Noway was that how things worked here but the thought of going home early was nice. Being a department head had it's perks but it also had some major downfalls as well.

This made Addison laugh still and nod her head in agreement. "It's just tedious nonstop paperwork." It was very easy to do nothing but paperwork for a day or two at a time. If she didn't keep on top of it there was no doubt in a few days time she would be completely behind. "Which part? The situation Hogwarts had to deal with was bad enough but tossing my department into it didn't help any of us." She didn't want to go running her mouth and saying more then she should. "There was quite a bit of miscommunication." That was the nicest way to put it. Lifting her cup and taking a long sip she smiled and nodded after setting the cup down again. "Live and learn is what this is going to be."
Gabby laughed at Addi's joke and took another carrot stick. "Well, it's a bit of wishful thinking, I admit, but as far as I see it if I have nothing else to do I should be able to go home." And in her brain that was enough to make the case logical to anyone and everyone else. Then again she had no idea what Lynley would do. As much as she loved her boss, the woman could definitely be an odd case. Still, she was wonderful. Maybe the oddness was part of the appeal in some strange way... Musing over that, she took a bite of her carrot.

Non-stop paperwork was Gabby's definition of hell. It was the only thing keeping her back from wanting to be a Department Head. Okay, she would like to be in charge, but still... The paper work. Her experience of heading Level Six for a time two or so years back had taught her just how much paper work there was. It was horrific. "Just how bad it went when you headed over to the school. How no one wanted to cooperate with you." From what she had heard, there was a bit of an uproar in the way that the children had been addressed, but since she hadn't been there, she had no real idea of what had happened. "I guess we will never really know what that thing was..." At least it was gone now. That was a relief because she sure as heck wouldn't be sending her daughters to a school with a monster lurking about. Nod. What Addi said made sense. "Well, I'm sure that this will benefit everyone in some way. Maybe I can get an intern to fetch me coffee..." That was the dream.
