pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hey

jimhalpert: I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever

pambeesly: I know, it's been, what, five minutes?

jimhalpert: We should met for lunch and catch up, talk about everything we did in that time

pambeesly: we should

pambeesly: did you read this agreement? for the documentary thing?

jimhalpert: I skimmed through it

jimhalpert: who can actually read through one those things, you know?

pambeesly: did you see that they want us to give them the right to film us in "any work related activity, even outside the premises of Dunder Mifflin"?

jimhalpert: what page is that on?

pambeesly: so they could like come to our houses if they deemed it work related

pambeesly: page 3, towards the bottom.

jimhalpert: hope they like watching me watching TV

pambeesly: I don't even understand why they want to film me, Dwight and Michael are the interesting ones. I'm rather boring.

jimhalpert: that's not true

pambeesly: what, that I'm boring?

jimhalpert: no, that Dwight and Michael are interesting

pambeesly: ouch

jimhalpert: j/k, you're not boring at all

pambeesly: whatever, I know I am

jimhalpert: but you're the queen of multi-tasking. You answer every phone call, handle all the faxes in the office, pretend to be interested in what Michael is saying, all while getting in a couple Sudoku puzzles everyday.

jimhalpert: I think that's pretty cool

pambeesly: thanks :-)

Monday, August 8, 2005 1:45pm

pambeesly: so, these cameras are officially making me nervous

jimhalpert: me too

pambeesly: oh, c'mon, you're a ham, you love it

pambeesly: I see all the cute little nods and funny faces that you're giving them

jimhalpert: oh no, you have discovered my secret plan, to get one of those montages with all the faces I make on the DVD

jimhalpert: preferably set to "good riddance" by green day

pambeesly: then the teeny boppers will see that, and they'll all scream about how cute you are. . .

jimhalpert: stop it

pambeesly: and some talent scout in LA will call you and you'll leave DM forever

pambeesly: never to look back

jimhalpert: yeah yeah, whatever

pambeesly: just promise not to forget me when you're famous

jimhalpert: you can't be serious

pambeesly: do you promise?

jimhalpert: I promise

Wednesday, August 10, 2005 9:10am

jimhalpert: hey

jimhalpert: did I just hear you tell Michael that corporate wants him to go through diversity training again?

pambeesly: yes, you did

pambeesly: apparently Mr. Brown reported back that Michael didn't really ‘get it', and it certainly wouldn't surprise me if someone filed a complaint about his ‘googy googy' routine

jimhalpert: oh god, I almost forgot about that

pambeesly: now he has to go to a weekend seminar

jimhalpert: I'm almost willing to give up my weekend to go witness that

jimhalpert: almost ;-)

pambeesly: :-D

pambeesly: Oh, I forgot to ask you, how did your sale go?

pambeesly: with Mr. Decker

jimhalpert: um, it was fine, you know, it's just a renewal

pambeesly: but it's a pretty big renewal, you gotta feel good about that

jimhalpert: yeah, I'd say I felt pretty good at the end of yesterday

pambeesly: good :-)

Wednesday, August 17, 2005 8:15am

pambeesly: oh my god!

jimhalpert: and good morning to you too, Miss Beesly

pambeesly: I came up with so many awesome fake disease names last night, I nearly called you

jimhalpert: you should have, I wasn't doing anything last night

jimhalpert: and even if I were, hearing fake disease names would take precedence

pambeesly: as well they should

jimhalpert: so let's hear them

pambeesly: degenerative cranial dysplasia

jimhalpert: hey, DCD is not a laughing matter, my uncle has that

pambeesly: oh be quiet :-p

pambeesly: subepidermal digititus

jimhalpert: wow, that sounds painful

pambeesly: cumulonimbitus of the eye

jimhalpert: I don't know, that almost sounds like something from Lord of the Rings, Dwight might be suspicious of that one

pambeesly: hmm, duly noted

pambeesly: okay, how about this: Turkish Mumps

jimhalpert: I think the killer nano-robots have infected your brain

Wednesday, August 24, 2005 8:50am

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hey

pambeesly: I want to apologize for Roy yesterday

pambeesly: he was out of line

jimhalpert: it's cool

pambeesly: his bark really is worse than his bite

jimhalpert: yeah, okay

pambeesly: what?

jimhalpert: what?

pambeesly: is there something you want to say?

jimhalpert: I don't know, seeing him fly off the handle like that

jimhalpert: makes me worry about you a little

pambeesly: why?

jimhalpert: just does

pambeesly: he's never hit me or anything, if that's what you're getting at

pambeesly: he just has a short temper

pambeesly: if I ignore it, he usually cools down on his own

jimhalpert: and that makes it okay?

pambeesly: Angela's coming, gotta log off

pambeesly signed off at 8:54am

September 6, 2005 10:28am

jimhalpert: Happy Tuesday :-/

pambeesly: whoopee

pambeesly: you're getting a lot of calls today

jimhalpert: I know, what's the point of labor day if you just work twice as hard the next day?

jimhalpert: so how was your long weekend, you went to the lake, right?

pambeesly: um, it was alright

pambeesly: Roy and Kenny were on their wave runners, so I was pretty much stuck on the shore reading

pambeesly: how about you, did you go shopping?

jimhalpert: I did, finally got some decorations for my place

jimhalpert: some posters and stuff

pambeesly: cool

pambeesly: you weren't too sore from the game?

jimhalpert: nah, my lip was fine by Saturday morning

pambeesly: Roy really felt bad about that, by the way

pambeesly: he should have said sorry at the time, but I think he was just trying to be tough around Darryl and Lonny

jimhalpert: it was just an accident

pambeesly: btw, off the record, I was rooting for you ;-)

jimhalpert: oh yeah?

pambeesly: yeah, but you know, couldn't be too obvious around Roy

jimhalpert: well I'm grateful your silent cheers, regardless

jimhalpert: though next time, I would appreciate it if you would at least wear a shirt saying "Go Jim!" on it, or maybe "Jim is Awesome"

pambeesly: Okay, I'll be sure to make one

jimhalpert: with glitter paint?

pambeesly: of course :-)

jimhalpert: sweet

Monday, September 12, 2005 3:15pm

pambeesly: Is it Friday yet?

jimhalpert: that bad, huh?

pambeesly: the reason Michael just called me in was to ask about cycles

pambeesly: and I don't mean bicycles

jimhalpert: wow

jimhalpert: I don't even want to imagine a situation where he would possibly need to know that

pambeesly: I know, really

pambeesly: so, how was your date?

jimhalpert: you mean Katy? It was okay.

pambeesly: just okay? No matching tattoos?

jimhalpert: it's bad luck to get matching tattoos on the first date, I thought you knew that, Pam

pambeesly: I haven't been on the dating scene for a while now, I don't know what you kids are up to these days

jimhalpert: Well, first date is a curling tournament

pambeesly: curling?

jimhalpert: yeah, it's kinda like bowling on ice, but there's brooms and stones

pambeesly: isn't that quidditch?

jimhalpert: that's from Harry Potter, curling is an olympic sport

pambeesly: now I know you're making this up ;-)

jimhalpert: will you pay attention please?

jimhalpert: second date is going to a playground with metal detectors to find spare change

pambeesly: to help pay for the matching tattoos on the third date?

jimhalpert: exactly

pambeesly: so, are you and Katy going to be taking your detectors to the playground?

jimhalpert: a second date? I don't know, it's possible I guess

pambeesly: uh-oh, Michael's calling, brb

pambeesly: he wants to talk to me in his office again :-/

pambeesly: if he asks me anything about human anatomy, I'm quitting

jimhalpert: be strong, Beesly

Wednesday, September 21, 2005 8:36am

jimhalpert: good morning

pambeesly: ugh :-(

jimhalpert: is someone a little hung over?

pambeesly: I feel like I have a bass drum pounding in my head

jimhalpert: that's not surprising, you were pretty hammered

jimhalpert: how much of last night do you remember?

pambeesly: um, there was clapping, and I got a dundie

pambeesly: and I fell off a stool

pambeesly: I was hugging a lot too

jimhalpert: that's it?

pambeesly: yeah, everything else is pretty fuzzy

pambeesly: why, what happened?

jimhalpert: well for starters the manager banned you from Chili's

pambeesly: he did?!

jimhalpert: yeah, and I don't know if we can hang out anymore

jimhalpert: you're a bad influence

jimhalpert: sorry

pambeesly: no, I understand

pambeesly: next thing you know I'll be knocking off liquor stores

jimhalpert: it's a slippery slope

pambeesly: run away, Jim, I'm a bad egg

jimhalpert: :-)

jimhalpert: also, you were going to ask me something

pambeesly: oh yeah?

jimhalpert: yeah, in the parking lot, you wanted to ask me something

pambeesly: oh, I vaguely remember that

pambeesly: I think I was going to ask if you had anything to do with my dundie

jimhalpert: ah

pambeesly: so . . . did you?

jimhalpert: I don't know, maybe

pambeesly: maybe?

jimhalpert: or maybe Michael just had a last minute change of heart

jimhalpert: all on his own with no provocation at all

jimhalpert: oop, gotta take this call

pambeesly: Jim

jimhalpert: yeah?

pambeesly: thanks for getting my dundie changed :-)

jimhalpert: you're welcome, Pam

Wednesday, September 28, 2005 9:54am

pambeesly: :-*

jimhalpert: wow

pambeesly: :-D

jimhalpert: look who didn't learn their lesson from yesterday

pambeesly: the person who didn't learn his lesson was Michael

jimhalpert: that's because he never learns his lesson

jimhalpert: he didn't give you too hard of a time yesterday, did he?

pambeesly: I know I should be offended

pambeesly: but it happens so much I hate to say I'm used to it

jimhalpert: well, before you came here, it was me he would tease

pambeesly: really?

jimhalpert: oh yeah, asking me to make out with blow-up dolls

jimhalpert: telling me I should loosen my tie and maybe unbutton the top button

jimhalpert: I'm a victim, Pam

pambeesly: did you ever report him to HR?

jimhalpert: too ashamed :'(

pambeesly: poor Jim :-(

jimhalpert: so

jimhalpert: I missed out meeting your mom yesterday

pambeesly: yeah, I know

pambeesly: I guess they had a minor crisis at her job and she didn't get to leave as early as she wanted to

jimhalpert: that's too bad

pambeesly: yeah, she really wanted to meet you

jimhalpert: me?

jimhalpert: or everyone?

pambeesly: well, everyone

pambeesly: I suppose I've talked about you the most

jimhalpert: really?

pambeesly: I should amend that

pambeesly: I probably talk about Michael the most

jimhalpert: I knew it

pambeesly: but you're the one I say the most nice things about

jimhalpert: why, what's wrong with Stanley?

pambeesly: nothing, silly

pambeesly: but you're the only one here that's actually my friend

pambeesly: so, when is *your* mom gonna visit?

jimhalpert: um when I get a new job

jimhalpert: or when Michael's gone, whichever come first

pambeesly: aww

pambeesly: she should come by, I'd like to meet her

jimhalpert: yeah, I think she'd like to meet you too

pambeesly: :-)

October 5, 2005 10:43am

jimhalpert: so

jimhalpert: did I ever properly thank you for all your hard work yesterday?

pambeesly: um, no ;-)

jimhalpert: you did awesome

jimhalpert: the doves, the medals, the sign

pambeesly: don't forget Flonkerton!

