Title: It's simple!

Characters: Jack, Ianto

Challenge: 571 - Simple at tw100
Notes: Ianto can't understand why people don't follow his filing system. A double drabble.

Ianto growled under his breath as he uncovered yet another item in the wrong archive box. Seriously? How hard was it? His system was simple. Things went alphabetically by name and or function, before place of origin, not the other way around! It went under M for modulator chip, not A for Arcateen!

He plucked it out and stomped back to his desk, putting it there for filing away properly later. His job would only take half as long if people put things where they belonged. God help them in the event of a crisis trying to find the one piece of technology that might prevent the world ending.

'Got another one for you, Ianto!' Jack announced, holding up something in his hand as he stood in the doorway. Jack at least was too lazy to put things back himself.

'Oh, and where would you like that filed, sir?' he seethed. 'G for green, or maybe F for forty-third century? How about S for shiny?'

Jack studied it a moment before replying. 'How about B for broken? Tosh and I have given up trying to get it to work. Turns out it wasn't as simple to fix as we thought.'

It'd end up being  a very big section with a filing system all its own, I imagine!

Maybe they should have a separate section for the things that aren't broken instead...
