Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think birds that could eat my eyeballs are scary.

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.

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!

Exactly! The sex fish!

I felt like she was going to have to sleep with him after going fishing. Not sure why.

Um, even with Daniel and Teal'c there? I mean, I'm all about the OT4, but ...

I like the concept of magical AU sex fish. Katie, why don't you write a story about that?

Why so difficult?

I suspect this is why they call it Work. Pfeh.

Dude, right there on the shore. No, I mean after/because of the fishing. Plus, magic sex fish.

eta: Ha! Bunch of other people are calling him on the confusion of rooms. Excellent.

If it comes up, "Because the location/format of the meeting varies, I requested clarification on where/what it would be on 12/8 so as to make appropriate arrangements to take part. Unfortunately, Dumbfuck did not respond to either email or messages until it was too late."

There. Nothing to do with committment. It's lack of information even when it was actively sought.

Probably should leave out the Dumbfuck part, though.

Magic sex fish! Yay!

Hmm. coworker wants me to go to Stockton next Friday because a public meeting looks like it is related to a project we want to get. But me? I'm not driving all the way to Stockton without a better guarantee that it's relevant.

Off to the interweb!

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

Probably should leave out the Dumbfuck part, though.

Yeah. Just to be safe, you should change it to Umbday Uckfay.

I'm probably coming off a little strident, but I'm in a situation of a similar nature with the great gonzos here, for the gazillionth time, despite multiple entreaties that they get it right , and it is just pissing me off.

I suspect this is why they call it Work.

Would I sit down and do this voluntarily, without being paid to do so? If the answer is no, it's work.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

But scary in a good way, right?

...yeah, I'm kind of a scaredy-cat. But I'm good with bugs! And non-poisonous snakes.

I like the concept of magical AU sex fish. Katie, why don't you write a story about that?

Because the ficathon is gen, alas.

Which may be why I'm having trouble with it. Also, deadlines make it work, and work and me aren't getting along these days.