jimhalpert: and Flonkerton :-)

pambeesly: thank you

pambeesly: but really you were the mastermind

pambeesly: you're really good at stuff like that

jimhalpert: perhaps I missed my calling

jimhalpert: to be an office olympic organizer

pambeesly: triple O

jimhalpert: I'm . . . gonna leave that one alone ;-)

pambeesly: :-p

pambeesly: I'm not sure what to do with my medals

jimhalpert: mine's at a frame shop

jimhalpert: they're making a shadow box

jimhalpert: then it will be in my room, above my bed

pambeesly: :-)

pambeesly: but really don't feel obligated to keep it

pambeesly: it's just a yogurt lid

jimhalpert: what do you mean just a yogurt lid?

jimhalpert: it's my gold medal in dunderball

jimhalpert: as well as a reminder that sometimes I do actually have fun at this place

pambeesly: yeah, I suppose

jimhalpert: why, did you throw yours away?

pambeesly: no, they're here at my desk

jimhalpert: well the International Office Olympic Commission forbids the disposal of those medals

pambeesly: oh, well, can't go against the commission

jimhalpert: not if you have any hope of participating in future Office Olympiads

pambeesly: I guess I'm stuck with them then :-)

jimhalpert: guess so

October 11, 2005 2:37pm

jimhalpert: hey, clear something up for me

pambeesly: ?

jimhalpert: who started the fire again?

pambeesly: um, I'm drawing a blank

pambeesly: it's not anyone sang a song or anything

jimhalpert: I guess it'll remain a mystery

pambeesly: :-)

pambeesly: how was your lunch?

jimhalpert: good, we went to Calabria's

jimhalpert: took some shots, it was good

pambeesly: shots huh?

jimhalpert: yeah, and she can hold her liquor a lot better than you can

pambeesly: shut up!

jimhalpert: just saying

pambeesly: Katy seems really nice

jimhalpert: yeah, she is

pambeesly: the interviewer ask me about her, earlier

jimhalpert: oh yeah?

pambeesly: yeah, and I didn't know what to say

pambeesly: so I said that you guys are going out

jimhalpert: okay

pambeesly: is that right?

jimhalpert: that we're going out?

jimhalpert: I guess so

jimhalpert: we've really only seen each other a couple times

jimhalpert: you know, nothing too serious

pambeesly: ah

jimhalpert: so

jimhalpert: what is your all time favorite movie?

pambeesly: oh, now you want to know?

pambeesly: I thought I was breaking the rules

jimhalpert: well if I let you list 6 movies, then everyone else would have wanted 6 movies

jimhalpert: then 6 would become 10, 10 would become 20

pambeesly: yeah yeah

jimhalpert: but, now that we're not playing . . .

jimhalpert: what's your favorite movie?

pambeesly: sorry, you missed your chance

jimhalpert: aw, c'mon

pambeesly: tell you what, next time there's a fire drill

pambeesly: we can play Desert Island movies

pambeesly: and you'll find out then ;-)

jimhalpert: I'm holding you to that

pambeesly: I expect you to

jimhalpert: hmmm, does the fire department accept Desert Island Movies as a legitimate reason to pull the alarm?

pambeesly: um . . . no

jimhalpert: damn

November 1, 2005 9:07am

jimhalpert: good morning

pambeesly: good morning

jimhalpert: did you go trick or treating?

pambeesly: um, no, did you?

jimhalpert: uh, duh

jimhalpert: used a pillow case for a bag, hit every house about 3 times

pambeesly: :-)

pambeesly: Poor Richard's was fun last night

jimhalpert: yeah, too bad more people aren't getting fired, then we could all go there more often ;-)

pambeesly: that's not what I meant :-p

pambeesly: it's just fun to hang out with everyone outside the office

jimhalpert: yeah, definitely

jimhalpert: I have to say, Devon had a pretty awesome exit

jimhalpert: I think we all fantasize about what we'd do on our last day, but he actually did it

pambeesly: you know what you want to do?

jimhalpert: oh yeah, I planned out the final prank that I want to play on Dwight on maybe my 3rd day here

pambeesly: just Dwight? not gonna do anything to Michael?

jimhalpert: as much as I would like to

jimhalpert: he will actually probably write me a good recommendation

jimhalpert: but I'm not going anywhere

pambeesly: yeah, I don't know why I'm bringing up you leaving

pambeesly: after yesterday

pambeesly: which I still kinda feel bad about

jimhalpert: don't, you were just trying to help me out

jimhalpert: so, what will you do on your last day?

jimhalpert: when you leave to become a famous artist?

pambeesly: yeah right

jimhalpert: you never know

pambeesly: I don't know, I would like to say a few choice words to a certain blond accountant

jimhalpert: that would be awesome ;-)

pambeesly: but I would probably just get everyone's contact info

pambeesly: so I could keep in touch

jimhalpert: aw, no vengeful Pam?

pambeesly: nah

pambeesly: much as I complain about it, this place isn't that bad

pambeesly: what was that look for?

jimhalpert: that was me not believing you

pambeesly: don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to go home

pambeesly: but most of the time

pambeesly: it's not that bad :-)

jimhalpert: yeah, I don't think it's that bad either

jimhalpert: until Michael comes out of his office and says something like that

pambeesly: what the hell was that?

jimhalpert: God showing me that I should have put more thought into that Cumberland Mills job

jimhalpert: so excuse me while I touch up my resume to apply for that

pambeesly: will you ask if they need a receptionist?

jimhalpert: of course

pambeesly: thank you

Friday November 4, 2005 6:54pm

jimhalpert signed in at 6:54pm

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hi

jimhalpert: are you still at work?

pambeesly: :-/

jimhalpert: geez, sorry :-(

pambeesly: I just got back from sending all the forms Michael had to sign

pambeesly: plus I have a few of faxes to get out still

pambeesly: thanks to our little visit to the dojo

jimhalpert: yeah, I'm surprised I got out on time

pambeesly: but I'm safe, Dwight's still here

jimhalpert: he is?

pambeesly: yeah, Michael's upgraded him to Assistant Regional Manager

jimhalpert: wow, so what does that mean?

pambeesly: Dwight gets to white-out the ‘to the's on all his cards and letterheads

jimhalpert: a task he takes very seriously, I'm sure

pambeesly: you know it

pambeesly: thanks for the chips

jimhalpert: no need to thank me

jimhalpert: I owed them too you

jimhalpert: sorry today was weird

pambeesly: no

pambeesly: I overreacted

pambeesly: you were just goofing around

pambeesly: no

jimhalpert: good, because you started it

pambeesly: oh yeah?

jimhalpert: yeah, when you whacked me in the chin

jimhalpert: my face is my life, Pam, and you could have damaged it

pambeesly: with a foam mitt?

jimhalpert: anything can be a weapon in the wrong hands

pambeesly: speaking of weapons

pambeesly: I just saw Dwight put some nun-chucks in his desk

pambeesly: he really thinks he's being stealthy, it's hilarious

jimhalpert: real nun-chucks?

jimhalpert: or just plastic ones with the ninja turtles on them?

pambeesly: they looked legit

pambeesly: I think he's got something else

jimhalpert: that he wants to put in his desk?

pambeesly: yeah, let me send a fax, he'll go for it when he thinks my back is turned

jimhalpert: so, what's the verdict?

pambeesly: throwing stars

pambeesly: the gears are already turning in your head, aren't they?

jimhalpert: ;-)

November 9, 2005 2:16pm

jimhalpert: hey

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: I'm sorry

pambeesly: no, don't

jimhalpert: I shouldn't have said that

pambeesly: but you aren't the one that left me at that game

jimhalpert: still, it was a low blow

pambeesly: it just sucks, you know

pambeesly: it doesn't matter how long I've been with him, or how many great moments we've had

pambeesly: nothing's ever going to change the fact that he freakin forgot about me on our first date

jimhalpert: yeah, but it was high school

jimhalpert: we all did stupid stuff in high school

pambeesly: I highly doubt you ever did anything like that

pambeesly: anyway, are we good?

jimhalpert: we're good

pambeesly: good :-)

pambeesly: you're wrong btw

jimhalpert: what's this now?

pambeesly: when you said that some would say last night would have been our first date

pambeesly: you're wrong

jimhalpert: I know it wasn't a date

jimhalpert: I was just joking around

pambeesly: it would have been Cugino's

jimhalpert: huh?

pambeesly: when you took me Cugino's on my first day here

pambeesly: I think that would have been our first date

pambeesly: do you remember that?

jimhalpert: yeah, I remember that

jimhalpert: I couldn't understand how someone who grew up in Scranton could have never been to Cugino's ;-)

pambeesly: yeah yeah, I know :-p

pambeesly: I had a lot of fun at that lunch

pambeesly: I know I'm about 3 years late saying that

jimhalpert: nah, never too late

pambeesly: but really, I was ready to walk out until that lunch

pambeesly: then I decided DM wasn't too bad

jimhalpert: oh, well, I didn't really do you any favors then, did I?

pambeesly: :-p

jimhalpert: speaking of first dates

jimhalpert: what the hell is going on with Jan and Michael?

pambeesly: oh my god! I don't know!

pambeesly: but I just got a memo that she's coming for Michael's performance review next week

jimhalpert: uhhhh . . .

pambeesly: oh stop smirking over there and just say it

jimhalpert: that's what she said

pambeesly: oh Jim. . .

jimhalpert: I know, I'm becoming one of them

jimhalpert: I'm so disappointed in myself :'-(

pambeesly: *sigh*

November 18, 2005 2:24pm

jimhalpert: Dunder Mifflin, this is Sam

pambeesly: stop doing that!

jimhalpert: what?

pambeesly: you know what you're doing

pambeesly: messaging me right when I answer the phone

pambeesly: trying to make me say the wrong name

jimhalpert: who, me? 0:-)

pambeesly: *sigh*

jimhalpert: hey good work on Operation: keep Dwight thinking it's Friday yesterday

pambeesly: thank you, though once again you're the mastermind

jimhalpert: yeah, but you really sell the pranks

jimhalpert: I don't know what I'd do without you

pambeesly: well, you pranked Dwight plenty before I got here, right?

jimhalpert: yeah, I suppose

jimhalpert: there were a lot more people working here too, so it took him a while to figure out I was behind it

jimhalpert: plus Toby used to be out here, and we'd teamed up

pambeesly: Toby does pranks?

jimhalpert: Toby is amazing at pranks

jimhalpert: he's got that face, you know, he never cracks

jimhalpert: while I tend to smirk

pambeesly: yeah, you're smirky alright ;-)

jimhalpert: :-p

jimhalpert: but then he had to report Michael for something

jimhalpert: and it was off to the Annex with him

pambeesly: poor Toby

jimhalpert: eh, I think he was grateful actually

pambeesly: to be away from Dwight and Michael?

jimhalpert: yeah

pambeesly: yeah, I'd be too

jimhalpert: Dunder Mifflin this is Pete

jimhalpert: oh man, I almost got you!

pambeesly: I hate you

jimhalpert: no you don't :-)

December 5, 2005 11:23am

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hi

pambeesly: I don't know if I got a chance to thank you for Friday

pambeesly: I had a lot of fun

jimhalpert: good, I'm glad

jimhalpert: I thought the party was a success

jimhalpert: even with Michael

pambeesly: your duet was very touching

jimhalpert: thanks, we didn't get much time to rehearse together

jimhalpert: but now we're thinking of touring in the spring

pambeesly: oh good, I'll buy tickets

jimhalpert: :-)

pambeesly: but it was a lot of fun, I wish we all hung out together more often

jimhalpert: yeah

jimhalpert: Mark actually has people over every couple weeks

jimhalpert: just to hang out and maybe play some poker with

pambeesly: cool

jimhalpert: yeah, and you're always welcome to come by if you want

pambeesly: okay, cool, let me know whenever that's going on

jimhalpert: definitely

jimhalpert: so, when am I going to see your yearbook picture?

