Beginning Notes: mardar when I was a kid I had a friend who would half fill a glass with milk than the rest with coffee grounds and then eat the wet coffee grounds with a spoon. I also do that, but with Milo instead of coffee.
badly-knitted I think Ianto's excessive workload is a result of poor communication. Jack never told Ianto or any of the others what his official duties were, so Ianto just cobbled together a list of duties to do. Owen saw him cleaning, assumed that cleaning was what he was hired for, so assigned him to clean-up the autopsy bay and taking care of the dead bodies. Tosh and Suzie saw him cleaning up and re-organising the archives so assumed that he was hire to be an archivist, so they were constantly asking him to fetch items and files from the archives and would summon him to send them back. Gwen and Jack were constantly asking for food and coffee (which started because he went to get himself lunch one day and thought it was rude to buy only for himself and because he works for a bunch of selfish brats who just demanded that he do it all the time). Jack saw him working data entry and confused it with admin so introduced him to all of the paperwork involved with running Torchwood Three (he wanted someone who knew how to keep Torchwood running for when he left with the Doctor). Because Ianto came from an environment (Torchwood One) where if you needed to sneeze you needed all of the proper paperwork in triplicate, he assumed that when the others were piling more jobs on him it was with Jack's okay. And nobody was telling anyone else what tasks they told Ianto to do and no one thought to ask Ianto exactly what tasks he was doing. Which is how Ianto ended up doing enough work for 2-3 full time jobs.
I love Janto I only read NCIS fanfic occasionally, I abandoned NCIS about a season after "Aliyah" simply because I felt that storyline and how they resolved it jumped the shark. What country allows a federal agency to employ a person that has been implicated in espionage and terrorism? Also the longer a television series goes on the characters should grow, evolve become more 3-Dimensional (at least in non-comedic shows) and yet the longer that NCIS runs the more I feel the characters have turn into vicious 2-Dimensional caricatures of themselves.

O: "No I'm bloody not sure. I'm a doctor not a fucking botanist!"
~End
* I actually live in an area where it is illegal to dispose of azalea bushes by burning them because the smoke they create is toxic, you also can't dump them in landfill or bury them because toxins leech into ground.
** I imagined the Spitting Venus to look kind of like the Peashooter from PvZ.
