I love my team, really I do. But they really need to learn how to de-stress.
I mean, we come into some over-due and well deserved down time, and I can't find a single sane person to join me at my cabin! Who wouldn't want the peacefulness of sitting on the dock, casting out that perpetual line, with a cooler pack of ice and drink of choice, feeling the sun on your shoulders, listening to the birds in the day, the crickets in the evening, the loons at night – well, I didn't say it was a quiet vacation! But no cars whizzing by, no death gliders overhead, no diving for cover from hidden enemy Jaffa wielding staff weapons... see, peaceful!
But MY team, hell no!
Carter gets this deer-caught-in-the-headlight look when I approach, and I can tell she's trying to figure out what sounds the most scientifically complicated of what's going on in her lab, so she can techno-babble me to boredom until I leave. Personally, I'm pretty sure it's not my company she's dreading – it's either the damned mosquitos, or maybe she just doesn't like worms. Hmmm.
Daniel is off to some warm climate so he can stick his head into culture again. You'd think he'd have had enough of deserts on Abydos, but apparently not.
And Teal'c ... well, I did manage to get him out to the cabin once. After sounding surprisingly distraught (for him), he used his then defunct cell phone (funny that) to swat mosquitos. No one I'd rather have my six off-world, but not so much fun when there is a severe lacking of action to be had. I definitely need to work on his concept of a fun peaceful way to spend downtime, but I just don't have the energy this time.
Even Doc has plans with the kidlet – I convinced them to come up once grin. Cassie had a blast learning how to fish (now there's a kid who's not squeamish in the least about worms!), and Janet had a blast relaxing with the coolers. And I had someone to share the not-so-silent peace with ... it does get a tad lonely up there. I really need to get a dog. Sigh.