pambeesly: um, never

jimhalpert: aw, why not?

pambeesly: I was such an art geek in high school

jimhalpert: says the girl who called me dorky

pambeesly: but you were dorky in a still kinda cute way

pambeesly: I was dorky in a pathetic and hopeless way

jimhalpert: I don't believe you

pambeesly: no, really, it wasn't pretty

jimhalpert: you saw mine I should see yours

jimhalpert: tit for tit

pambeesly: what?

jimhalpert: sorry, something Dwight says

pambeesly: now there's something I'd be curious to see

pambeesly: Dwight in high school

jimhalpert: um, they actually made a movie about it

jimhalpert: it's called Napoleon Dynamite

pambeesly: oh my god!

jimhalpert: ?

pambeesly: that's it! he's a grown up Napoleon

jimhalpert: except not funny

pambeesly: wow, that movie is officially ruined for me

jimhalpert: yep, I know

pambeesly: wow

December 25 2005 4:23pm

pambeesly: Merry Christmas!

jimhalpert: Hey, Merry Christmas

pambeesly: what did you do, did you get anything good?

jimhalpert: um, I went over to my sister's

jimhalpert: got CDs mostly

jimhalpert: you?

pambeesly: went to Roy's parents

pambeesly: they got me some nice art books

jimhalpert: cool

pambeesly: and my parents are driving up for dinner

pambeesly: right now I'm trying to figure out the mp3 player Roy got me

jimhalpert: cool, what kind?

pambeesly: um, a Prism Duo Sport

jimhalpert: uh . . . cool?

pambeesly: yeah, I never heard of it either

pambeesly: knowing Roy, it was probably on clearance at Walmart

pambeesly: I shouldn't say that, it's a nice gift

jimhalpert: probably wish you had taken the ipod, huh?

pambeesly: no, I don't

jimhalpert: you really didn't have to give it up, just for a $20 teapot

pambeesly: Jim, seriously, I don't wish I kept the ipod

pambeesly: they're nice, don't get me wrong

pambeesly: but your gift meant something

pambeesly: all that ipod meant was Michael spent waaay too much money trying to impress Ryan

jimhalpert: all for an oven mitt

pambeesly: I don't really want anything that's a relic of Michael's weird man crush anyway

jimhalpert: Michael's love for Ryan is pure and true, Pam

jimhalpert: there's nothing weird about it

pambeesly: :-D

pambeesly: but I love my teapot

pambeesly: and the little bonus gifts :-)

jimhalpert: good, I'm glad

pambeesly: I maintain that you cheated in that mini-golf tournament

jimhalpert: really? Still haven't let that go huh?

pambeesly: you changed a 3 into an 8 on my card

jimhalpert: you're just embarrassed because no one should ever take more than 6 strokes on any mini-golf hole

pambeesly: I'm not embarrassed, I'm mad

pambeesly: because you cheated! >:-O

jimhalpert: my word against yours, Beesly

pambeesly: yeah yeah, I want a rematch in the spring

jimhalpert: bring it on ;-)

pambeesly: hey, was there a card in the box?

jimhalpert: a card?

pambeesly: yeah, I could have sworn that there was a card

pambeesly: but when I got home it wasn't in there

jimhalpert: nope, no card, just the teapot

pambeesly: okay

pambeesly: I hear my mom downstairs, I should go

pambeesly: Merry Christmas Jim :-)

jimhalpert: Merry Christmas Pam

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hey

pambeesly: just got home?

jimhalpert: yeah, took the babies home, burped them, and put them to bed

pambeesly: :-D

pambeesly: so you actually went to the infamous Schrute beet farm?

jimhalpert: actually, no, it was weird

jimhalpert: I got back to drop off Meredith's van and Angela was still here

jimhalpert: and she insisted on taking Dwight home

pambeesly: hmm

jimhalpert: but whatever, it saved me a trip to wherever the hell the Schrute farm is

pambeesly: yeah

jimhalpert: so are you going to miss him?

pambeesly: who?

jimhalpert: Bizzaro Dwight

pambeesly: oh, I dunno

pambeesly: it was really nice to have him be nice to me for a change

pambeesly: but it was still Dwight

jimhalpert: yeah

pambeesly: I know you won't miss Bizzaro Dwight

jimhalpert: oh yeah?

pambeesly: yeah, because you would feel bad about pranking him, and then what would you do?

jimhalpert: I'd have to find a new prank target

pambeesly: but the only other person who would fall as completely for pranks as Dwight does is Michael

pambeesly: and he's our boss, so it's a bit risky

jimhalpert: true, true

jimhalpert: but there's still Phyllis, Kevin, maybe Kelly

jimhalpert: and of course, you

pambeesly: me?

jimhalpert: yeah

pambeesly: why would you ever play a prank on me?

jimhalpert: the right occasion may come at some point

jimhalpert: so be ready, Beesly

pambeesly: no way, I know all your tricks

pambeesly: I will never fall for one of your pranks.

January 13, 2006 8:54am

pambeesly: good morning

jimhalpert: morning

pambeesly: you okay?

pambeesly: did you get sea sick or anything?

jimhalpert: no, why?

pambeesly: I just noticed a lot of people felt sick on the boat

jimhalpert: nope, feel normal

pambeesly: crazy night, huh?

jimhalpert: yeah, that it was

pambeesly: I just wanted to say your toast was really nice

pambeesly: I mean, before Dwight interrupted it :-/

jimhalpert: yeah, one of the hazzards of working with him

pambeesly: and I also wanted to say I feel the same way about you

pambeesly: you really are my best friend

pambeesly: sorry if that's sappy, but it's true

jimhalpert: no, it's not sappy. Thanks

pambeesly: so Katy sure was interested in knowing about being engaged

jimhalpert: really

pambeesly: sorry, I'm not trying to freak you out or anything

jimhalpert: actually we decided to not see each other anymore

pambeesly: oh, I'm sorry

jimhalpert: it's okay

pambeesly: do you want to talk about it?

jimhalpert: not really

pambeesly: oh

jimhalpert: sorry, I mean there's not much to talk about

pambeesly: okay

pambeesly: well if you do wanna talk about it, you know where to find me

jimhalpert: actually, could I get directions again?

jimhalpert: I can never remember if it's a right or a left at the jelly bean dispenser

pambeesly: it's tricky, since it's been known to move, but usually it's a left

jimhalpert: thanks, I'll make sure to write that down

pambeesly: :-)

jimhalpert: uh oh, I might have to actually get to work here

pambeesly: okay, I'll let you do that

pambeesly: and seriously, you wanna talk, I'm here for you

jimhalpert: thanks

January 20, 2006 7:22pm

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hello

pambeesly: what are you up to?

jimhalpert: just had some dinner, probably gonna watch a movie or something

jimhalpert: you?

pambeesly: I'm packing

jimhalpert: packing?

pambeesly: yeah, I forgot to tell you, Roy and I are going to the Poconos for a few days

pambeesly: I'll be back on Thursday

jimhalpert: already taking time off, huh?

pambeesly: I know, I promised myself I'd wait until at least March this year

pambeesly: no such luck

jimhalpert: well, have fun

pambeesly: thanks

pambeesly: are you okay?

jimhalpert: yeah, why?

pambeesly: you just seemed down when we left work

pambeesly: and you're being kinda quiet

pambeesly: I know today was a little awkward

jimhalpert: I'm okay

pambeesly: you're probably bummed out about Katy too, huh?

jimhalpert: not really

jimhalpert: I mean, I'm not happy about the way that went down

jimhalpert: but I knew for a while that it wasn't going anywhere

pambeesly: oh

jimhalpert: actually, to be honest with you

pambeesly: hey, I gotta go

pambeesly: Roy needs to use the computer

jimhalpert: oh okay, well, again have fun

pambeesly: thanks, and hey

jimhalpert: yeah?

pambeesly: you'll find someone someday

pambeesly: and she's going to make you really happy

pambeesly signed off at 7:34pm

pambeesly: you're back!

jimhalpert: I am

pambeesly: you have no idea how happy I am to see you when I look up

jimhalpert: well, you have no idea how happy I am that Kelly is in a different room

pambeesly: why, what's wrong with Kelly?

jimhalpert: other than being Scranton's version of a Valley Girl?

pambeesly: really?

jimhalpert: there literally wasn't a single moment that she wasn't talking

jimhalpert: I think I now know everything about her

pambeesly: favorite color?

jimhalpert: pink

pambeesly: favorite movie?

jimhalpert: Pretty in Pink

pambeesly: uh-huh, okay, so I'm guessing favorite musician is also Pink?

jimhalpert: that's her favorite female artist, her favorite male artist is Usher

jimhalpert: which is also what she plans on naming her first child

pambeesly: you're lying to me

jimhalpert: oh how I wish

pambeesly: wow, I had no idea

jimhalpert: yeah, I now truly understand the term "captive audience"

jimhalpert: oh, and she had me try to set her up with Ryan

pambeesly: really? Ryan?

jimhalpert: yeah, cuz he's soooooo cute :-/

pambeesly: yikes, I assume he has no idea how she really is either

jimhalpert: probably not

jimhalpert: I give it a week

pambeesly: well believe me, things were equally bad out here

pambeesly: I never fully appreciated the wall between Michael's office and the main room until yesterday

jimhalpert: yeah, he managed to rearrange all my files

pambeesly: you're lucky he didn't fold them all into paper airplanes

jimhalpert: this is true

pambeesly: so, are you busy?

jimhalpert: why?

pambeesly: well, I haven't talked to you all week, plus you look like you need a jelly bean

jimhalpert: hmm, maybe I do

pambeesly: so maybe you should come get one

jimhalpert: maybe I will

pambeesly: :-)

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hey

pambeesly: what's up?

jimhalpert: eh, just stalling until 5 like usual

pambeesly: yeah, same here, I'm on a 4-game winning streak in Freecell

jimhalpert: awesome

jimhalpert: hey, I didn't mean to get that way in the kitchen earlier

pambeesly: I know you didn't

jimhalpert: and it's a bit hypocritical of me to lecture

jimhalpert: I'm not exactly living my dream right now

pambeesly: no, you weren't lecturing, you were just being a friend

jimhalpert: you just love art so much

jimhalpert: and I think you'd be happy if you did more of it

pambeesly: yeah

pambeesly: it's just one of those things

pambeesly: something comes up and that's what always ends up on the back burner

jimhalpert: I know that one

pambeesly: if I had known about that internship before we set a date

jimhalpert: yeah, the timing wasn't great

pambeesly: probably would have found a reason not to do it then either

jimhalpert: maybe, maybe not

pambeesly: there are some summer classes at the community center

pambeesly: they're pretty inexpensive and it would be at night

pambeesly: and a couple start in July

jimhalpert: well, I think you already know what I think of that ;-)

pambeesly: it's not as much ‘real world' experience as that internship

pambeesly: but it's something

jimhalpert: maybe you should take an oath

pambeesly: an oath?

jimhalpert: yes, repeat after me

jimhalpert: "I, Pamela Beesly"

pambeesly: are you really making me do this?

