Disclaimer: House M.D isn't mine. If it were House would be snarkier and whack people with his cane more often :)
Allison's POV
Many people think that I'm morning person, well if they thought that then they would be wrong. I hate getting up in the morning. The only way I function at work is thanks to large amounts of caffeine and chocolate. No one knows my secret though and I would rather it stay that way because you can guarantee that once House gets hold of the information I'll get phone calls at all hours asking for things to be done. I wouldn't put it past him to do so. The only time that my routine got altered was if a patient was in the ICU or had died. Apart from that my routine stayed the same: up at 6.30 am, morning jog, breakfast, shower, get dressed, go to work.
When I got to work I would fill three mugs with coffee, the red one had four extra sugars in it as that was House's. It was what his mood somewhat reasonable during the day. After filling my own mug with coffee I would then sort out the stack of mail on my House's desk, as if he sorted them out himself you could guarantee every single letter would end up in the bin. Sometime later the boys would walk in, drink their coffee – which had nearly cooled to the point where it tasted disgusting – then sit around and wait for a case to be assigned to us. Normally we weren't waiting around for long, then we were off. That was my usual day.
But today, wasn't a usual day.
