I’m done.

I can’t do this anymore.

I’d rather babysit a rookie’s first contact or negotiate a trade agreement.

Hell, I’d even sit through Star Wars with Teal’c again if it got me out of this.

Because I’ve had this argument over and over, and it never gets settled, no matter how I approach it.

So I quit.

I’m through talking about it.

Notify the press, because I’m admitting that this is one time talking isn’t going to help.

It’s just going to make me madder.

He seems to at least agree with that, because he storms out of my office without another word. As the door slams, I shake my head and sigh.

I try to go back to my latest project, but I’m way too worked up to concentrate.

I lean back  in my chair and close my eyes for a moment.

When I open them, I’m staring at one of my degrees on the wall, and I can’t help but laugh.

Because I’ve had a lot of training in language and culture, and you’d think I could handle this, but I can’t.

No one ever included a module on how to speak Jack O’Neill in their curriculum.