jimhalpert: yes ;-)

pambeesly: fine, I, Pamela Beesly

jimhalpert: "swear on my Dunder Mifflin employee handbook that I have never read"

pambeesly: swear on the DM handbook

jimhalpert: "that I will take summer art classes at the community center regardless of any circumstances save death or severe illness"

pambeesly: that I will take summer art classes unless I'm dead or really sick

jimhalpert: okay, good enough

jimhalpert: "and if I don't take the classes my punishment will be to kiss Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute on the lips"

pambeesly: wow, do I have no other options, like getting a lashing or having to shave my head?

jimhalpert: nope

pambeesly: fine, if I don't take the classes, I'll kiss Michael or Dwight on the lips

jimhalpert: :-) okay

pambeesly: I'm surprised typing that didn't make my keyboard burst into flames

jimhalpert: I certainly have some incriminating evidence if I ever want to blackmail you

pambeesly: no, you don't, because you're going to promise you won't tell anyone about this oath, or what my punishment is

pambeesly: and if you do, then you will have to kiss Dwight on the lips

jimhalpert: ah, c'mon, I gave you the Michael option

pambeesly: I guess I'm not as nice as you :-p

jimhalpert: fine, I'll promise not to tell anyone

pambeesly: okay, we have a deal then

jimhalpert: good

February 15, 2006 10:12am

jimhalpert: morning

pambeesly: morning

jimhalpert: so, how do you think Michael's trip to New York went?

pambeesly: well, no one from corporate has called yet, so that's usually a sign that it wasn't a total disaster

jimhalpert: yeah, sounds like it might have gone well, based on that

pambeesly: I wonder if he showed the video

jimhalpert: what video?

pambeesly: remember when he brought in his video camera last week?

jimhalpert: yeah

pambeesly: he made a video to show corporate, I believe he called it "The Faces of Scranton."

jimhalpert: uh-oh

pambeesly: yeah, I know

jimhalpert: dang, I didn't put on any makeup that day either

pambeesly: :-D

pambeesly: how was your Valentine's day?

jimhalpert: eh, pretty dull, all my friends apparently went and got girlfriends on me

jimhalpert: so it was just me and a fridge full of beer

pambeesly: sounds better than my night

jimhalpert: really?

pambeesly: I guess when I told Roy not to spend too much on V-day, he took it to mean "don't spend anything at all"

jimhalpert: sorry

pambeesly: it's no big deal

pambeesly: it's just a Hallmark holiday anyway

jimhalpert: yeah

jimhalpert: so no one got you anything?

pambeesly: well, you know, people handed out candy, and Michael had those classy plastic roses

jimhalpert: ah, yes

jimhalpert: so I guess you haven't looked in your top drawer yet

pambeesly: no, why?

jimhalpert: just a hunch

jimhalpert: you like it then?

pambeesly: omg!

pambeesly: wow, you might have topped last year

jimhalpert: I do what I can

jimhalpert: sorry it's late

pambeesly: that's okay, it's perfect

jimhalpert: Happy day after Valentine's day

pambeesly: you too :-)

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hey, happy Saturday

pambeesly: whoohoo

pambeesly: up to anything good this weekend?

jimhalpert: not really, just chilling

pambeesly: yeah, me too

pambeesly: I still can't believe you're going to Australia

jimhalpert: yeah, I can't either, it's going to be an experience

jimhalpert: I can see you typing down there

pambeesly: oh, it's nothing

jimhalpert: what?

pambeesly: just gonna ask you something, but never mind

jimhalpert: come on, what?

pambeesly: are you missing my wedding on purpose?

jimhalpert: no, I'm not

jimhalpert: it was kind of a spur of the moment purchase

jimhalpert: the ticket

pambeesly: and you just happen to be leaving 2 days before?

jimhalpert: I really wasn't thinking about the date

pambeesly: no?

jimhalpert: no, I just wasn't thinking about it

pambeesly: I have a really hard time believing that

jimhalpert: well I don't know what to tell you

pambeesly: if there's something you want to say, I wished you'd say it

pambeesly: because you have to have a better reason than "I spaced out the date."

jimhalpert: I'm sorry to disappoint you but that's the reason

jimhalpert: I just wanted to book a ticket, that's the date the travel agent said, and I said okay

jimhalpert: and if you don't believe me, then you don't believe me

pambeesly: no, I believe you

pambeesly: sorry

jimhalpert: it's okay

pambeesly: I just never thought you wouldn't be there

jimhalpert: yeah, I know

pambeesly: I really wish you were gonna be there

jimhalpert: you're going to be so busy that day

jimhalpert: you probably won't even notice I'm not there

pambeesly: :-/ I doubt that

jimhalpert: well I'm gonna log off

pambeesly: okay, I probably am too

jimhalpert: have a good weekend

jimhalpert: I'll see you Monday

pambeesly: yeah, you too

March 10, 2006 9:13am

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: good morning

pambeesly: how's it going?

jimhalpert: fine, little quiet compared to yesterday

pambeesly: yeah, I know

pambeesly: so I have a question

jimhalpert: yeah?

pambeesly: how did you get to be so good with kids?

jimhalpert: I'm good with kids?

pambeesly: you're great with kids

jimhalpert: I don't know, just am, I guess

pambeesly: I wish you could send some of that skill my way

pambeesly: I'm so awkward with them, it's embarrassing

jimhalpert: I saw you hit it off with Meredith's son okay

pambeesly: yeah, after I struck out with all the other kids

jimhalpert: well, I think Abby felt as awkward as you did

jimhalpert: and Melissa's a teenager and they're practically impossible to get along with anyway

pambeesly: I appreciate all that, but the fact remains that I'm generally terrible with kids

jimhalpert: you'll get better

pambeesly: maybe

pambeesly: so you went on a date last night?

jimhalpert: I did, you have good ears

pambeesly: sorry, I just heard you say it to Kevin and Abby

jimhalpert: it's cool, not like it's a big secret or anything

pambeesly: so . . . how was it?

jimhalpert: it was nice, had dinner, caught a movie

pambeesly: you gonna see her again?

jimhalpert: I don't know, she lives kind of far away, I guess we'll see

pambeesly: ah

jimhalpert: so here's some kid advice

pambeesly: okay

jimhalpert: don't dress your kids in little suits

pambeesly: oh my god!

pambeesly: I'm slowly but surely figuring out why Michael is the way he is

jimhalpert: yeah, I get a few clues every year, and they generally point to something related to his mother

pambeesly: she must be . . . I don't know what

jimhalpert: a female version of Michael?

pambeesly: great, now when I see him today I'll be imagining that

pambeesly: thanks

jimhalpert: you're welcome ;-)

March 16, 2006, 9:34am

jimhalpert: so here's something I never ever thought I would say

pambeesly: ?

jimhalpert: I had fun at Michael's birthday party

pambeesly: wow, I think you've finally snapped

jimhalpert: have I?

pambeesly: no, j/k, I had a lot of fun too

jimhalpert: good call on the Night Swept set

pambeesly: what did I tell you?

jimhalpert: um, I believe your exact words were "The more it sounds like a cheesy 80's movie, the more Michael will love it"

pambeesly: and I was right, wasn't I?

jimhalpert: yes, you were

jimhalpert: congrats on your intimate knowledge of Michael Scott

pambeesly: oh god

pambeesly: please don't ever use ‘intimate' and ‘Michael' in the same sentence again

jimhalpert: I knew that would get you ;-)

pambeesly: :-p

pambeesly: so, did you use that fabric softener last night?

jimhalpert: why are you so fascinated with my use of fabric softener?

jimhalpert: is it so wrong that I like my sheets to smell like a fresh spring breeze?

jimhalpert: it's not funny

pambeesly: sorry, sorry, I know you take it seriously

pambeesly: I don't think I've seen Roy touch even a dryer sheet in all the time we've lived together

pambeesly: so I guess I assumed guys are just that way

jimhalpert: well, you know what happens when you assume

pambeesly: don't actually type it out

jimhalpert: you make an ASS out of U and ME

pambeesly: such a dork

jimhalpert: yes, but I'm a dork with great smelling clothes ;-)

pambeesly: so, do you have any other metrosexual tendencies I should know about?

jimhalpert: what is this? calling me metrosexual?

pambeesly: do you use facial moisturizer or get pedicures on the weekends?

jimhalpert: I think my shaving cream has some sort of something in it

jimhalpert: and I only get pedies on very special occasions ;-)

pambeesly: oh really?

jimhalpert: yes, in fact I haven't even been to an occasion special enough to warrant getting one

pambeesly: ah

jimhalpert: yeah

pambeesly: maybe next year for Michael's b-day we can go to a spa, and all get manies and pedies

jimhalpert: wow, and here I thought you didn't want any more intimate knowledge of Michael, now you want to go with a spa with him

pambeesly: no, no, I mean everyone, not just Michael

jimhalpert: you wanna take a mud bath with him?

pambeesly: stop it

jimhalpert: get his-and-her shiatsu massages?

pambeesly: I will close this window if you don't stop

jimhalpert: just remind him that the cucumber slices are for the eyes, not for eating

pambeesly: okay, I'm going now

jimhalpert: and the green facial mask isn't guacamole

pambeesly: good bye

pambeesly signed off at 9:54am

pambeesly signed in at 10:01am

pambeesly: are you going to behave now?

jimhalpert: yes, but only because I don't know what else they do at a spa

pambeesly: okay

jimhalpert: oh wait, how could I forget!

jimhalpert: waxing!

pambeesly: please hold while I block you from my buddy list

jimhalpert: :-D hehe

Thursday, April 27, 2006. 1:35pm

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: :-)

pambeesly: so, what's up

jimhalpert: :-/

pambeesly: are you actually not going to type?

jimhalpert: :-X

pambeesly: you know, since messaging isn't really talking out loud, you are allowed to do it under jinx

jimhalpert: 0:-)

pambeesly: wow, you're really being hardcore about this, aren't you

jimhalpert: ;-)

pambeesly: are you making many sales today?

jimhalpert: :-(

pambeesly: yeah, didn't think so ;-)

jimhalpert: :-P

pambeesly: your performance in the conference room was quite impressive, if I may say

jimhalpert: :-D

pambeesly: you're pretty quick on your feet about things like that, I'm a little envious

jimhalpert: ;-)

pambeesly: so who's Brenda?

jimhalpert: :-X

pambeesly: oh, right, I'm limited to "yes no" questions, aren't I?

jimhalpert: :-)

pambeesly: is she who you went out with a few weeks ago?

jimhalpert: :-)

pambeesly: have you been seeing her since then?

jimhalpert: :-(

pambeesly: ah, I figured, since she didn't have your extension

jimhalpert: :-/

pambeesly: so do you know what Dwight's up to

jimhalpert: :-o :-)

pambeesly: care to share

jimhalpert: :-X

pambeesly: oh yeah, I keep forgetting

pambeesly: why didn't you go get a coke during lunch?

jimhalpert: :-/

pambeesly: I can only assume you're kind of enjoying this "can't talk" situation

jimhalpert: :-$

pambeesly: I'm pretty sure the machines in the lobby have Cokes

jimhalpert: :-/

pambeesly: not gonna go get one?

jimhalpert: 8-)

pambeesly: you are an odd one, Jim Halpert

jimhalpert: ;-)

pambeesly: but I like you anyways

jimhalpert: :-D

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: how's it going?

