I have Career Goals that I want to be trained for, right?
Ooh - how about... falconer!
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What makes end-of-last-season Sam appealing?
My suspicion that she got with Jack.
GREAT. Invite-guy answered my second call. Which was too late for me to make it to the meeting in person. I keep explaining to him how to make these clearer, yet in the meanwhile my boss is going to interpret this as my lack of commitment to the project.
I can't be where I don't know about! And I can't make that excuse without ratting out a co-worker something awful.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
What does he do ita? "We should meet up on this project sometime around Dec 8 in the late afternoon. Maybe if the conference room is free."
Cause I hate that.
Ugh. Depressing day. And I think my friend is in a snit because I don't know who the ex of the bridesmaid he slept with last weekend is. If I do watch reality tv, it's as background, therefore I know nothing of Survivors, Batchelors, Makeovers or Millionaires. Sorry dude.

My suspicion that she got with Jack.
Ah, you didn't see the Joe Mallozzi interview, then. He said, fairly categorically, that Sam and Jack are not together. He didn't explain what Sam meant when she dodged Barrett's inquiry by saying she wasn't entirely single. Which doesn't mean she couldn't have gotten Jack once or twice, but that according to the producers they aren't an item.
I liked Dorkverse!Sam when she thought Daniel was attractive, but then she caved again. Which annoyed me. Eh, whatever.

He has a standing meeting invite, with a room attached. So I showed up in that room, and he didn't, and he apologised for not telling me it was going to be dial in only. That's more than mildly annoying when I have to drive to get to that room.
Now, he sent out a meeting confirmation for that same meeting, which has since then been dial in. In the confirmation body, which disappears once you update your calendar with it, he mentioned, vaguely, a room where it was going to be held.
So I e-mailed him for clarification, and left a phone message, in plenty of time for me to get there. He answered neither. When I got a hold of him too late for me to drive in, he seemed surprised I wasn't going to be there in person.

You are being waaay too nice about it, ita. He's screwing up, he needs to take the blame.
Hey, who wants to help me write my Individual Development Plan? I have Career Goals that I want to be trained for, right?
I'm stilll avoiding that.

I dunno. I think birds that could eat my eyeballs are scary. But if I could train them to eat other people's eyeballs, that could work!
Stomach still hurts. Want go home. Blah.
Ohgod me too. Though for once there's no stomach issue. Just, I wanna go home, rather than making up training I want to pursue and then harassing yet another dentist who's all "oh no, haven't heard a thing about this two-and-a-half-year-old project, why don't you give me a legal citation and I'll call you back?" Grr. Why so difficult?

Because Jack has magical AU sex fish, obviously. Why do you think Teal'c was so disgruntled that time he had to go up there with Jack alone? 'Cause the fish made them have sex!

At least I didn't have to write the evaluation, though my boss did offer me five bucks to do it. I don't think he was serious.

But scary in a good way, right?
Problem with ratting anyone out is that even though I'm right, I think it will turn into being about me making excuses for my lack of commitment, and not about them. So I'll just smooth-talk around it with my boss, should it come up, and try and wrangle him instead.

Exactly! The sex fish!
