When Jim's alarm woke him, he rolls over in the bed with a groan. Ugh, Saturday. How he loathed Saturdays.
Saturdays and Sundays were his days off and his flat had never had that homey feel like his office at Bart's did. He had a computer here, of course. His baby, his beautiful laptop, was closed after better than the actual flat. Still, he loved working with computers.
To think, he used to love the weekend. After school, he'd go home and spend his time in the office, making his mother worry about how much time he spent on his own, reading books and writing down parts he found interesting to pin to the walls of his bedroom.
Sooner or later, Jim shakes away the nostalgia and drags himself out of bed to go about his day.
By midday Jim had eaten, showered, dressed, gone to the bank, done the weekly shopping and cleaned his already spotless flat (only spotless through lack of use, rather than Jim liking for it to be clean}.
It isn't long at all before Jim has fallen into his desk chair and opened up his laptop. A true smile on his face for the first time that day. He sends a silent apology to the lady at the supermarket for not honestly smiling at her.
Shaking his head, Jim presses the power button on the laptop, watching the screen as it starts up.

TheConsultingDetective: This site is dull, James.
Jim_06: Why the hell did you sign up then?
TheConsultingDetective: To annoy you, of course.
Jim_06: Isn't it enough that you annoy me at work? Must you do it on my day off too?
TheConsultingDetective: You say that as if you enjoy your days off. Which you don't.
Jim_06: Oh, shut up, smarty pants.
TheConsultingDetective: Smarty pants? That's a new one.
Jim_06: Would you prefer I stick to arse?
TheConsultingDetective: I'd prefer you call me Sherlock.
Jim_06: And I'd prefer you call me Jim.
TheConsultingDetective: Dull.
TheConsultingDetective: You could always call me sexy.
Jim_06: ....
TheConsultingDetective: I wish I could see your face right now.
Jim_06: Ha-bloody-ha.
TheConsultingDetective: Why 06?
Jim_06: Jim_69 was taken.
TheConsultingDetective: Very funny.
Jim_06: Wow. You actually understood that reference?
TheConsultingDetective: I'm not an idiot.
Jim_06: I didn't say you were.
TheConsultingDetective: You were implying I lack knowledge about sex.
Jim_06: That's not calling you an idiot.
TheConsultingDetective: It had that you're-an-idiot tone.
Jim_06: Typed words can't have a tone, Sherlock.
TheConsultingDetective: The way we read words has a tone though, James.
Jim_06: Can you not read? It very clearly says my name is Jim.
TheConsultingDetective: I prefer James.
Jim_06: John was right. You're insufferable.
TheConsultingDetective: You love it.
Jim_06: If you're trying to flirt Sherlock, you are failing miserably AND have chosen the worse person to flirt with.
TheConsultingDetective: Why would I be flirting?
Jim_06: That's what it seems like to me. Has that tone when I read it.
TheConsultingDetective: Perhaps it has that tone because you're hoping I am trying to flirt with you.
Jim_06: Ha! In your dreams.
TheConsultingDetective: ;)
Jim_06: Go back to being snarky and condescending. Funny doesn't suit you.
TheConsultingDetective: I've been told.
Jim_06: John?
TheConsultingDetective: John.
Jim_06: He's right.
TheConsultingDetective: Mm.
Jim_06: Oh, now you're going all sulky.
TheConsultingDetective: I do not sulk.
Jim_06: Yes, you do.
TheConsultingDetective: I don't.
Jim_06: Whatever you say, Sherlock.
TheConsultingDetective: I'm leaving.
Jim_06: You do that.
TheConsultingDetective: I mean it.
Jim_06: See ya.

Mols_xx: Jim, this site is amazing! I've already spoken to an American, a Japanese girl and someone from Jamaica.
Jim_06: Glad you like it, Mols!
Mols_xx: How's your Saturday going?
Jim_06: Filled with Sherlock Holmes.
Mols_xx: You're with Sherlock?
Jim_06: No. Just today seems to be the day that everyone on the interest is talking about him.
Jim_06: Okay, that's a lie. I talked to a few of his fan and I feel kind of stalkerish now.
Mols_xx: I didn't realise you liked Sherlock. You guys always seem at each others throats.
Jim_06: We are.
Mols_xx: Then why talk to his fans?
Jim_06: Bored, I guess
Mols_xx: Hm.
Jim_06: He joined the site too, you know?
Mols_xx: Really?
Jim_06: Yeah. His username is TheConsultingDetective
Mols_xx: Original.
Jim_06: Ha.
Mols_xx: Do you want to go out for lunch tomorrow?
Jim_06: Yeah. Sure. 12 at Cindy's?
Mols_xx: Perfect.
Jim_06: See you then!
Mols_xx: Yup.

I was ready to type out 'do not email me on my work account, Jim' again when I read the message to find it was actually about work. Sort of.
Now, Jim, you know I love you but closing down the whole range just for you?
You're damn lucky that I'm the boss and business has been booming. I've got some things I need to do up at your great Aunt's house so I suppose I may as well let you use the range since I'm shutting for the day anyway.
Only one rule: No sex in my shooting range.
