Well, I was working from a delightfully crack-y premise!

George Hammond has the hardest job in the universe, and he loves it, even though it takes its toll. By the time Jack got the job it was made much easier... by the fact that the General in command no longer had to command one Jack O'Neill, although he was, in the final analysis still responsible for his behavior, I suppose.

I am delighted, as always, to have brought you glee.
