Not exactly a productive day...

[thegrrrl2002]

Trying to read through an updated Request for Proposals from the federal government:

...okay...146 pages...not prime...how the hell am I going to staple this?

:finds monster stapler, and staples::

Okay..page 1...wait, I need more sunflower seeds, that little sandwich for lunch didn't quite do it.
::reads::

No more modular budgets, damn, that's going to be a pain. Where's my hairclip? I can't work with my hair in my face like this.

::rummages through three drawers, finally finds appropriate clip in purse::

Okay, page 1. ::highlights new budget info::

::checks email--no new messages::

::refreshes flist--no new posts::

on to Page 2, and...

Jack looks up to see Daniel standing in front him, arms crossed. And staring. "What?" Jack says impatiently.

Daniel shrugs.

"I have work to do." Jack waves a hand over his desk. "Paperwork," clarifies.

But Daniel doesn't move. "I know." His biceps bulge just a little when he stands like that, Jack notices, not for the first time.

"Daniel."

"Jack."

Jack scrawls his name in the appropriate box, and places his shiny gold I'm-a-general-now pen back in its holder. "Daniel, we're not doing it in my office. End of discussion."

"Jack, it's midnight. No one is around."

Startled, Jack checks his watch. "No it's not--" Six o'clock, his watch reads. He picks up his next memo. "Cute, Daniel, very cute."

Daniel smiles proudly and Jack almost expects him to blurt out "made you look." Instead, though, he says, "I do know your security camera doesn't work."

"I know that too. And I've put in the request to have it repaired."

Nodding thoughtfully, Daniel continues, "I'm sure they'll be coming in any minute now to replace it, too. Unless you've forgotten to sign your own work request."

"Crap." Jack shuffles through his inbox, and yup, there it is, Work Request for SE-998, returned for signature. He tosses it down on his desk, and slumps back in his chair.

"That chair," Daniel comes closer, leaning over his desk. "It's, uh, leather, isn't?"

Jack rubs his fingers over the soft, worn chair covering. "Hmmmm."

.....

Where was I? Oh, yeah, the Solicitation.

::checks email::

Yay, email!

You're feeling better.

And your hair is clipped.

And you're writing.

/dusts off hands/ My work here is done.

All hail the mighty Chelle, Restorer of Mojo!

::bows down before you::

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Wait, is that another new icon? It's gorgeous!

[wickdzoot.livejournal.com]

You are so cute. :beams:

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Cute? So not cute. I'm big and scary. And my brain is totally unruly.

Oooh, kitties! ::pets cute kitties::

[tirica.livejournal.com]

He! That's exactly what I do when I should be studying.. only I don't write but read fics.. ;P

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Brains, brains everywhere, wandering around, doing everything they shouldn't.

Sounds like a B horror movie.

Now that would be a fun fic, wouldn't it?

*g*

[skater-g8r.livejournal.com]

I love your brain 8-))

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

::kisses you::

I love your naughty-icon-making brain, too. *g*

[catspaw-sgjd.livejournal.com]

Productiveness is all in the eye of the beholder (she says, sententiously).

And *this* eye ::points to face:: is quite satisifed that say, oh, 150 words, more or less? Satisfies the criteria for the above proposition.

Now go! Solicit! Or whatever the hell it is you're supposed to be doing *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I like your Theory of Productiveness. I shall subscribe to it from now on.*g*

[miera-c.livejournal.com]

If you took all the time I waste refreshing web pages pointlessly, I could probably have read the entire stack of books on my desk. And come up with a unified theory, even though I dislike science in general.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

LOL. Sometimes I'm amazed I ever made it through grad school. I think I was more focused when I was younger.

Now I can just happily stare into space all day.

[destina.livejournal.com]

Somehow I just knew those two would make their way back to the paperwork eventually. *is happy*

And now, I have to get back to mine.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I just find Jack/Paperwork adorably sexy. *g*

[kageygirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, productivity is totally relative. Have I done any work today? No. But, hey, finished my stupid fucking remixredux fic, so, that's a good day, right? *eg*

Mmm. Leather. Daniel's such a smartie. *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Yes, that *is* a good day. A finished fic? You must celebrate all weekend. You must!!

And Daniel is a smartie. *g* He knows just how good that leather would feel on his naked little ass.

[carolyn-claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me through this utter headdesk of a day. *crawls toward you like a really, really thirsty person in a very dry place*

See, I have no words. But if I have to talk to one more person I'm going to scream.

*loves Jack and Daniel and does not scream*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

::pets you::

No, wait, just picture Jack and Daniel, petting each other. Long, slow strokes, Daniel's hand on Jack's sleep-warmed back, Jack's hand on Daniel's thigh. His touch is light, just a tickle along the little golden hairs...

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

I love you and your tasty brain.

What did we do before computers, the internet and The Hewlett?

Oh yeah, I remember.

[miera-c.livejournal.com]

tried to learn to crochet?
(i had a lot of free time in the early 90s.)

[slb44.livejournal.com]

I so like the way you work lady! *beg*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Eeeee, well it was scary today, when I came in and saw how little I did last Friday. *g*

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

ah....jack is so toast isn't he? *veg*

write more please. much more. and i hope you survived the day. eight minutes to scifi friday: first up ...threads. *squeeees*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Jack is always toast when it comes to Daniel. And he lands butter side down.

*g*

[tafkarfanfic.livejournal.com]

eeee! Love it.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

::giggles::

Thank you.

[ex-danvers514.livejournal.com]

This entry totally did not show up on my f-list. It's not the first time either. This worries me. All that slash I might be missing ;-)

Great snippet. That's a peak into the slasher's mind right there ;-)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

LJ has been wierd lately, hasn't it? I go back and new posts are there, that I know I didn't see before, too. It sucks.

And not in a good, slashy kind of way.

[brandinsbabe.livejournal.com]

oh just beautiful!!! exactly what i needed!

i found you through a friends journal and since your such a j/d fan i friended you, hope you dont mind :)

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

LOL, glad you liked it. I couldn't get my brain to stop last week.

And friend away, you're very kind!

::Bursts out laughing::

The government's loss is our gain, baby! That was hilarious. Reminds me of me, only more funny. :-)

"That chair," Daniel comes closer, leaning over his desk. "It's, uh, leather, isn't?"

Oh. Oh, that's a great ending. A terrific tease and I'm grinning from ear to ear. Thank goodness for distraction.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You're very kind. It was a good distraction for me, too.

I kind of miss Jack and Daniel, because I've been so caught up in my shiny new fandom. Yet whenever I start writing J/D fic, it just peters out, because I feel as though I have nothing new to say about them.
