Pleased to report I can now open my own doors, reach things on shelves, and walk across a room in less than a minute. Anyone else still cursed? I would be glad to hear if I was the last one.

[FNRB Leadership]

Permission to report back to duty, effective immediately?

ETA: Did the receptionist position get filled?

[Howard Stark]

Howard, I’m so sorry. The bed was shrunk down for me to make it easier to get in and out, and it broke underneath me when I returned to my normal size. I’m happy to buy you a new one. ~~Bed got the last laugh, that hurt like a sonov~~

[Nadia]

Thanks so much for all your help. When you get a moment, if I could get my clothes back to my regular size? There’s no rush, of course. I got enough to make it through the next day or so.

	It’s your call, but it seems to me like that’s a logistical hole to be filled. I’m willing to serve in whatever capacity best helps the Bureau. I can also make another post to recruit more guards and any other positions you might be lacking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hardly see how you being shunted into the receptionist position is the best use of your skill set. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We appreciate the offer, and while I know you'd make a good receptionist, Peggy is right. You're more valuable elsewhere. Your logistical mind alone is worth a million receptionist positions.

If you're looking to leave portal duty, we have some administrative positions that would be more of a challenge for you. Ianto, for example, doesn't have an assistant and is sorely in need of one. We could use a main point of contact at the base who balances various departments.

	I want to serve the Bureau to the best of my ability, whether it’s in a logistical or administrative capacity, or in portal duty. I think I could have continued to serve in an administrative capacity during the curse where I was unable to help as a portal guard. Please place me where I’m needed most. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you think I can be of assistance, I promise I’ll work just as hard as I would in any position were I placed at the Bureau. In my timeline I often provided logistical support and research at the SSR. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~Jesus, I'm not going to eat you.~~ That was my specialty at Torchwood. Big imperialist British alien research and capture organisation that eventually crumbled under the weight of its own hubris. I was field trained out of necessity eventually but for the most part I prefer to be the one keeping everything running smoothly enough that everyone else doesn't have to think about it - the "guy behind the guy". That means pro-active and detail-oriented, and thanks to the portal a lot more challenging than it sounds.

Now that I'm back to normal, I think you should step down at the Bureau. I know you want to watch my back and be there for the other people you care about, but if that's the reason you're there you won't be at your best. Can't have an ulterior mission, Buck. You know that. I'll make another motivational network post, get more folks to join up ~~and pray Peggy doesn't try to shove me into Jarvis's old receptionist position~~. You should find something you like doing. The other Buck is a PE teacher. The kids didn't even eat him alive.

Unless you can tell me right now that you want to be there, don't be.

	I can tell you honestly that I want to be there for as long as you're there, so I'm not going to step down. Gonna have to deal with that, Stevie, cause it's not changing until you move into another position. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
