The one where Daniel, quite politely, asked him if there was some sort of problem with his reports. Was Jack not receiving them in a timely manner? Some people read more quickly than others. Was the font size troublesome? Eyesight can deteriorate over time, perhaps Jack should have that looked into.

The one where Daniel asked him, none too politely, to at least skim through his reports before they went into a briefing, because he was tired of having to stop in the middle of a sentence, numberless times, to answer Jack’s inane questions that would have been unnecessary if Jack would at the very least bother to skim through his reports; and was that really too much to ask?

The one where Daniel advised him that in future he would be attaching a bullet point summary to each report that he sent to Jack; one using very small words that a child of meager understanding could understand, and if Jack needed help finding such a child to help him interpret these documents Daniel would be more than happy to oblige. Anything for his Commanding Officer. The words ‘commanding officer’ were underlined, italicized and bolded in such a way that even a Commanding Officer of meager understanding would have perceived the sarcasm. If he had bothered to read the memo.

The memo from Sam that contained the information, hidden in extremely formal and round-about terminology, that one of Colonel O’Neill’s team members was a trifle unhappy and that something perhaps needed to be done before said team member… here the language grew so vague that it was unclear exactly what action she was fearing on the part of this unnamed team member.

The memo Teal’c sent was much more to the point:

O’Neill. I believe that your life is in danger.

Jack really, really should have read that one.

HA! the second to last line FTW

Teal'c doesn't fart around. LOL

(deleted comment)

Nobody's more dangerous than Daniel!!

Hee. I really, really want to see/read the outcome of this. :D

Jack has to be the most infuriating "Commanding Officer" of all time... I just hope he finds some way to make it up to Daniel.

Jack will be making this up to Daniel for the foreseeable future. :-D

It'll be one step forward, two steps back, unfortunately, because he'll never reform his ways.

From: Sargent Francis X. O'Malley, Head of Security, SGC
To: Maj.Gen. George S. Hammond, SGC, Commanding

At 0817 today I was summoned to the office of Dr. Daniel Jackson by Capt. Carter, where I and my men were forced to subdue Dr. Jackson, who was attempting to pierce Col. O'Neill with a dagger [said to be of 18th Dynasty Egyptian design] brought back from PX3-396. Dr. Jackson appeared to be enraged and was shouting about memos and the necessity that Col. O'Neill prove that he was able to read. We subdued him, and confiscated the dagger, and eight similar implements, and at that point, Col. O'Neill said that our services were no longer needed. He stated that "What happens in SG-1 stays in SG-1, right, Daniel?" However, I felt you should be informed, in case there are further developments.

LOL! This all could have been avoided if Jack would just read his memos. :>

When he could enjoy the latest copy of Mad Magazine?!!! A ~~man~~ boy's gotta have his priorities! :-)

:-D

Love the details about the dagger, and the eight similar implements. Daniel's office is not a safe place when he's righteously pissed off!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

*looks at your icon*

And... they'll never be an old married couple at this rate. Jack won't survive long enough! :-D

Hee! Poor Daniel! It's nice that Teal'c and Sam had his back, even though Jack never read theirs either.

I'm not sure whose back Teal'c and Sam actually had. I think they were just trying to prevent bloodshed in general, lol.

(But Sam totally empathizes with Daniel, omg.)

::snickers:: I image Daniel will have to make his point a little more forcefully. :)

But not, one hopes, too forcefully. ;-)

LOL!

Jack just needs to watch his step, that's all I'm sayin'. (And all Teal'c's sayin'.)

*g*

He's hopeless! :-D

Can't comment. Laughing too hard!

That's what I like to hear! \o/

Teal'c is, after all, awesomeness defined!

Daniel's passive aggressive notes and Sam's note deteriorating into waffle - so them!

I'm glad the characterizations worked for you! Total blast to write this. *g*
