the revenge of the web orders
Jul. 12th, 2004 02:51 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I feel horribly ganged-up upon by inanimate objects. And, I suppose, the total strangers (who are animate) sending these inanimate emails and telephone calls. Just... a *lot* of web orders. And emails. And the phone hasn't stopped ringing such that I haven't even *listened* to my metric craploads of voicemails yet.
*buries head in paperwork, like ostrich*
I will get through today. I WILL.
I probably shouldn't have hit
mystic_isles000, though. That was kind of unprofessional. Even though it was totally in self-defense because she jumped out at me from nowhere. *snuggles sister* She has apparently forgiven me, because she just came into my office and did her Jack-as-velociraptor-in-"Broca-Divide" impersonation for me. My day is much improved.
It's so nice to work in the same place, even if our coworkers (justifiably) believe we are complete and utter loony bin escapees.

"That is definitely not your side-arm, sir."
"I'm naked, Carter."
"Indeed, O'Neill."
"Yeah, Jack, about that..."
"AH! Daniel, I don't wanna hear you complain. It's not like *you* spent the day--"
"Sir?"
"Carter?"
"Turn over."
"Oh. *muffled* I feel like toast."

Date: 2004-07-12 08:17 pm (UTC)Did they ever mine in salt mines on the show? I remember one where Daniel went off to be semi-royalty and look hot, whilst the other three were mining *something*, but I don't remember what it was...Daniel got addicted to the sarcophagus, I believe...
Er. Yes. Eheh.
*innocent* Me, derail the conversation from naked!Jack to hot!Daniel??

Date: 2004-07-13 04:48 pm (UTC)And did we ever figure out what sort of "ore" got processed on Terok Nor? I think they do a lot of generic ore mining in Star Trek.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-14 10:49 am (UTC)But I think what they were processing on Terok Nor was uridium. I think that's Treknochemistry, too, but it sounds real enough....

Date: 2004-07-14 04:41 pm (UTC)And I'm an awful judge of whether something is Treknobabble or actually exists. Awful. When I was a kid, I thought fax machines were miniature transporters.

Date: 2004-07-13 04:51 pm (UTC)Sam and Jack should definitely have traded massages there. Definitely. And snuggled together for body heat at night. *nods* (and, I suppose, so that random miners and guards wouldn't try and snag her. Although it might be fun to watch them try, because she'd kick them in the head)
Gotta watch out for his team, and all...
Re: ...!
Date: 2004-07-13 11:20 pm (UTC)After all, being cold (and the whole not having painkillers and it being that time of the month --which is why you NEVER actually SEE Carter working, 'cause it hurts too damned much-- Jack's probably good at backrubs, because I betcha he did them for Sara. Even when she wasn't pregnant).
*pities Sam*
Date: 2004-07-14 12:15 am (UTC)And Jack's *so* good at backrubs. And that talent should not be going to waste all this time, people. It's a crime, in fact.
Heh. They should totally borrow a page from Enterprise and have half-naked massage playtime as friends. For medical purposes. Well, I suppose that's one benefit of pants!verse :)

I could... like... promise to write you pants!verse (or !verse of your choice) fluff in exchange, or something... *bats eyes*
Re: *shrieks*
Date: 2004-07-13 03:26 am (UTC)I have too many of these damned things as it is... ;)
And, hell, pants!verse should always be written...
*LOVE!*
Date: 2004-07-13 03:57 am (UTC)pants!verse SHOULD always be written! Perhaps after my doctor's appointment tomorrow I will declare it a Day Of Pants.
Muse appears amenable, but she is a fickle little wench.

Date: 2004-07-14 04:45 pm (UTC)But damn. That last big arc of DS9 is, like, the sexiest television EVER. I made at least two people get into the show and watch the entire series just so that they could watch and appreciate the final chapter. Breen! Damar! OdoandKira!! EZRI! Man, I loves it all.

completely medical!

