Jack wandered into the base thinking about SG1's next mission, as well as the previous night's episode of the Simpson's. Reaching security, he showed his pass and then decided to find out if Carter and Daniel were in yet.
"Dr Jackson signed in at 0600, sir" said the SF, as he inquired. Jack looked at his watch. It was now just after 0800,
"And Major Carter?"
"She hasn't signed in yet, sir"
"She hasn't?" Jack frowned, that was a surprise
"However she didn't sign out at all yesterday, sir, so she must still be on base."
Jack frowned again, as much as he disliked the fact that his 2IC had obviously worked straight through the night again, it wasn't a surprise to him. He knew she was busy, far busy than him, and even Daniel. He pondered over her responsibilities as he travelled down in the elevator. She was a full time member of SG1, head of the science department, in charge of all the gate management, had to help generally with computers and other technology – both at the SGC, Alpha site and occasionally she was even called on by Area 51 for help. He shook his head in wonder of how she did it all, no wonder she sometimes got grouchy with him when he came to 'fiddle' with stuff in her lab!
Making a mental note to ask her if she wanted him to get Hammond to find her some more staff so she would have more free time, he headed in the direction of his office. He had finished most of his paperwork yesterday, but to his annoyance as soon as he gave the finished reports to Hammond, the general simply asked if he would have to wait another 2 weeks for the remainder! Scowling at the memory as he sat down in front of his computer, he opened his emails. Junk, junk, junk, spam…. He muttered as he went through them. He got to one from Felder which he promptly deleted. Then he had an idea. Knowing Carter would almost certainly be monitoring her emails, as she always seemed to get 100's of messages a day from various mr know it alls, and science geeks, he pressed compose, and started typing, his face lighting up into a cheeky grin.
To: Carter, Samantha
Subject: Important
0700 : go to work
1000 : coffee break
1200 : lunch + blue jello
1600 : cake
1900 : home time
24hours a day / 2 equals 12 hour work + 12 hours off duty
Missions + work equals downtime
Downtime is compulsory and includes leaving the base and not coming back
E.g. fishing, shopping, watching the Simpson's, flying a kite, jello wrestling.
1 shift is less than 12 hours
Sleep > 6 hours
All-nighters are prohibited
Helpful Hint: Regular breaks for coffee, jello and cake are greatly encouraged
Downtime equals holiday
Holiday equals leaving the state e.g. Fishing
Carter,
Thought you might be able to understand this better in this format, get some sleep

Jack smiled, and pressed send.
Note: Sorry about all the 'equals' i tried putting in the maths signs, but it wouldnt let me:)