pambeesly: okay

jimhalpert: yeah, same here

pambeesly: cool

pambeesly: how did your doctor's appointment go?

jimhalpert: fine, everything checked out ok

pambeesly: that's good

jimhalpert: so hey

pambeesly: ?

jimhalpert: about that complaint thing

pambeesly: it's really okay

jimhalpert: I wasn't even really complaining, I was just talking

jimhalpert: I forget it's Toby's job to write down stuff like that

pambeesly: I'm just embarrassed at the way I treated Angela all day

pambeesly: you even tried to warn me

jimhalpert: yeah, but I let you think it was her all day

jimhalpert: I should have just told you

pambeesly: yeah, but it's done now

pambeesly: and I'm really not mad

jimhalpert: okay

pambeesly: Roy is involved, btw

jimhalpert: ?

pambeesly: in the kitchen, I kind of made it sound like he hasn't done anything

pambeesly: but really, he's done a lot

jimhalpert: I'm sure he has

pambeesly: sometimes I just want it to be June 11th

pambeesly: then everything can get back to normal

jimhalpert: yeah, I can understand that

pambeesly: whenever you get married, I highly recommend eloping

jimhalpert: ha, well, that's not happening in the foreseeable future, but thanks for the tip

pambeesly: Roy's suggested just going to the court house a few times

jimhalpert: well, for the sake of your guests, I'm going to encourage resisting that urge

pambeesly: oh, no, I'm in way too deep now, it's just a fleeting thought

jimhalpert: well, like you said, just a few more weeks, and things will get back to normal

pambeesly: yeah

jimhalpert: okay, I'm off

pambeesly: okay, have a good weekend

jimhalpert: thanks, you too

jimhalpert: see ya Monday

May 11, 2006 11:35am

pambeesly: so, I can't decide if you're that convincing or if Dwight is just that gullible

pambeesly: because I think he really does think you moved the coat rack

jimhalpert: I'm gonna go with a little of both

pambeesly: that may have been your best prank ever

jimhalpert: well, it would have been nothing without your fast thinking

pambeesly: thanks

pambeesly: excited for Casino Night?

jimhalpert: yeah, I mean, as excited as I ever get for company events

jimhalpert: you?

pambeesly: I'm pretty excited

pambeesly: I'm not gonna lie, I'm good at casino games

jimhalpert: oh really?

jimhalpert: well, I always beat my friends at poker, so I'm not so bad either

pambeesly: ah, well, you'll have to prove that tonight

pambeesly: in fact, I'm going to challenge you to a poker game

pambeesly: just you and me

jimhalpert: okay

pambeesly: and bring some tissues because you're gonna leave the table crying

jimhalpert: wow, you're talking an awful big game there, Beesly

pambeesly: just be prepared

jimhalpert: well, I accept the challenge

jimhalpert: but I'm going to forego the tissues

pambeesly: ;-)

pambeesly: oh, I keep forgetting to tell you, Jan wants you to call her

jimhalpert: okay

jimhalpert: did she say why?

pambeesly: no, and she didn't sound too urgent, just said call her sometime

pambeesly: I'm gonna guess it's Michael related

jimhalpert: yeah, usually is

pambeesly: oop, nearly lunch time

pambeesly: what are you doing for lunch?

jimhalpert: well, there's always the eternal dilemma of whether I'm gonna eat in the breakroom or in the kitchen

jimhalpert: right now it feels like a breakroom day

pambeesly: cool, maybe I'll see you there ;-)

jimhalpert: :-)

maloney1969: ever since Pam called it off

jimhalpert: called what off?

maloney1969: the wedding

maloney1969: she called if off like 3 days before, never said why

maloney1969: you didn't hear about that?

jimhalpert: oh

jimhalpert: yeah, I'd heard

jimhalpert: sorry, I was just spacing out there

maloney1969: the band was really pumped about the gig too, it was a bummer

jimhalpert: sounds tragic

jimhalpert: so, what do I need to do

jimhalpert: for the fantasy football

maloney1969: you have the same email address, right?

jimhalpert: yeah, I do

maloney1969: I'll send you the account info

pambeesly: it probably didn't help that the cameras AND Kelly were there

pambeesly: but definitely no spark

pambeesly: not even anything close to resembling a spark

helenebee: sounds awkward

pambeesly: yeah, but I guess it was good experience

helenebee: definitely, if I remember correctly, you were still in braces on your last "first date"

pambeesly: thanks for the reminder

helenebee: just teasing you, dear

pambeesly: I know :-)

pambeesly: so Michael went to Philly today to a paper convention

pambeesly: and I guess Jim was there

helenebee: really

pambeesly: yeah, I mean, of course, he's the assistant manager in Stamford

pambeesly: I forget we still work for the same company sometimes

helenebee: so, did you hear how he's doing or anything?

pambeesly: I'll probably get a full report from Michael on every little thing he did on Monday

pambeesly: maybe news about Jim will be scattered in there

helenebee: maybe you should send him an email sometime

helenebee: I'm sure he'd like to hear from you

pambeesly: yeah, maybe, I don't know

helenebee: if you want to, of course

pambeesly: yeah

pambeesly: so I think I'm gonna cook some dinner, I didn't eat much on my date tonight.

helenebee: okay, I love you honey

helenebee: and I think you were pretty brave, going on that blind date set up by Kelly of all people

pambeesly: thanks mom

helenebee: night

pambeesly: night

October 3, 2006 9:34am

kfilippelli: get any COD practice in last night?

jimhalpert: um no

jimhalpert: my apartment is remaining neutral in the war, so no fighting allowed

kfilippelli: aw, too bad, you probably needed it

jimhalpert: why, we're not playing again today, are we?

kfilippelli: no, but I predict we will by the end of the week

jimhalpert: that's super

kfilippelli: you really never played call of duty?

jimhalpert: My ex-roommate had it on his Xbox, but I never played it

jimhalpert: and Scranton is pretty consistently DM's worst or 2nd worst branch, so introducing video games there would probably not be a good idea

kfilippelli: eh, they might as well, since it's going to be closed down by the end of the year anyway

jimhalpert: where did you heard that?

kfilippelli: that's just the word that's been going around since Wallace became CFO

kfilippelli: part of his restructuring plan

kfilippelli: plus when Jan came in I heard her complaining about the manager making everyone watch a movie?

jimhalpert: yeah, sounds about right for Michael

kfilippelli: and I guess one of the employees talked to her about taking over the branch

kfilippelli: Dwayne or something

jimhalpert: Dwight

kfilippelli: yeah, Dwight

kfilippelli: does that sound like something he would do?

jimhalpert: um, yes and no

jimhalpert: he's fiercely loyal to Michael, but he's also a megalomaniac

kfilippelli: that sounds like an oxymoron

jimhalpert: Dwight's oxymoronic alright

jimhalpert: so Jan wasn't mad to see us playing video games?

kfilippelli: I guess with our numbers she's willing to forgive that

kfilippelli: plus Josh is in real good with Wallace, they go golfing sometimes

jimhalpert: huh

jimhalpert: oh no

jimhalpert: I thought you said we weren't gonna play today

kfilippelli: guess I was wrong

jimhalpert: any quick tips before we start?

kfilippelli: just start saying your prayers Halpert

jimhalpert: great, thanks

kfilippelli: :-)

October 12, 2006 7:23pm

helenebee: hey

pambeesly: hi, mom

helenebee: how was your day?

pambeesly: um, it was interesting

pambeesly: Ed Truck, the regional manager before Michael, died

helenebee: that's sad to hear

pambeesly: so of course, Michael held a meeting and we all got to watch him struggle to accept the reality and finality of death

helenebee: that sounds like what you went through when Grandpop died

helenebee: of course, you were 10

pambeesly: 10's about right for Michael

pambeesly: but during the session he wanted us to recall our own experiences with death

pambeesly: so I recounted Million Dollar Baby, but he never caught on

helenebee: :-D

pambeesly: then he found a dead bird outside the building, so I made it a coffin and we had a service for it

helenebee: wow

pambeesly: yeah, it's just part of the job, answer phones, send faxes, coordinate bird funerals

helenebee: sounds like something Jim would have done

pambeesly: yeah, it does, doesn't it

pambeesly: I miss him

helenebee: I'm sure you do

pambeesly: especially days like today

helenebee: not to sound cliché, but he really is just a phone call away

pambeesly: I know, I've memorized his Stamford number from looking it up on the company directory so many times

pambeesly: can't ever bring myself to dial that last digit, though

helenebee: it's hard, but waiting longer isn't going to make it easier

pambeesly: yeah, you're right

helenebee: I'm not trying to pressure you, I'm just saying

pambeesly: no, you're not pressuring

helenebee: but I think you will when you're ready

pambeesly: yeah, but I need a push sometimes, you know

helenebee: I know, I am your mother after all ;-)

helenebee: oh dear, your father's having a washing machine crisis again

pambeesly: wow, I'm surprised he's still allowed to touch it after last time

helenebee: he's probably not going to be allowed to anymore in about 5 minutes

pambeesly: :-)

helenebee: I love you

pambeesly: love you too

helenebee: and next time we talk, I want to hear how one throws a bird funeral ;-)

pambeesly: okay :-D

October 18, 2006, 11:36am

pambeesly: hi

jimhalpert: hey

jimhalpert: been a while since I've seen a message window from you pop up

pambeesly: yeah, I know

pambeesly: sorry about the abrupt end to our conversation yesterday

jimhalpert: it was okay, I didn't realize how late it was

pambeesly: yeah, me either

pambeesly: Dwight and Ryan were just getting back from a sales call

jimhalpert: really?

pambeesly: well, I guess the story is Dwight took Ryan to the Schrute farm for some kind of initiation

jimhalpert: wow

pambeesly: then the sales call didn't go well, so they went drinking

jimhalpert: hmm

pambeesly: did Dwight ever initiate you?

jimhalpert: I guess you could call it an initiation, he abandoned me once at Lake Wallenpaupack

pambeesly: oh no!

jimhalpert: yeah, but he didn't count on the fact that I had gone camping there every summer since I was 8 so I knew where the nearest ranger station was

pambeesly: oops

jimhalpert: and a piece of paper flew out of his car, so I reported him for littering

pambeesly: nice

pambeesly: so I realize I didn't hear much about Stamford yesterday

jimhalpert: what about Stamford?

pambeesly: just what it's like and how you're doing

jimhalpert: um, it's okay, a bit more professional than Scranton

pambeesly: which can't be too hard

jimhalpert: no

jimhalpert: and everyone here is reasonably well adjusted, so not as many antics

pambeesly: ah

jimhalpert: actually, the guy in front of me, Andy, he's a little nutty

pambeesly: oh yeah?

jimhalpert: yeah, try to picture a combination of Michael AND Dwight

pambeesly: I don't think I should, my head might spontaneously combust

jimhalpert: :-D

jimhalpert: but they sell a lot more paper here, so I'm working harder

pambeesly: that's good, right?

jimhalpert: I guess, it's not like paper is any more exciting here in Stamford

pambeesly: you don't have magic Connecticut paper?

jimhalpert: you're thinking of Rhode Island paper

jimhalpert: RI paper is really where it's at

pambeesly: :-)

pambeesly: hey, I forgot to tell you yesterday

pambeesly: I'm taking some art classes

jimhalpert: really?

pambeesly: yeah, it's just basic classes, but I'm actually learning a lot

jimhalpert: that's really great Pam :-)

pambeesly: thanks :-)

pambeesly: ham and cheese in the breakroom?

