LMAO @ Michael was too preoccupied with his Koosh-ball. “Pam, what is in these things that make them so bouncy?” < I pictured that scene so perfectly in my head. Awesome!

Sorry for the delay in reviewing! Lots to catch up on here. I can hear Pam's voice here loud and clear. I really love first person stories that make me really believe that it's that exact character, and you've done a great job with that. The Toby and Michael conversations are so spot on. Michael is just childish enough to be believed here. I love the last paragraph and the last line. I'm so looking forward to following this story!
Author's Response: So glad Pam is coming through for you!! I work really hard at making her seem as close to Pam as possible. Michael and Toby were fun to right. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review!!

Great premise, great writing, can't wait to read more. I do have to say that you gave me pause at the end of Chapter 1 when you said "then I met my husband" as opposed to "then I met Jim", as I thought might be going AU and have Pam with someone else. Needless to say, I was thrilled with the 2nd chapter-keep it up!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words! Ah, didn't realize that might have tripped someone up. Nope, this isn't AU at all, it's going to stay within canon. Thanks again for your review. :)

Oh, wow! I really like this premise. I know Pam was at Dunder Mifflin for several years before Jim but I've never thought about what her time must have been like there without him. You've captured a sad, dull feeling that, having worked as a receptionist myself, I can totally relate to. I'm sure that pre-Jim, the office was a much more boring place to work.
I love the idea that Michael wrote a book about his life (and, of course, exaggerated all of the stories). I'm really interested to see where this goes and can't wait to read more.
P.S. LOVED that last line.
Author's Response: Thanks, Tuna! Glad you got the feeling of how empty her life felt before Jim was there. He really did add so much more to her life when he arrived. Glad that all came through. Yeah, last line was fun to put in there. :) Thanks again!!

Great idea! It has a nice flow to it when I read it! I can't wait to see where you're going to take this one! Update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, glad you're liking it!!

I was so happy to see another story from you. I love the background you gave us on everyone in the office. I am very excited for this series.
Author's Response: Thanks so much!! Yeah, it was fun to see everything from the very beginning. Glad you're up for the series!

Spaceorphan, so glad you're back!!!! Great idea, great characterizations, fun story :) Reading about Pam's first day and her thoughts on her new co-workers is novel. I like that. I also couldn't help but think that even though Jim wasn't there yet, I could feel his presence between the lines. Nice job. Really happy that this is just the start of a series!
Author's Response: Thanks, Nan! So glad you're taking to it right from the beginning. :) Yeah, having Pam tell the story as an older Pam helps keep that Jim connection near the front. Thanks again!!
