even last a month, or longer," she announced, crushing my hope for a quick ending. "We'll see. I want you to have sufficient time to adjust to your new role."