jimhalpert: I'm actually going out to lunch with my boss, not sure where

pambeesly: oh, well, have fun

jimhalpert: yeah, I'll try

pambeesly: and hey, you can message me anytime

pambeesly: Scranton hasn't gotten any more exciting

jimhalpert: okay

jimhalpert: have a good day

pambeesly: you too

pambeesly: good

pambeesly: as good as I can be on a Monday that is :-/

jimhalpert: yeah, I hear ya

jimhalpert: do anything fun this weekend?

pambeesly: um, we all went to this Diwali celebration on Friday

pambeesly: it's an Indian festival, Kelly invited us

jimhalpert: wow I bet that was interesting

jimhalpert: given Michael's track record with any kind of cultural event

pambeesly: yeah, and Ryan meeting Kelly's parents

jimhalpert: really?

jimhalpert: they're still together?

pambeesly: yeah sad to say

jimhalpert: wow

jimhalpert: so, sorry I didn't reply to your text

pambeesly: no big deal

jimhalpert: I was a little inebriated :-/

pambeesly: I forgot I had sent it

pambeesly: really?

jimhalpert: yeah, long story

jimhalpert: actually no, it's a short story

jimhalpert: Jim was pressured into taking several shots of Jager by a coworker

pambeesly: uh-oh

jimhalpert: and you can probably figure out the rest

pambeesly: sounds like you're getting settled in and making friends, though

pambeesly: that's good

jimhalpert: yeah, I suppose

jimhalpert: so what did Michael do?

pambeesly: huh?

jimhalpert: in your text, you said Michael did something crazy, what did he do?

pambeesly: oh, well, like you said, Michael + culture = disaster

pambeesly: just typical Michael stuff, kinda had to be there, y'know?

jimhalpert: yeah

jimhalpert: well, I'm heading out, have a good week, Pam

pambeesly: you too

sweetlarissa: hey

jimhalpert: hey, sis

sweetlarissa: did you get those apartment listings I sent?

jimhalpert: I did, thanks, really saved me some time

sweetlarissa: are you sure you don't need me to come out there to help you?

sweetlarissa: it wouldn't be a big deal to borrow Greg's truck

jimhalpert: really, I'm okay, they gave me a check for moving expenses, which is more than enough to buy a new TV and bed

jimhalpert: which are pretty much the only two things I bought here

jimhalpert: everything else will fit in my car

sweetlarissa: that's . . . kinda sad

jimhalpert: oh, be quiet

jimhalpert: hey, is Cooper's still open?

sweetlarissa: um, yeah, I'm sure it always will be, why?

jimhalpert: just thinking about taking someone there

sweetlarissa: who?

jimhalpert: oh, one of my coworkers, Karen

jimhalpert: she kind of asked me out, but we're both busy with moving, so I thought I'd take her out when we got to Scranton

sweetlarissa: hmmm

jimhalpert: what?

sweetlarissa: did she ask you out before or after you found out the branch was closing?

jimhalpert: why does it matter?

sweetlarissa: just, interesting timing

sweetlarissa: considering who you'll be working with again in about a week . . .

jimhalpert: this has nothing to do with Pam

sweetlarissa: you sure?

jimhalpert: I've talked to Pam a total of, oh, 3 times since I moved

jimhalpert: and none of those conversations consisted of the words "I miss you, Jim"

jimhalpert: "maybe we can get together sometime, Jim"

jimhalpert: "hey, Jim, let me tell you why I canceled my wedding 3 days before but then never called you"

sweetlarissa: did you ever think of saying any of those kind of things to her?

jimhalpert: I did, for 3 years

jimhalpert: and she never gave me any indication she felt anything for me

sweetlarissa: she kissed you back, didn't she?

jimhalpert: I don't even remember anymore

sweetlarissa: Oh, c'mon, Jim, yes you do

sweetlarissa: don't pull this "don't care" routine

sweetlarissa: if you didn't care, you wouldn't be freaking out about coming back

jimhalpert: she's clearly moving on

jimhalpert: it's about time I do too

jimhalpert: and I like Karen

sweetlarissa: okay

jimhalpert: do I need your permission to date her?

sweetlarissa: I just want you to date her because you like her, not for any other reasons

jimhalpert: okay

jimhalpert: are you working toward getting a relationship advice column in the Times-Tribune?

sweetlarissa: shoot, you found me out!

sweetlarissa: I mostly want to see the pseudonyms people come up with

sweetlarissa: like "Sleepless in Scranton"

jimhalpert: weak, how about "Down and Out in Dunmore"

sweetlarissa: "Wildly Bored in Wilkes Barre"

jimhalpert: "Critical Condition in Carbondale"

sweetlarissa: :-)

jimhalpert: you know who's pretty good at coming up with names?

sweetlarissa: who?

sweetlarissa: don't leave me hanging here

jimhalpert: nevermind

sweetlarissa: who?

jimhalpert: oh, I was gonna say dad

sweetlarissa: Dad? no way

jimhalpert: yeah, that's why I said nevermind

sweetlarissa: okay, I'm hungry

jimhalpert: me too

sweetlarissa: see you this weekend?

jimhalpert: yeah, definitely

sweetlarissa: hey, I for one am happy you're coming back

jimhalpert: well, it's worth it to be there to make sure you're staying out of trouble

sweetlarissa: :-p

November 15 2006 8:34pm

helenebee: hey honey

pambeesly: hey mom

helenebee: how are you?

pambeesly: fine

helenebee: big day today, right?

pambeesly: yeah, it was pretty crazy

pambeesly: one person from Stamford already quit

helenebee: wow

pambeesly: yeah, I somehow doubt they'll be the only one :-/

helenebee: how's Jim? ;-)

pambeesly: fine I guess

helenebee: he was happy to see you, right?

pambeesly: yeah, he seemed happy

helenebee: good :-)

helenebee: so, did you ask him out or anything?

pambeesly: I asked him to coffee, but he's pretty busy, moving and all

helenebee: is something wrong?

helenebee: Pam?

pambeesly: he's dating someone

pambeesly: someone else that transferred from Stamford

helenebee: what?

pambeesly: her name is Karen

pambeesly: and of course she's beautiful

helenebee: oh, sweetie

pambeesly: perfect hair and perfect skin

helenebee: so, what, did he introduce her as his girlfriend

pambeesly: not exactly

pambeesly: he stopped me in the parking lot and told me he "sort of started seeing someone"

pambeesly: I don't think he even knows that I know it's her

pambeesly: but it was obvious, I saw her rubbing his back and stuff

helenebee: do you think they're serious?

helenebee: he was only there for 6 months

helenebee: plus "sort of seeing someone" doesn't sound too serious

pambeesly: she moved here with him

pambeesly: sounds pretty serious to me

pambeesly: I should have known

helenebee: there's no way you could have known

pambeesly: he was so distant the couple times we talked

pambeesly: I should have known something was up

helenebee: it's only his first day back

helenebee: and you know how quickly things can change

helenebee: don't give up

pambeesly: okay

pambeesly: I should probably go work on my art assignment

helenebee: okay, I love you

pambeesly: love you too

helenebee: and don't give up, okay?

pambeesly: I won't

December 1, 2006 9:16am

jimhalpert: so

pambeesly: ?

jimhalpert: was it a love match?

pambeesly: um well, we had a lovely elevator ride down, and a short walk to my car

pambeesly: where for some reason he danced like that irritating old guy from the 6-flags commercials

jimhalpert: :-D

pambeesly: but then we agreed to see other people

jimhalpert: aw, at least you'll always have that banjo serenade

pambeesly: yes, we will . . .

pambeesly: so, how exactly did that happen?

jimhalpert: how did what happen?

pambeesly: what series of events transpired that resulted in Andy hitting on me in pig latin?

jimhalpert: oh that!

jimhalpert: ;-)

pambeesly: :-p

jimhalpert: um, he called me

jimhalpert: and when I say called, I mean he literally called me from his desk right over there

jimhalpert: and asked if I could help him hook up with any of the office women

jimhalpert: I figured you'd be the best sport about it

pambeesly: and your "help" consisted of telling him everything that annoys me to no end?

jimhalpert: yeah, and he nearly won you over

jimhalpert: imagine what would have happened if I gave him good advice?

pambeesly: shut-up

jimhalpert: :-)

pambeesly: you're gonna pay

jimhalpert: oh really?

pambeesly: yes, really, and you're going to be completely blindsided like I was

jimhalpert: we'll see

pambeesly: yes I will see it, right here from my desk, and I'll be laughing

jimhalpert: :-p

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hey

jimhalpert: Merry Night-Before-Christmas

pambeesly: yeah, same to you

pambeesly: just got back from some last minute shopping?

jimhalpert: are you accusing me of procrastinating?

pambeesly: hey, innocent question

jimhalpert: well, fyi, I finished my shopping a while ago

jimhalpert: I however ran out of wrapping paper

pambeesly: oh no!

jimhalpert: yeah, so I went to go get some and it was slim pickins

jimhalpert: I believe my choices were obnoxious cartoon reindeers who looked like they're on something

jimhalpert: or teddy bears with santa hats and toy blocks that spelled out "Season's Greetings"

pambeesly: please tell me you got the teddy bear one

jimhalpert: I flipped a coin and ended up with the reindeers

pambeesly: aw, dang

jimhalpert: :-D

pambeesly: hey, I'm pretty sure I found the remnants of Dwight's phone on the sidewalk across the street

jimhalpert: :-)

jimhalpert: that was a pretty awesome prank, btw

jimhalpert: how did you come up with that?

pambeesly: well someone

pambeesly: and I have absolutely no idea who it possibly could have been ;-) ;-)

pambeesly: was sending Dwight faxes from his "future self"

jimhalpert: wow, Dwight was getting faxes from the future? ;-)

pambeesly: so I came up with this scenario that "Future Dwight" was in the CIA and that's how he had access to the technology to fax his "past self"

pambeesly: I didn't really have a goal for the prank when I stared it, but then Stamford closed, and I thought you would be able to come up with a good finale

jimhalpert: ah

jimhalpert: well, good work

pambeesly: thanks

pambeesly: so, you and Karen doing anything special for Christmas

jimhalpert: Karen?

pambeesly: yeah, you know, cause you're dating

jimhalpert: oh, yeah

jimhalpert: I suppose she mentioned that on Thursday

pambeesly: actually, I've known for a while now

jimhalpert: yeah sure, I mean, it's not a secret or anything

jimhalpert: anyway, she went to Connecticut, I guess her parents are there

pambeesly: oh

jimhalpert: yeah, and I'm making the treacherous 5 minutes drive to Dunmore to go to my parents' place

pambeesly: yeah, same here

pambeesly: not the Dunmore part, but the going to my parents' part

jimhalpert: oh yeah, they live a ways away, don't they?

pambeesly: 2 hours

jimhalpert: so your journey is actually kind of treacherous

pambeesly: it's fine, I'll have a flare gun with me at all times

jimhalpert: oh, well, flare gun, you're all set ;-)

pambeesly: :-)

jimhalpert: alright, I should go, these presents aren't going to wrap themselves in this paper

jimhalpert: with the strung out reindeer

pambeesly: I'm really curious to see this paper

jimhalpert: I'll frame an 8x10 bit of it and bring it to you on Tuesday

pambeesly: yay!

