Am apparently too precious due to mental health - hazard pay issues for nurses to kill. I am in fact a precious commodity. It was terrifying though. They sat me down and made me tea.
0810
I don't know what they want but whatever it is they can have it.
0830
Decided to delegate task of nurses pay issues to someone else. I love my rank some days.
0840
…if the nurses get hazard pay for being around me…does that mean I get hazard pay too?
0850
Brilliant!
Wonder if I can convince accountants to pay out?
0900
Last night's dream was…interesting.
0910
General Hammond was about to decapitate me with a breadstick because O'Neill had somehow eloped with Carter and sealed the SG:C proclaiming it to be his Magnificent Castle of Scrummy Yummy Carter Love and was refusing to let anyone else inside.
I don't know.
Please, just don't ask.

I'd go and see the psychiatrists if I weren't so bloody scared of them.
1010
It'd make the nurses day though.
1020
There's something not right about those psychiatrists. There's not much that scares me nowadays, a lot that panics me but not terribly much that scares me anymore. They do.
It was actually one of the reasons they posted me here. Ability to work well under stressful situations. If I'd known babysitting Siler's kids would have been so good for my career I'd've done it years ago.
1100
Am actually considering making it part of advanced training for SG:C selection. That'll scare the cocky little gits.
1130
You try glaring down five, six-foot teenagers related to St Pyro the Burny and see how well you do…not particularly well I'd imagine considering you're an inanimate object.
1200
In which case you'll just have to take my word for it that if being Godfather to seven of Siler's firey spawn won't make you nothing well.
1250
Is requisitions week this week. I hate it. Every year we go through this and its horrific, now O'Neill's in charge its even worse.
1300
I've already had a three hour argument with him over why Gameboys should not become standard issue for SG personnel. The man is ridiculously thick some days, he has to be doing it on purpose. It's like trying to explain the concept of fear to Siler. The more you try to explain the more and more confused they get.
1330
Had to explain to Siler why he's not getting to put in a requisition form for twenty-five new flame throwers. Every year this happens. Every single year he puts one in and every single year he still manages to look like a kicked puppy when I tell him he can't have it. I feel horrible, its just not fair. One should not feel overwhelming guilt for trying to save the lives of half the people on this base, not to mention any passing diplomats or politicians.

MacKenzie says localised structural collapses could probably be managed but he doesn't quite see the application of it.
1423
What on earth is he on about?
1519
SG:1 back from off world again. I think Dr. Jackson may be dead.
1520
Again.
1540
Ah, he was just concussed. Damn. I had this really good speech ready and…
1542
Well it's not like I want the man to die! I wasn't waiting for it or anything...
1545
Oh, come on, look at the odds. There's no harm in being prepared.
1615
Oh, God.
1620
Dr. Jackson may not be dead but I'm fairly certain he's going to kill someone fairly soon.
1630
Siler's just radioed in. He's had a little accident in Dr. Jackson's lab.
1635
Siler doesn't have little accidents. Siler has full scale disasters. The last little accident of Siler's we had involved rebuilding half the alpha site.
1640
Just please tell me the little incident didn't involve a flamethrower and anything remotely flammable. I know that's asking for a lot but just this once.
1700
Oh thank God. The roof's fallen in.
1730.
I think I'm probably the first person to juxtapose "The roof's fallen in" with "oh, thank god".
My life is strange.
1800
Well half his new toys are buried under rubble and Siler's dangling from a light bulb two floors up but apart from that we're fine. He's an archaeologist, he likes digging things up. It'll be fine.
1802
Ouch, Siler's not dangling from the light bulb any more. I'm not sure whether I want that cracking sound to have been an artefact or Siler.
1840
Ah, roof collapse was Carter's fault, there's an interesting turn of events. Something to do with gravitational phase…time…I don't know. To be honest I wasn't listening.
1900
She tried apologising to Daniel but he's not talking to her so she's taken to being apologetic and concerned for Siler which he's loving. Foolish woman still thinks a half dozen broken bones is something to worry about for Siler.
Genius' are such idiots.
1920
At least we don't have to deal with that insufferable little McKay anymore. I lost count of the amount of people I had to stop poisoning the little git.
1940
Although I admit, seeing him faint when he walked into his room and found it filled with a truck full of lemons was priceless.
2000
And no, I have no idea how they were purchased, transported and arranged in his quarters without my knowing and no paper work whatsoever.
Or for that matter the slight error in that months balancing books.
2010
The fact that it roughly adds up to…oh, say, the exact price of purchasing and transporting a truck load of lemons is a complete and utter coincidence.
2015
I swear people are so paranoid now a days.
2100
I wonder how much shipping to the Pegasus Galaxy costs?