Janet: "That was Sam."
Daniel: *eyes caller ID* "What'd *Sam* want?"
Janet: "She's sunburned. Wanted to check with me about treatment."
Daniel: "This is funny?"
Janet: "She's walking around Jack's house right now with *no pants!*"
Daniel: "FINALLY."
Janet: "No, no, this is apparently for medical purposes only. They're still not having sex."
Daniel: "'Medical purposes'? You are KIDDING me."
Janet: "I know. I KNOW."
Daniel: "She's naked in his house!"
Janet: "I have a bad feeling she got sunburned on purpose."
Daniel: "Do you call County Mental Health, or do I?"

Re: how dare it.

well...
Date: 2004-07-13 04:53 pm (UTC)Although then she has to keep mentally beating herself with things for fantasizing about him and *gasp* almost getting caught, so, I suppose it's not that fun for her, either. But that's just 'cuz she's dumb. (because, come on, would Jack really *mind*?) *snuggles cute dumb Sam*

Date: 2004-07-13 05:19 pm (UTC)Jonas: "You know Sam talks in her sleep?"
Jack: "What, off-world?"
Jonas: "No, here."
Jack: *eyes as if to say 'and WHY was she sleeping in your presence not off-world?'*
Jonas: "Nonono. We were working on that artifact in her lab and I got reading and didn't notice she fell asleep on her keyboard."
Teal'c: "Major Carter does have a tendency to take rest in odd locations."
Jack: "It's called passing out, and I'll have a talk with her about it."
Jonas: "But she was talking about *you.*"
Jack: "Like... Yu?"
Teal'c: "I do believe Jonas Quinn was not referring to Lord Yu, but, in fact, to *you.*"
Jack: "Uh..."
Teal'c: "That is most fascinating."
Jack: "Um, and... what was she saying about me?"
Jonas: "Well, I couldn't make most of it out, as she was talking into her keyboard, but I think she was saying something... oh, is that cheesecake?"
Jack: "JONAS!"
Teal'c: "Jonas Quinn, please complete your thought."
Jonas: "Oh. Well, it was something about a broken capacitor. Did you break anything in her lab recently?"
Jack: *blinks*
Teal'c: "That was not what I expected you to say, Jonas Quinn."
Jonas: "You really should be more careful with her stuff. She almost hit me the other day when I dropped this compositor. It didn't even break."
Jack: "Uh... yeah."
Jonas: "Oh. And there was something else. About fishing?"
Teal'c: "I believe O'Neill has requested her to accompany him on fishing trips on numerous occasions."
Jonas: "Oh. Is that why she has a 'fishing for dummies' book hidden in her office?"
Jack: "What?"
Jonas: "Yeah. She put another dust jacket on it. I found it when I was trying to look up the metric weight of the Golden Gate Bridge."
Teal'c: "For what purpose were you researching such a thing?"
Jonas: "Oh! I-"
Jack: "Really? Fishing? Hidden in her office?"
Jonas: "Yeah! And it was all high-lighted and everything."
Jack: "I'm gonna go... talk to her. About the passing out at work thing."
Jonas: "I can tell Doctor Fraiser, if you want."
Jack: "No! I'll do it."
Teal'c: "I wish you luck, O'Neill."
Jonas: "Can I have your cheesecake, then?"

Because I am a bad person. A lot of my job is fits-and-starts between calls but I can't leave my desk if I'm waiting for someone to call back (and the rest of the process of dealing with these orders takes place in other rooms), so... pretty much everyone with a computer has an internet vice in this place. :) And now you're making me feel guilty. Shame on you :-P
(Plus, it's a sanity-saving thing. "Okay. *breathe* Answer these 4 calls of doom and then you can check LJ again. *breathe*")

Date: 2004-07-13 10:54 am (UTC)...what is pants!verse? I am terribly curious! Obviously it involves pants, and possibly the strategic removal of same, but...
*looks inquisitive*
*laughs*
Date: 2004-07-13 05:04 pm (UTC)Basically, this results in them building a solid friendship and being very very happy, because they get to be together all the time and get to know each other and *gasp* fool around without there being all this ANGST. And, incidentally, also makes it a lot more likely that they will be able to get into a "real" relationship without pants later without crashing and burning, because they had this long warming-up period of friendship and fun and pants. YAY!