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: yeah?

pambeesly: I just wanted to let you know that I still use my teapot

pambeesly: I don't have a lot of counter space here, but it fits pretty perfectly by my stove

jimhalpert: cool

jimhalpert: you took everything out of it before you started using it, right?

pambeesly: well, for a while my tea tasted like pencils and hot sauce ;-)

pambeesly: but then I figured it out

jimhalpert: :-) good

jimhalpert: alright, leaving for real this time

pambeesly: okay

jimhalpert: Merry Christmas Pam

pambeesly: Merry Christmas Jim

pambeesly: Mr. Harrison from the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Davis from the YMCA and Mrs. Giletti from the Scranton Breast Cancer Society all want you to call them.

jimhalpert: okay, thanks

pambeesly: sorry, there were a million messages and I figured it was easier to type all of yours out

jimhalpert: no, it's fine, very efficient of you ;-)

jimhalpert: I have to say out of all the awful Michael Scott parties I've attended

jimhalpert: that one took the cake for "most awful"

pambeesly: yeah, there are very few ways to make inventory fun, and that was definitely not one of them

jimhalpert: you went missing for about half an hour there

pambeesly: oh yeah, I had to run to the store real quick

jimhalpert: ah

pambeesly: so, is Karen all squared away with the apartment?

jimhalpert: yeah, she's going over there after work to sign the paper work

jimhalpert: and I guess I'm helping her move in this weekend

pambeesly: ah, well, stay warm

jimhalpert: thanks

jimhalpert: sorry about all that

pambeesly: about all what?

jimhalpert: bothering you with the apartment stuff

pambeesly: I wasn't bothered

pambeesly: everyone has disagreements from time to time

jimhalpert: it just feels so, I don't know, trivial

pambeesly: yeah, but you usually don't realize how trivial it is when you're in it

jimhalpert: this is true

pambeesly: Roy and I once had a fight about how to load the dishwasher

jimhalpert: really

pambeesly: yeah, I can't even remember exactly what, but he was doing something that was driving me crazy

pambeesly: it was so ridiculous, and whenever we got into a petty fight after that he would mutter "dishwasher"

jimhalpert: Beesly the Dishwasher Nazi

pambeesly: :-p

pambeesly: oh my god, 13 people have forwarded the "Sun Princess" picture to me

jimhalpert: the one of Urkel Gru?

pambeesly: wait . . . 14 now

jimhalpert: hmm, let's see how many times I've gotten it

jimhalpert: ah, only 8

jimhalpert: oh wait, there's another 10 in my spam folder

pambeesly: dang, I need 4 more to catch up

jimhalpert: we should have an office wide pool to see who gets the most forwards of Jamaican Jan

pambeesly: oh my god, you just missed it!

jimhalpert: I was about to ask what the hell happened in the 30 minutes I was gone

pambeesly: Dwight quit because he wouldn't tell Michael the reason he was late this morning

jimhalpert: he quit?

pambeesly: yeah, I know

jimhalpert: man, I've been willing him to quit for 6 years, and he finally does it the half hour I was out of the office

jimhalpert: some bizarre version of Murphy's law, I guess

pambeesly: how was coffee?

jimhalpert: it was okay

pambeesly: Phyllis and Karen went to renew the Becker account today

jimhalpert: ah

pambeesly: thus the hair and makeup

pambeesly: you probably already knew that

jimhalpert: I was actually too afraid to ask

jimhalpert: but I figured it was something like that

jimhalpert: or maybe I was just hoping that wasn't going to be her new look

pambeesly: hey I've pulled up a photo of my watercolor

jimhalpert: oh yeah, what was it of?

pambeesly: it's of Francis Willard elementary school, they're having a big anniversary this year and I guess they're going to use my painting for various things

jimhalpert: cool

pambeesly: like calendars and posters and stuff

pambeesly: I can print it out so you can see it, or you can just come look at it on my screen

jimhalpert: actually, could you email it to me?

jimhalpert: that way I'll have it

pambeesly: oh, okay

jimhalpert: thanks

pambeesly: hey, you okay?

jimhalpert: yeah, why?

pambeesly: just curious

jimhalpert: it's just been a long day

pambeesly: yeah, I bet

pambeesly: okay, the email it on it's way

jimhalpert: great

jimhalpert: it's really awesome that you won that, I'm really happy for you

pambeesly: thanks

jimhalpert: now you're gonna get famous, just watch

pambeesly: yeah right

jimhalpert: could happen, you never know

pambeesly: maybe :-)

January 24 2007, 1:34pm

jimhalpert: did you get the number?

pambeesly: yeah, he's listed himself in his own contacts list

pambeesly: under "Andrew B" :-/

jimhalpert: not surprising

jimhalpert: and you turned up the volume?

pambeesly: yup

jimhalpert: excellent

pambeesly: have you ever pranked Andy before?

jimhalpert: once back in Stamford

jimhalpert: I put his calculator in jello

pambeesly: :-)

pambeesly: how did he take it?

jimhalpert: um, he yelled and kicked a trashcan

pambeesly: oh

pambeesly: eek

jimhalpert: I think he was just stressed out that day, don't worry

pambeesly: okay

jimhalpert: okay, I'm going to stand up kind of slowly

jimhalpert: you follow me, hand me the phone

jimhalpert: I'll go in the kitchen, and you stand at the door and  . . . distract

pambeesly: what are you talking about, I'm just going to get a cup of water

pambeesly: ;-)

jimhalpert: there you go :-)

jimhalpert: and then you call the number in about 5 minutes

jimhalpert: do you understand and accept your mission?

pambeesly: yes and yes

jimhalpert: good

jimhalpert: alright, he looks pretty engrossed right now, so look out for your cue

pambeesly: roger that

jimhalpert: I'm looking forward to working with you again, Beesly

pambeesly: me too, Halpert :-)

jimhalpert: about the dating ben franklin thing

pambeesly: yeah, I know

jimhalpert: you just seemed upset

pambeesly: no, I wasn't

pambeesly: it's just been a really weird day

jimhalpert: yeah, tell me about it

jimhalpert: sorry I kind of blew you off in the break room this morning

pambeesly: that's okay, I understand why

jimhalpert: what do you mean?

pambeesly: oh, well, Karen talked to me

jimhalpert: she did?

pambeesly: yeah

jimhalpert: what did she say?

pambeesly: just that I guess you two talked about some stuff from before you went to Stamford

jimhalpert: oh

jimhalpert: wow, I didn't think she would talk to you about that

pambeesly: no, no, it's okay

pambeesly: I'm sure it's awkward for her

jimhalpert: I'm sorry

jimhalpert: I thought all that was going to stay between her and me, you know?

pambeesly: it's okay, really

pambeesly: and I understand that you probably want to cool it on the pranks and stuff

pambeesly: if they make her uncomfortable

jimhalpert: I really don't know what to say

pambeesly: uh oh, corporate is calling, they must've heard about the concurring parties

pambeesly: I was wondering what was taking so long

pambeesly: should probably log off, gotta make up for the time I spent at Phyllis' "shower"

sweetlarissa: hey

jimhalpert: hey kiddo

jimhalpert: how's the west coast?

sweetlarissa: let me tell you, Jim

sweetlarissa: Southern Cali is just the cure for Pennsy winter blues

jimhalpert: yeah, I'd take a vacation right now

sweetlarissa: so, what up?

jimhalpert: just resting

sweetlarissa: oh yeah, you had that wedding yesterday didn't you?

jimhalpert: yeah, Phyllis officially became Mrs. Vance Refrigeration

jimhalpert: paper and fridges became one, it was glorious

sweetlarissa: lol :-)

sweetlarissa: so...

jimhalpert: ...yeah?

sweetlarissa: weddings, music, cake, people dressed up

sweetlarissa: makes for romance ;-) :-*

jimhalpert: yeah, Karen and I had a pretty good time

jimhalpert: she got on stage and sang, she's pretty good

sweetlarissa: and Pam . . . .?

jimhalpert: what about Pam?

sweetlarissa: did you ask her to dance or anything?

jimhalpert: she left early with Roy

sweetlarissa: WHAT?!!

sweetlarissa: that's not funny Jim!

jimhalpert: yeah, I'm not laughing

sweetlarissa: are you kidding me?!

sweetlarissa: why?!

jimhalpert: I don't know

jimhalpert: probably the same reason she stayed with him for 9 years the first time

sweetlarissa: this doesn't make any sense

sweetlarissa: you need to talk to her

jimhalpert: why do I need to talk to her?

sweetlarissa: I don't know

jimhalpert: she's got him now

sweetlarissa: because you keep ignoring her

jimhalpert: no I'm not

sweetlarissa: yes, you are!

jimhalpert: if she had any interest in me

jimhalpert: don't you think she would have said something by now?

sweetlarissa: yeah, because it didn't take you 3 years to say something

jimhalpert: I should probably start getting ready for bed

sweetlarissa: and now you're mad at me

jimhalpert: no I'm not, it's past 11 here

jimhalpert: and I should go to bed

jimhalpert: I'll see you when you get back

sweetlarissa: please talk to her?

jimhalpert: have fun on the rest of your trip

sweetlarissa: please pretend you'll think about talking to her?

jimhalpert: good night, Larissa

sweetlarissa: night Jim

helenebee: hey honey

pambeesly: hey mom

helenebee: I am so sorry we couldn't make it to your show yesterday

helenebee: your father got so sick all of a sudden

pambeesly: it's really okay, you needed to take care of him

helenebee: next time, I promise

pambeesly: yeah, definitely

helenebee: so how did it go?

pambeesly: fine, it was a good experience

pambeesly: Michael actually bought one of my pieces

helenebee: wow, that's great!

pambeesly: sort of, I mean it was a painting of the building Dunder Mifflin is in

pambeesly: I could have drawn it with crayons and he would have loved it probably

helenebee: don't sell yourself short, honey

helenebee: I bet it was a great painting

helenebee: so who else came?

pambeesly: um, Roy came with Kenny

pambeesly: and Oscar from work came with his boyfriend

pambeesly: and that was about it

helenebee: oh, well, that's nice

pambeesly: I think everyone just had plans, I kind of waited until the last minute to announce it

helenebee: Jim didn't come?

pambeesly: well, a lot of people didn't come, it wasn't a big deal

helenebee: he's always been so enthusiastic about your art, though

pambeesly: it's okay, I didn't really expect him to come

helenebee: but he's your friend

pambeesly: yeah, I guess, I don't know

pambeesly: we haven't really talked since Phyllis' wedding

helenebee: he hasn't talked to you or you haven't talked to him?

pambeesly: um, both, I suppose

pambeesly: he's probably trying to make some statement about Roy, Jim never liked him

helenebee: and what statement are you trying to make?

pambeesly: what do you mean?

helenebee: well, you just said you haven't talked to him either, are you trying to make a statement?

pambeesly: no

helenebee: are you sure?

pambeesly: yes, I'm sure, we just haven't talked

pambeesly: I need to go, Roy and I are going to a movie tonight

helenebee: Roy's taking you to a movie?

pambeesly: yeah, one I actually want to see too

helenebee: wow, he really has changed

pambeesly: he really has, Mom, things are so much better than they were before

helenebee: well, I just want you to be happy

pambeesly: I know

pambeesly: okay, going now, I love you Mom

helenebee: love you too, sweetie

February 24, 2007 1:13pm

sweetlarissa: hey

jimhalpert: hey

sweetlarissa: how was the hob-knobbing last night?

sweetlarissa: am I using that right? hob-knob?

