I really liked this piece as a whole. The idea was great and I enjoyed the originality. The title in and of itself is very cool. Good job!

All of the chapters have been wonderfu, but this is definitely my favorite, so far. I love how you've taken Meredith's alcoholism from the cheap gag it is on the show to a real and deeply sad problem.

'Dwight appreciated sturdy underclothes' Got me to laugh out loud with this line. I'm enjoying your writing. Thanks.

OK, I loooove this. I think it is a brilliant way to tie all of this together. I'd love to quote the whole thing back to you, but I think this is my favorite: That maybe wasn’t the best idea.
It just sounds like her. I don't know if it is "Pam" or "Jenna," but she often puts her "maybe" in a different spot in her sentences than I would, and you pegged right onto that. A lovely detail in a series of pieces that exist as lovely details. Thank you so much for these!
Author's Response: Thanks for all of your feedback :) I actually love that you picked up on the "maybe" thing, because I've always noticed that about Pam/Jenna's delivery and I find it sneaking into my own speech. And your comments on the others were really flattering as well! Thanks again.

He hadn’t even had to think about it—he had just gathered her up, because he had always known she was supposed to be in his arms. Exactly. Precisely. Just like (almost) everyone watching has known from the beginning.

Dwight appreciated sturdy underclothes. Honestly, this might be the best description of the Dwight/Angela relationship I've ever seen. I laughed out loud, but it's just so...right. Brava!

Poor Michael, aware on some level that he's so incompetent. It does, indeed, take a great deal of courage just to be Michael. I like this one a lot.

Ahhhh, Phyllis and her beloved Bob Vance. So sweet!

Oooh, poor Toby. Not even his voice was enough.

“I can’t,” she had said, and she had been telling the truth. But the question mark that she hadn’t meant to put at the end of the sentence haunted her, because it meant that there were other truths that would never quite make sense.
Wow. That's just...the essence of it, isn't it? That's what de-stabilized everything. Gorgeous.

Nice! I really liked this. I think my fav chapters were Karen, Roy, and Jan, but they were all good! :)
Author's Response: Those are actually three of my favorites as well, particularly Jan. It made me a little sad that they turned her *so* psycho in the finale, but I do honestly believe that there's always been at least a tiny bit of crazy in her.

I really enjoyed the way you dealt with the various Office workers. I'd love to see another set of drabbles from you. :)

I love how there's someone saying "I can't" in each chapter. Great idea for continuity. And I think you have everyone's voice down perfectly. Now, how about another one for Jim and Pam where she says "Can you live without me" and he says "I can't."

I like these. They're nice little insights into these characters we know and love. I think Jim and Kevin are my favorites of the recent ones.

Good job writing Roy. Bit of advice, no swearing when you write the conference paper. Save it all for us, please.

Oh, I laughed at this one. This is a keeper. I don't know if you are alluding (sp?) to Health Care, when Michael has (or really doesn't have) an "end-of-day surprise", but that's what it makes me think of. It's perfect for the thoughts that could be going through Michael's head at that time.
Really did laugh out loud. Giggled, kind of. Like a sombrero giggle. Keep it.
Author's Response:
Oh, I'm glad you liked it, Loyal Reader. I played with it a lot (which is funny, since it's about 8 words long).
Thanks again for your kind words!

So sweet! (I sure hope she's at lunch with Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration!)

I'd like more. Toby's was so sad! Poor Toby.
Just a little thing - in your title, it should just be "meant"; it's not a contraction.
Pam figured out how to NOT marry Roy; if only she could figure out how to tell Jim she wants to be "more than that"!!!!
And, since they all seem to be endings or at least "I can't"s of some sort, please give us a Jim/Karen "I can't/I won't/please get out of my sight". 'Kay?
Author's Response:
Thanks for the catch. I don't know how that apostrophe snuck in there. :)
And there's definitely some Jim/Karen drama in our futures. Thanks for the review!
