Great story! The talking heads were fantastic.

This was just delightful. Really. I enjoyed every bit of it, start to finish. The drill sergeant who loves the cooking network, the perfect talking head parts, the whole Jim and Pam dynamic. I'm gonna go read it again.

I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to let you know that I had a lot of fun reading this story. There were so many classic lines in here, but I think my absolute favorite was Dwight offering to dispose of the squirrel with his handy slingshot - just such great timing there! And of course now I'm thinking about Jim in uniform and I won't be able to concentrate on anything else for the rest of the day...so thanks!

when all is said and done, michael really is great at customer service (i.e. business deals over awesome blossoms). where would the office team be without his "leadership"? bored and unmotivated? lackluster in their adventures and inspirations? the final paragraph was a cute touch. chapter 8 was my favorite :)

Yet another story I started and then abdononded... I believe this was probably during when I had the whole finals suck, but I gotta study for them and such.... but, now I get to read the last chapter. So yay for that.
Okay, Dwight won't eat off of the spoons, but he does clean his ears with them? First off, either he has unbelievably wide ear canals, or those are some SMALL spoons. Me, I have to use the syringes. Which I got for FREE (suck on that Dwight). Cause my ear canals are unusually small. So, is that more than you ever wanted to know about me?
What brand of cat? Haha!
Great story. :D

Oh, love it! Excellent resolution to the triangle situation (I love it when Karen's mature and kind about it) and I love that little ending with the Sergeant. Hee!

*applause!* *confetti!!* *fanfare!* *screaming teenage girls tossing their delicates on stage!*
*ahem*
Sorry...things got a little out of control there. My apologies. But can you blame me? I mean, seriously--you start this final chapter with perhaps the worst pep talk in the history of pep talks and expect me to remain silent? I'll have you know I had to stop reading for a full minute and a half while I tried to compose myself--I was laughing that hard!
And somehow, even before he said it, I instinctively knew that Dwight used commemorative spoons to clean his ears. The fact that I knew that horrifies me more than you know.
I am so proud of you for taking the leap into a new genre, and thrilled that you have produced something so wonderful! You should definitely explore this new realm, because you have a real knack for comedy, as well as the sweet JAMMY stories we already love.
Bravo, I say...Bravo!

I just loved the Sergant's goodbye to the troops. I mean, "I hope within each of you lies a heart murmur..." - so funny.
“Go after her. Please. It’s tiring just watching you two.” Please, your words to Greg Daniels' ears.
Michael's thank you gift and “We are not retreating, we are advancing in another direction.” - wonderful.
I enjoyed this story!!!

Like it!
I especially like all the Talking Heads! Classic!
Date: April 22, 2007 12:02 pm Title: Chapter 7: Mess Hall
Oh, the talking heads at the beginning of this chapter FTW! And Jim reassuring Pam was the cutest/sweetest thing ever. :)

The Bible says to ‘Love thy neighbor.’ Angela’s eyes narrowed. Michael was not God’s neighbor when that rule was implemented.
Best talking head ever.

Haha! A great Oscar thought to start the chapter!!!
Actually, all of those thoughts are just hilarious and in character and so funny!
Biting a popscile? nearly gave me brain freeze just thinking about it....
:D. Pam pranking Jim. Them talking and playing... how could anyone hate it?

Love it... Need more!
Date: April 22, 2007 06:54 am Title: Chapter 7: Mess Hall
there were at least 6 opportunities during this exchange where one of them should have kissed the other, 'let me see your tongue?' ha, 'let me feel your tongue' should be more like it. Keep going, this is really a fun story although I'm sad boot camp is over :)

Like it? How about LOVE it?!? Those opening talking heads are absolutely hysterical, especially Angela's and Creed's. And it is so perfect to have everyone miserable and then have Michael assume that everything is hunky/dory.
And it was very nice to see Jim and Pam making some progress themselves. Maybe there's a great underlying symbol to this story that hasn't been considered yet: they're at "basic" training, getting back to the basics of their relationship. Talking, joking, being honest.
Okay, rambling a bit. Excellent work, as usual!

ooohhhh! I wanna see Karen get what's coming by the end.
Date: April 20, 2007 09:37 am Title: Chapter 6: Punishment
Finals hell is so hellish. Life just kinda needs to stop in finals week. What I hate is that I also need to pack and clean, because I have to be out of the dorms 24 hours after my last exam (so stupid), so its like, wow, no time to really study because I have to also move. Oh, and try to sleep and eat so i don't die. Technically, I have another week of classes, and then nearly a week after that until Finals start... so I have a bit of time to relax...
Michael, no, more clothes. more clothes. horrible image. need more clothes (but um, if it was jim now.... )
I have one... reviews are link being exempt from finals. One teacher said we could be and then took it back, jerk.
Anyways, another awesome chapter. I loved that Jim/Pam got called out, and then Karen called Jim out on his everything. And then you end it. Oh well. I know real life and grades are important, so I guess I won't be too angry at it.
Keep surviving finals!

Well, we all know that Karen knows less about the Scranton Branch (and probably Jim) than she thought she did!
Even if she thinks that about Jim being stubborn and wanting things to be his idea, saying that is counter-productive. Idiot! (/Dwight)
What will happen next?
Author's Response: More to come soon! Thanks for reading!

This might have been shorter than most, but it was still really good! (TWSS)
Okay, all kidding aside, this was another great chapter in one of my favorite stories right now! I loved Ryan's line to Michael about putting on his pants in the morning. And I also loved that the tension between Karen and Jim has been ratcheted up a notch! Good luck with finals, and I hope to see more of this soon. :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much Mose! Yeah I hated it being so short, but it was all I could do right now in the midst of finals hell, I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

Seems like Karen and Jim have differing ideas as to the near future. Karen seems happy to be moving to NY but Jim seems to be happy playing with Pam's ball o'socks. Good luck with your finals but please do update as soon as you can!

I love your talking heads - especially Meredith's "I was a big fan of last year’s event. I don’t remember a lot of it…but from what I hear, I had a really good time." and Karen's about Pam and Jim being friends. Nope, no reason to be awkward at all!
Author's Response: Haha, I'm really glad you like them, they're so much fun to write! Thanks for reading!

I'll give you a reaason to smile, then. My favorite part is that the DI loves Rachel Ray. It is amazing.
Author's Response: That does make me smile :) Thanks for reading!

Jim in pj's + Pam in pj's + toppling over + playful wrestling = perfection
Author's Response: If only we could see something like this on the show *le sigh* Glad you liked it!

I read this today at work... and my work is not happy work ... But I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The talk heads were so funny. I think it is always a good time when the Office staff goes out in public. especially when they have to spend the night somewhere...
Looking forward to the next chapters... Good Luck on your finals... been there done that... I miss it!
Author's Response: Aww I'm glad my fic could help make work a little bit better! Thanks for reading!
