For those who work in support services in medical facilities...
...one tedious day is much like the other, even during the Yuletide season!
Written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Frank Stack, this story from Dark Horse's one-shot American Splendor: On the Job (1997) is part of Pekar's multiple award-winning, long-running, autobiographical underground comic series American Splendor.
After doing a stint in the Navy, Harvey spent most of his adult life as a file clerk at the Veterans Administration Hospital in his native Cleveland, working there (even while, beginning in 1976, writing American Splendor) until his retirement in 2001, at which point, the slice-of-life comic series and related projects became his full-time gig.
He passed away in 2010 from an accidental overdose of antidepressants while dealing with a third diagnosis of cancer.
(He had already successfully-overcome the disease twice.)
