Obviously this is the flip side of my other current CS thread. I’m getting really lazy.
I’ve never seen NCIS. Not a single episode. I even had to google who the heck Leroy Jethro Gibbs was.
But I voted for him over Picard. Why? Because I have seen Summer School and Freddy Shoop would make the most awesome boss ever.
Gibbs in a heartbeat. Working for Picard can get you killed more ways than you can count.
Kate. Cassidy. Jenny. Agent Lee. Chris Patchi. The FBI-cum-NCIS agent Agent Lee killed.
Okay, not all of those actually worked for him.
However, it’s oddly comforting to know that, if you DID get killed while working with or around Gibbs, there is no question that he will avenge your death. None of that sissy “All sentient life has the right to exist” for LJG.
Picard, for the reasons already mentioned. Plus - while Gibbs does important work, and is good at it, Picard makes history. Assuming I had the skills, I’d rather help shape the Alpha Quadrant than investigate the odd bit of murder.
Plus, Picard attracts (and inevitably rebuffs) remarkably attractive women. I could be rebound guy!
Abby. I get to look at Abby.
I am leaning towards Picard. Gibbs hits your head when you mess up. I tend to mess up a lot. I would go broke buying Tylenol. Also Gibbs has been known to get depressed, quit and go to Mexico and get drunk a lot and that doesn’t happen with Picard…although there was that whole Bork thing…
As I said - just leaning.
Can I work for Temperance Brennen?
Gibbs absolutely, if only for the assurance that my death would be avenged.
Gibbs, probably. I don’t actually feel the leadership or life expectancy would be that much better, but at least I don’t have to die in a red jumpsuit.
Can I work under Temperance Brennon? Or, better yet, Angela?
This is why I voted Picard. Picard is such a humanist. Gibbs just scowls and builds his stupid boat or whatever.
P.S. bork bork bork! That’s a great typo.
Gibbs because every once in a while, when I did something right, he’d get this twinkle in his eyes when he looked at me.
Oh, and I’d get Abby hugs.
Abby hugs are tempting, but I think Picard is the better boss. The only problem I’d have is the same one I had with Janeway–I don’t want to be on a space ship, even if it’s the spaceship that seems to lose the least amount of crew.
Then again, if I had my anxiety disorder cured, then maybe I wouldn’t mind. So I’m voting Picard.
Critical question: What color is my shirt?
Secondary question: Do I get to pick a job from the Easiest and hardest jobs in Starfleet thread?
I think jetting around space (especially if I get to make peechow! peeeechow! noises) is way more fun than solving crimes. Even if I’m jetting around space solving crimes, I’d have unlimited recreation possibilities in the holodeck. Plus I’d get to disguise myself, sneak up, and bitchslap Deanna. Oh, and I think I’d go find Wesley and tell him that no matter how hated he is now, someday he’s going to write this awesome blog and have legions of fans. No, wait … tell him someday he’s going to head off with a space pervert.
Well, let’s see. If you consider yourself working specifically for Picard, you are clearly one of the senior officers. I mean, Barkley doesn’t put “Jean-Luc Picard” on his resume as last supervisor; he puts “Geordi LaForge.” So clearly your shirt is either red, blue, or amber. 
Unfortunately this guarantees you tons of away team missions.
I voted Gibbs. Because if someone really pissed me off he would probably let me take a long lunch hour to tag their ass with a sniper rifle and give me the “Jethro knows all” look when I got back and it would never be mentioned again. And because if I ever needed a place to stay I would know his door is unlocked and he has beer.
And Abby. Seriously, Abby.
I dunno. Work for Picard and you had a really really good chance of unwillingly joining the Borg on more than one occasion, or being killed as the Enterprise plowed into a planet.
Don’t know who the fuck the other guy is, but for this thread.
Neither-
Gibbs smacks people, and mamma always said smacking people is never ok.
Picard is a pussy.
Another vote for Abby. Plus the twinkle in Gibbs’s eye. Plus I wouldn’t mind reading McGee’s book.
We’ll see. This is about to be put to the test on the show.
I voted for holodeck and other future tech.
