He was never meant to end up here, to meet her, and to have his life changed forever.

Jim asks Pam to dance at Phyllis and Bob Vance, Vance Refridgeration's wedding.

It's fluff, it's a fix-it, it's just a story.  

Beth the waitress returns!

A series of stand alone, slice of life, one-shots in Pam and Jim's life, all tied together with the thread that runs through them; they all end with dinner at Christopher's, where (in my headcanon) they had their first date. 

The first and the last chapter NOW COMPLETE work in tandem, but everything in between is its own story if you want to pop in for one whose title strikes your fancy. 

So this is something a bit different. For work, I recently started to experiment with ChatGPT, which is an "intelligent" chatbot and part of a series of Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiatives by a company called OpenAI.

You can find out about ChatGPT and how it works, here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/ 

and OpenAI here: https://openai.com/about/

It's free to sign up, but the GPT Bot can sometimes get overloaded (it's a hot topic in the IT world at the moment) and you may have a wait a while to play with it. 

I thought it might be fun to ask the Chat GPT bot to generate some stories for Jim and Pam. When I shared the first of these on the MTT Discord, there was some amusement, and a request to publish more. This "story" is the output of various combinations I've tried.  

June 7th 2006 - Jim has a very weird experience after he bumps his head, but why is his third grade teacher involved... and where does Christmas fit into it?
