That last line almost hurts, because I can see how it can be true for Jim.
Author's Response: Yeah, there have been times in my life I could relate to that feeling, and it just seemed...appropriate for Jim there. Thanks for reading!

Wow. I haven't had to see an outline like that in, um, a few years. But it absolutely works. And man, 2bi and 2bii are painful and 100% spot on.
Author's Response:
I miss those lists, so I decided to incorporate them here. 2B is just generally sad I think...
Thanks for reading!

First of all, that outline took me right back to high school note taking so thanks for that flashback!
More importantly, that outline is so perfect - I loved seeing Jim's complicated feelings spelled out like that and I love the idea of him mentally checking himself with a "1Biv" when needed. So clever!
And he's right, you know. It's never good to see Roy.
Author's Response: I enjoyed writing the outline, so I'm really glad it connected with you. And it seems to me that it's one of the only ways Jim might have been able to so effectively dowse his own feelings for so long...

Interesting look into Jim's mind. Getting very analytical with the list here seems very in character since in the show Jim talks fairly regularly about things like Pro/Con lists so I see this kind of list as fitting. The fact that he can reduce things to letters and numbers like this seems to make sense too as why Jim was able to bear Pam being with Roy for so long. It's not "this" feeling, it's just a letter and number. Good concept and nicely executed.
Author's Response: Thanks! I enjoy filling in Jim's mental life with things that I think might serve as (unhealthy) coping mechanisms, and this one seemed appropriate to me, so I'm glad it did to you too!
