I'm so stuck in my little Jam shippy world, that I sometimes forget that Jim may be angry with Pam for all that happened; you presented that thought beautifully, and this was a pleasure to read.
"He regrets ever being nice to Josh." - oh yeah!
Author's Response: Thanks Luna! I don't think he's necessarily angry but there hasn't really been any sort of closure for him - he just left the problem behind. There's going to be a lot for him to think about now. And yeah, screw Josh!

Well, Missy, you certainly know your way around angst-ville. Jim's ambivalence...about Pam, his job, Karen - it's all here.
It reminds him of how he was always aware of Pam’s movements. For some reason, that line just nailed their dynamic back in Scranton for me. And this: She doesn’t have a fiancé, she’s not wasting her talents, she’s very direct, and she hasn’t yet broken his heart. Just feels perfect for Jim's rationalizing himself into...and out of...what he feels, wants, thinks is good for him.
Okay, now with your able assistance, I'm all angsty too. Hurts so good.
Author's Response: Welcome to my angst party! Better than a pity party, seems more healthy anyway, and yet there's still plenty of Jim. I juts think he must be so wary at this point - of Pam, of having a real career, of getting involved with someone new. For someone who is such a creature of habit (ham and cheese, anyone?), he was just settling in with his last major life changes and voila! A whole new set. Hurts so good now, but we'll see how it all plays out!

ahhhh - I was feeding my angst very nicely just from the Pam perspective, and then I get thrown to the ground from Jim's. You are heartless. (But it was wonderful to read, in a masochistic sort of way!) :-)
Author's Response: But no worries Moxie! There's much room for improvement here. Off to read about Pam now. Figures, I take the male POV! Or maybe I just want to be in Jim's head... ;)
