Summary: Nobody likes the continuing education modules we all have to put up with at work, including our favorite NCIS agents.
"All you have to do is 'stop, drop, and roll.'" Tony stared in exasperation at his screen. "What else is there to know?"
"Another online training module?" Kate asked.
Tony nodded. "Fire safety, a half hour long. And here's where it really gets good. The time we log on will be on our revised schedules. Training is today and I have yet to get a revised schedule."
Kate started laughing. "Last week I got an e-mail advising I was scheduled for online training on the 17th - and the e-mail as sent on the eighteenth."
Tony grinned. "Geniuses. Real geniuses scheduling this stuff."
"Apparently this online training is supposed to be a weekly event," Gibbs remarked.
Tony groaned. "Think anyone would notice if I came down with a weekly virus?"
"How about our computers get a weekly virus?" Kate said, eyes sparkling. "Oh, McGee..."
"Unfortunately, he's on vacation," Gibbs replied. "Till next Wednesday. Too late to get you out of the next couple of classes."
Tony groaned again. "That does it - I'm grabbing a body from the morgue and planting it at a crime scene for discovery."
"I'll call in as the body," Kate added.
"We could apply to work cold cases," Tony suggested hopefully.
"No training is that bad." Gibbs checked his e-mail, then got to his feet. "On second thought, you'll find me in the file vault."
Tony read the e-mail and moaned. "You'll find me in the body vault. What have we got next week? Health and hygiene."
