1. Too much paperwork and not enough “action”.

2. Senator Kinsey can drop by, whenever he feels like dropping by, and ask unpleasant questions about the SGC.

3. The whole "not getting a promotion" thing

4. The blue uniforms. He thinks he would look better in green BDUs.

5. Washington isn’t Colorado Springs. That leads directly to
5a) he’s missing Jack
5b) he’s missing Daniel
5c) he doesn’t get enough sex in Washington.

Poor Paul, no promotions and no comfort sex either. ::gigglesnort::

Thank you. Yes, all the sex is in Colorado Springs. *lol*

I think 5 and 1 must go together, because I wondered just what sort of 'action' Paul wasn't getting enough of. ;-)

Okay, #2 makes my skin crawl. That would definitely be a job drawback. Yuck.

Word on #3, Paul! We're all with you on that one.

Thank you. And maybe I was already thinking of that type of "action" while writing #1. *lol*

1) Getting passed over for promotions, but with the current ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy, he figures he’s probably lucky to have a job at all.
2) Paperwork every time Daniel comes back from the dead.
3) Taking that long walk up to someone’s front door, knowing his knock is the one they never wanted. And then having to tell sobbing family members that everything is highly classified and in some cases, there won’t even be a body for them to bury.
4) Flying back and forth between the SGC and the Pentagon and never getting to fly the plane himself. He’s always up to his eyeballs in virtual paperwork on his laptop while flying.
5) He hates it most of all when a snarky, irritated General O’Neill calls him Princess. Sometimes he thinks it might be worth a tour at Ft. Leavenworth for striking a superior officer.
*tip of the hat to Anais for this reference to one of her fics!*

Hee! Awesome :D #2 FTW \o/

Thanks! That darn Daniel just won't stay dead!

Aha! Now we know who gets all the dirty work whenever Daniel comes back.

I ♥ Major Davis. :)

I like him a lot too. I should have loaded up a Davis icon for this one. Thanks for reading!

#3 is just, ouch.

Yeah, someone has to do that and they don't send Generals. Thanks for reading!

These were excellent! I love #2 - very good point there lol. #5 was funny too. #3 was sad, poor Davis :(

Thanks! Poor Paul always gets the short stick. We love him anyway!

Poor Paul, irritated Generals, not flying himself and the paperwork with Daniel! *g*

Especially Daniel making more paperwork for him! Thanks for reading.

#3 just about killed me! OUCH! the rest is all OMGHAHAHAHA - but you decide to just GUT us in the middle?? Funny. and Ebil. and then funny again. ... like ebil pie.

1. Ah!
2, Ha!
3. Damn you, delph! Right in the middle of my laugh at #2. *pouts*
4, Aw!
5. THING! No, wait. Guacamole! LOL

THING! It lives. :o)

Thanks babe! You know me...can't stay serious for more than a moment! :o) Icon love, btw.
