A/N Hey, I'm on a roll.

Rooster led Jack through the halls to his office without any incident. This was also the daily routine. Jack sighed as he sat down at his desk. Rooster settled down at his feet while Jack began to shuffle through papers. After years of avoiding paperwork, Jack now found himself constrained to it. At least it wasn't very backed up anymore.

There was a knock on the door and Jack's head tilted up in reaction. He knew the knock. "I'd hate to be the guy who has to write all that in Braille." Daniel teased him.

"Daniel. You sound chipper this morning." Jack said, glad he had an excuse to delay the inevitable.

"Chandra slept through the night. So did we." Daniel took the seat across from Jack's desk. He smiled at Rooster as the dog came up to him wagging his tail. "Hey there boy." Daniel reached inside the jar Jack had on his desk filled with treats. He made Rooster shake before giving him the biscuit.

They chatted for a few minutes, and then Daniel left Jack to his work. Before he could 'read' the first paper, Teal'c walked into his office. "Mornin' Teal'c."

"O'Neill." Teal'c stepped to the desk and laid something on it. "I brought you fresh coffee."

Jack took the cup and drank it slowly, then he sent Teal'c a grateful smile. "Nothing makes paperwork easier then a cup of coffee."

Teal'c agreed while petting Rooster's ears. They chatted for a few minutes, then Teal'c left to prepare for a mission.

Jack finished his cup of coffee and picked up his paper when he heard Janet knock on his open door. "Good morning Jack."

"Morning Janet. I heard your household slept well."

Jack could almost see Janet smile. "It was the first night she slept a full eight hours since she's been born. Ever go six months with only a few hours sleep each night?" Jack raised his eyebrow. "Of course you have." Janet said gently.

"Did you need something Janet?" Jack asked, changing the subject.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing. I don't get to examine you as much any more."

Jack smiled. "Yes, but I do get the occasional papercut."

Janet was about to respond when she was paged. "That's probably SG-3." She explained before saying bye.

Rooster sat back down next to Jack and sighed. "I know boy. This has got to be the most boring job." Jack pressed the button on his watch. "And it's only just begun." He sighed when his watch told him it was eight o'clock.
