Bad Day??? Maybe Not!!!

It was going to be a bad say, she though as she woke up to find that it was still raining hard. Luckily though there was no off-world mission planned for SG1 for a couple of days. Daniel had requested some time in his lab to catalogue his most recent finds and Sam had decided to use that time to run some experiments on the latest findings of naquada. She yawned, the rain had been so heavy last night that it had kept her awake and when she finally started to drift of she was awoken by the glare of lightning streaming through her curtains. Opening the fridge she found that her milk was off, she mentally snapped at herself, knowing that if she came home more regularly and didn't stay up too late working on impossible equations, she might not have to crash at the base so often and might actually start to live in her house and not just visit it. She had realised that she had been waiting a long time for her coffee machine to boil whilst lost in her own thoughts. Turning to look at it she discovered the power wasn't on, despite everything being switched on correctly. Looking around she realised that it was in the middle of a power cut and grabbed her bag and left to go to work – feeling immensely annoyed.

As she got in the elevator, she collided with the Colonel, quite literally and slipped on the floor her coat had just dripped on, she found herself in a heap on the floor. He immediately picked her up and closed the elevator doors so she wouldn't be too embarrassed; and then turned to look at her. She looked soaked! "Sorry sir." She said sheepishly, running her hands through her hair, squeezing out the water.

"No Sweat – you ok Carter?"

"Yes Sir – thanks."

"You look a little…wet…..soaked!"

She laughed "I'm kind of having a bad day Sir – and I forgot my umbrella."

"Go dry off Carter- have a shower, warm up and change."

"But I have to…"

"You don't want to be ill do you – go – or I'll make it an order!" he added with a smile.

"Yes Sir" she replied as she went on her way to the woman's locker room.

20 minutes later she walked into her lab feeling warm, cosy and also very tired, after the hot shower. She sat down to find a steaming cup of coffee in front of her and a note beside it.

'Smile Carter! ' She laughed and brought the cup of coffee to her lip. Maybe today wouldn't be such a bad day after all!
