Awwww. Poor sleep-deprived Pam. Make her feel better about it, Jim, if you could keep your hands off of her for five minutes she wouldn't have this problem.
Author's Response:
Right? Totally his fault. :). The “talking head” style was a little tricky in fic. It was hard to incorporate them without overdoing it. I think this one is pretty well balanced. (I’m being forced to re-read some of these to know what you are referring to, and it is a fun exercise! So thanks for that.)
thank you!

Heh, this was great! I had a good chuckle once I saw the twist as to what had been meant by Erin's statement.
Author's Response: Excellent! I love it when one of my silly little fics makes someone smile. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment!

Lis, this was so cute! It was perfectly in character; I could picture it as it unfolded. Jim looked helplessly at the camera. “So…any idea if paranoia and auditory hallucinations are symptoms of some post-partum thing I don’t know about yet?” Ha! Poor Jim :D
Thank you so much! :-*
Author's Response: You are totally welcome! You are a good egg, m'dear. You and the other prolific reviewers make this fic writing stuff more fun. I was honored to be asked to contribute, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Happy birthday!

This one keeps getting better each time I read it. The fun part (besides the obvious genius of the Kevin talking head) is that I can totally picture the continuation of Jim making fun of Pam mercilessly. I love that she just walked back out of the breakroom, mortified. HEE!
Author's Response:
I had a whole joint talking head with them at the end all written, and then I just decided it was better to leave it out. I either had to end it with Kevin or end it with them, but I really wanted it to be Kevin.
Your help is always wonderful and appreciated, but this time you saved my butt from posting a bad story, so I thank you even more than usual!

Hehe. Aww, poor Pam. Gald it was a misconception - bless her.
I loved this analogy too: "her moods changed with all the frequency but none of the predictability of a traffic light"
Author's Response: Thank you! I like Pam too much for it to be anything but a mistake. :)

Very clever. You have also very aptly described the roller coaster of emotions that a back-to-work mother goes through. Well done!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! My daughter just turned 2, so those feelings are relatively fresh in my mind. I'm glad you felt that they rang true!

This was so CUTE! Love the interchange between Jim and Pam.
You've got some great turns of phrase in here. I think my favorite is "her moods changed with all the frequency but none of the predictability of a traffic light."
Author's Response: Oh, thank you VB. I'm so pleased that there has been such a great turnout for the birthday surprise- great idea on your part! Thanks for inviting me to participate. I wish I'd have had more time to work on this, but I think it turned out OK. Thanks, again!

OMG, that was hilarious! Very, very cute. And this was an awesome, awesome detail: "Worse, she was tugging and twisting at her wedding ring, a frantic, unconscious motion that was the only habit of Pam’s that Jim really hated."
Author's Response: Thank you! Thanks for pointing that line out- I re-wrote it a few times because it felt a little clunky, but the idea seemed so true that I wanted to keep it in. I feel reassured that it worked out OK now, thanks!

Author's Response:
Oh, that's so sweet of you to say! I miss having time to write. It was fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it; I'd have hated for you to be excited to see something of mine and then have it suck. :)

This was perfect. Great dialogue; you really have a great sense for these characters.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! That's a wonderful compliment- it comes from lots and lots of practice. :)

Okay...you got me! Well done.
Author's Response: Ha! I wasn't really trying to pull a fast one this time, so I'm doubly glad it caught you by surprise! Thanks!

Haha! I didn't think of that at all. I was expecting some explanation of what Pam misheard. Very clever!
Author's Response: Why thank you! I wasn't trying to be too tricky but I do love twist endings. Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment.
