This is just what a girl needs to get her through hiatus!  (Is that mean?)

Love the part about the Karen's 'unnatural' curls and Jim's Corolla turning left out of the parking lot.

Oh, so sad. I hate it when you guys make me feel awful for Karen, but I keep clicking on this darned things anyway, and I feel awful for her. Brilliant.

So many things I loved about this, though. Mostly I loved the few sentences put together that pack a killer punch, in every single one of those five 'times'. 

For some reason her hand still stung from that high five. from that first one, even though she's ranting about getting a fucking high five from him. she shot Jim a smile, and her stomach dropped when he looked away., because imagining that made my heart twitch. I loved how in the third one you brought out the fact that she has curls in her hair, drawing that comparison to Pam, somehow, in this freaky, subtle way. I don't know if that was intentional, but...wow. Seriously. Wow.

Loved the fourth one; why Pam was sorry. I'm kind of certain Pam didn't mean it that way, but the way you got Karen taking it that way is brilliant. So true, so sad, but so brilliant.

And the impact of the last few sentences of this story?! Damn.

"Turn right, Halpert," she whispered, "turn right and go home."

After a moment the little car started to move. He turned left.

Karen sank down to the floor and covered her eyes.
Oh, goodness, I loved that. So good. So good. Freaking amazing. 

Anyway, I still want Karen to leave, but you guys aren't making me feel so good about it. I need some KarenisaBitchfiction.
