Pausing midway through to say that this was a concentrated dose of awesome truthiness from Tosh:

Jack's jaw moved in a way that made Tosh nervous. Jack hadn't been promoted to his position for his managerial skills, or his strategic skills, or his planning skills, or actually, for any reason Toshiko had ever been able to glean other than he was the last man standing when Alex Hopkins had murdered the rest of Torchwood Cardiff. Dead men's shoes, filled by someone who had once been just as terrible as John Hart and was only on the side of the angels by current choice. Jack could always go bad, and wasn't known for making the best choices even when he was trying to be good. He thought with his heart and points south of there; he was impulsive and reckless. Not for the first time, Tosh feared that her association with him was going to get her killed. He needed minders to keep him sane. And one of the two minders he kept on the team was now missing.

Love it, love it, love it. And the nicknames bit. Isn't that the way of all office/team

Tosh rocks so hard sometimes, you know? :) And yeah, some of my past office-type enviornments were toxic, so I'm assuming it's pretty common.

Hope you like the rest!

Ahaha. I was about to copy that paragraph myself. That is the most accurate description of Jack, ever.

*grin* Thanks! Lots of contradictory canon = a very complex character to play with, in terms of what makes him tick.
