Scratch That

Sam Carter slammed her apartment door and flopped down onto her couch, still in full uniform.
I can't believe I said that, she thought. And to a full bird Colonel, no less!
Sure, those guys were being macho jerks - especially that Kawalski guy - but that wasn't anything new for her. It’s not like she hadn’t encountered chauvinism in flight school or a thousand other places in her life. She’d grown a pretty thick skin through the years - or so she thought.
But to pop off about "reproductive organs?" In a briefing? To a Colonel?
Sam was mortified. That was grade school stuff. But there was nothing she could do about it now, so she groaned and made herself get up.
She changed into some sweats and laid down on the couch to watch TV.
She didn't last long.
Her body was still on east coast time, and it had been a long day, so she was soon asleep.
But before she fully passed out, Sam grinned just a bit, because despite her rocky start, there was only one thing about her new position that she knew better than the stargate.
She'd better get a promotion (or three) out of this.
