Sure, the weekend had been insane and stupid and insanely stupid, but Rosa was feeling pretty good about getting to be an
actual cop for once around here, even if it wasn't exactly busting up drug rings or solving murders. But then Monday came. Monday
always came, and Rosa was reminded of one more thing she missed about the Nine-Nine that she most certainly took for granted, and that was, in a larger precinct, there was
always someone else to do the god damn paperwork.
"How can an island with
so few people require
this much paperwork?"
It didn't help that her usual frustrations with technology seemed to be in full force that Monday, having to stop several times to glare at her screen, smacking her hand against the side of it as whatever she was working on fritzed out or froze or sometimes just went to a black or blue screen of death.
Eventually, it got so bad that she just ripped her monitor up off the desk and threw it to the floor. Which did not bode well for the monitor, but she pulled out her wallet and threw a couple of bills down on top of demolished equipment. "I'll pay for that," she promised, ever her technology-sucks-anyway motto, and then she dropped back into her desk and...filled out some forms longhand or whatever.
Until Ralph brought over a spare monitor and hooked it up, receiving the brunt of Rosa's glare the whole time. "Thanks, Ralph," she said between her teeth, and you could tell she really, really meant it...
Oh. And don't even get her
started about the Pumpkin...Half afraid that Arlo 2 would try to eat the damn thing (were those just Arlo 2's regular excited licks or something more hungry? She didn't know, but she didn't want to explain to someone, yeah, my dog ate your pet), she brought the Pumpkin with her to the station,
leaving a message for the little green kid to come pick up her damn....Pumpkin.
[[open station is open!]]