jimhalpert: um I'm not sure, I've loaned out my "Slang from the 1940's" dictionary

sweetlarissa: :-P

jimhalpert: and it was actually kind of fun

jimhalpert: only because as it turned out the CFO was as bored as I was and asked me to play some hoops with him

sweetlarissa: wow, shooting hoops with the big boss ;-)

jimhalpert: yeah, he's actually pretty cool

jimhalpert: plus Karen was in her element, it was something

sweetlarissa: really?

jimhalpert: yeah, I didn't know she'd be that into socializing with the upper management

sweetlarissa: networking, smart girl ;-)

jimhalpert: she also played this ridiculous prank on me

sweetlarissa: oh yeah?

jimhalpert: yeah, she pointed out like 3 guys at the party and told me she dated them

jimhalpert: and when she got around to claiming she hooked up with the CFO I asked want the hell was up

jimhalpert: but she was just joking the whole time, she got me pretty good

sweetlarissa: huh

jimhalpert: you probably had to be there

sweetlarissa: yeah, I guess

jimhalpert: what?

sweetlarissa: I don't know, doesn't it kinda bother you that you so easily believed Karen dated half the company?

jimhalpert: I guess I didn't have any reason not to believe her

jimhalpert: plus I thought it was all before we started dating so it didn't matter to me

sweetlarissa: oh yeah, of course, because you know first hand that past relationships never have any bearing on present relationships

jimhalpert: are you being sarcastic?

jimhalpert: you know tone is very hard to convey via IM

sweetlarissa: are you avoiding the topic? because it seems like you are

jimhalpert: and what exactly is the topic?

sweetlarissa: Karen really likes you

sweetlarissa: and while I can tell you like the attention, you've really just been along for the ride

jimhalpert: okay, thanks for pointing that out

jimhalpert: though I'm not sure how you know this, seeing as you've been around Karen, what, twice?

sweetlarissa: yeah, that's true . . .

sweetlarissa: hey, I forget, how many times have I been around Pam?

jimhalpert: oh jesus, please please please do not bring that up

sweetlarissa: sorry, the correct answer is zero

jimhalpert: okay, I get it

sweetlarissa: to be fair it's not just the Karen and She-who-must-not-be-named situation

jimhalpert: Voldemort has a sister?

sweetlarissa: you're acting different, and have been for a while

jimhalpert: um, alright

sweetlarissa: I'm serious, Jim, sometimes you're almost like a different person from before you went to Stamford

jimhalpert: you mean when I was still a junior-level salesman after 5 years, making half as much money, driving a used magenta Corolla, and having practically no personal life because I was desperately infatuated with an engaged woman?

sweetlarissa: well, when you phrase it like that, of course it's not gonna sound great

jimhalpert: I think the word you're looking for is "pathetic"

jimhalpert: and maybe I don't want to be that guy anymore

sweetlarissa: fair enough

sweetlarissa: but I kinda miss that so called "pathetic" guy

sweetlarissa: he smiled a lot more

sweetlarissa: now, I don't know, sometimes you act like you're in a haze

jimhalpert: okay, look, you're not wrong about Karen

jimhalpert: I could stand to put a little more effort in to that

jimhalpert: any more unsolicited relationship advice before I head out?

sweetlarissa: none that doesn't involve me saying that one name I can't say

jimhalpert: the one with the tongue clicking?

sweetlarissa: yeah, that's right, keep being a smartass

sweetlarissa: makes my finger start hovering around the "P" area of my keyboard

jimhalpert: okay, okay, shutting up now

jimhalpert: gotta go, I'll talk to you later

jimhalpert: have a good weekend

sweetlarissa: you too

March 5 2007

7:23pm

helenebee: hey

pambeesly: hey mom

helenebee: so, how was your day?

pambeesly: um, horribly awkward I think would be the nicest thing I could say

helenebee: oh honey

pambeesly: I mean, no one was ragging on me or anything

pambeesly: if they were they were nice enough to not do it to my face

helenebee: do I dare ask how Jim was?

pambeesly: I don't know, he was pretty quiet all day

pambeesly: I tried to talk to him, said it was dumb to get back with Roy

pambeesly: he just shrugged and said something about how Roy and I will probably end up together again

pambeesly: I don't think he wants to have anything to do with me anymore

helenebee: oh Pam

pambeesly: and I mean, I can't blame him really

helenebee: it's still fresh on his mind, you know?

helenebee: and it happened in front of your coworkers and Karen

helenebee: and I'm sure he just doesn't know how to act right now

pambeesly: I tried to apologize

pambeesly: he just . . . walked away

helenebee: he's going to come around, he always has

pambeesly: I don't know

pambeesly: it feels like whenever I try with him, I just mess things up more

pambeesly: and maybe I need to stop

helenebee: that isn't true

helenebee: remember how he accepted your Christmas gift?

pambeesly: after he turned it down

helenebee: and how excited he was when you told him you won that contest?

helenebee: and the day when you two pulled a prank on that guy?

pambeesly: Andy

helenebee: yes, Andy

helenebee: he cares about you, Pam

helenebee: he might be upset over this whole Roy thing, but you know what, he wouldn't *be* upset if he didn't care about you

pambeesly: yeah, I guess

pambeesly: I had coffee with Roy, you know, just to have some closure

pambeesly: it was funny, he actually encouraged me to go after Jim

helenebee: really?

pambeesly: I mean, not like how he went after Jim, I mean like, dating him I guess

helenebee: I know ;-)

pambeesly: but I told him Jim has a girlfriend, and Roy just said he didn't get me

helenebee: well, honey, I never ever thought I would say this

helenebee: but I agree with Roy

pambeesly: you're kidding, right?

helenebee: no, I'm not

helenebee: I mean, right now you should probably focus on actually talking to him on a semi-regular basis again

helenebee: but eventually, yeah

pambeesly: but he's with Karen

helenebee: you were a month away from getting married

pambeesly: huh

helenebee: at the very least you should work on being friends again

pambeesly: yeah, I agree

pambeesly: well, I should go if I have any hope of finishing this art project

helenebee: okay, do your best

pambeesly: I will

pambeesly: and thanks

helenebee: for what?

pambeesly: for everything, I guess

helenebee: you're welcome :-)

8:23pm

sweetlarissa: hey

jimhalpert: hey

sweetlarissa: so was it completely awkward?

jimhalpert: oh no, not at all

jimhalpert: in fact at the end of the day we all held hands around a campfire and sang "kum-bay-ya"

sweetlarissa: :-p

jimhalpert: honestly, no, it's actually wasn't that awkward

jimhalpert: I mean today was weird, but it had much more to do with Michael and Dwight and much less to do with Roy

sweetlarissa: in other words, you're grateful to work with a bunch of nuts cuz it makes your problems seem normal?

jimhalpert: yeah, that's pretty much it

sweetlarissa: well, I have to ask something and you're gonna hate me

jimhalpert: nah, I've been expecting it all day . . .

sweetlarissa: did you talk to Pam?

sweetlarissa: or vice-versa?

jimhalpert: we did, briefly

sweetlarissa: ???

jimhalpert: she said she was sorry about Roy, and I said okay

sweetlarissa: and . . . ?

jimhalpert: and that was pretty much it

sweetlarissa: ok, maybe Karen will buy your Reader's Digest versions of things

jimhalpert: here we go . . .

sweetlarissa: but I don't, so spill it

jimhalpert: okay, fine

jimhalpert: but can I request you keep the judging to a minimum?

sweetlarissa: yes you can ;-)

jimhalpert: God, you're just like Mom . . .

sweetlarissa: :-p

jimhalpert: so she was in the break room alone

jimhalpert: and honestly I wanted to turn and walk away, but I went in anyways

jimhalpert: and she kind of jokingly said she's sorry she almost got me killed, and I said it was pretty crazy

jimhalpert: then she said it was stupid to get back with Roy

jimhalpert: I said that I understood they had a strong connection

sweetlarissa: which isn't true, btw

jimhalpert: then she said it was completely over with him

jimhalpert: and I said I'm sure they'll find a way back to each other

sweetlarissa: JIM!

jimhalpert: hey, it's not like I planned to say that, it just came out

jimhalpert: and I think this little affair proves it's not exactly outside the realm of possibility

sweetlarissa: I think it is, but whatever, then what happened

jimhalpert: well, I was about to leave when she said my name

jimhalpert: and she said "I am really sorry" and I told her not to worry about it, and then I went back to my desk

jimhalpert: and that's it, honestly

jimhalpert: so go ahead and tell me what I did wrong

sweetlarissa: well, the "find a way back to Roy" comment was a bit uncalled for

sweetlarissa: but you claim it wasn't premeditated, so I'll excuse you

jimhalpert: and what else?

sweetlarissa: that's all

jimhalpert: wow, who are you and what have you done with Larissa?

jimhalpert: not that I'm complaining . . .

sweetlarissa: I just have one question

jimhalpert: ah, there you are ;-)

sweetlarissa: yeah yeah, but really, I want you to think about this question

sweetlarissa: what do you expect from Pam?

jimhalpert: um, I don't really expect anything from Pam

sweetlarissa: then why do you sound so disappointed when you describe any encounters you've had with her

sweetlarissa: like she didn't say what you wanted to hear

jimhalpert: okay, I'm lost . . .

sweetlarissa: well, I've never met the girl but from the hours upon hours I've spent hearing about her

jimhalpert: I haven't talked about her that much . . .

sweetlarissa: I have determined she's shy, she gets flustered when she's confronted, and she's a bit fearful

jimhalpert: not gonna argue with that

sweetlarissa: she's not brave, Jim

sweetlarissa: she's not gonna do what you did last May

jimhalpert: obviously

sweetlarissa: I'm just saying that if you expect her to say or do a certain thing to express how she feels about you

sweetlarissa: you might miss it when she actually does express how she feels about you

jimhalpert: "when", huh?

sweetlarissa: yes, "when", and I hope you'll be ready ;-)

jimhalpert: okay, Dr. Halpert, we getting to the end of our session now, aren't we?

sweetlarissa: yes, I think so, that will be $200

jimhalpert: ouch, can I put it on my tab?

sweetlarissa: I thought they only had tabs at bars, but sure

sweetlarissa: just to warn you it's getting kind of large, and I might have to call it in soon ;-)

jimhalpert: psychologists call in tabs?

sweetlarissa: I think we're getting our metaphors all mixed up

jimhalpert: yeah, I could use a drink, though . . .

sweetlarissa: well, I think surviving an attack from a warehouse worker gone wild entitles you to a drink on me

sweetlarissa: like tomorrow

sweetlarissa: what do you say?

jimhalpert: I'm pretty sure it's a misdemeanor in Scranton to say no to free booze

sweetlarissa: :-D

pambeesly: wow

pambeesly: crazy day, huh?

jimhalpert: actually, considering the amount of time we have known Michael Scott

jimhalpert: and all the completely idiotic things we've witnessed him do

jimhalpert: I'm kind of surprised he hasn't killed himself yet

pambeesly: ha :-)

jimhalpert: how did you weasel out of the gift thing?

pambeesly: I told him it's at home

pambeesly: and I'll bring it tomorrow

pambeesly: and I'm going to conveniently space out bringing it until he hopefully forgets about it

jimhalpert: good call

jimhalpert: sooo, the betting games were kind of fun

pambeesly: yeah, you cleaned up

jimhalpert: yeah, which makes me both happy since I won some cash

jimhalpert: as well as disturbed by how well I know this place

pambeesly: Karen sure seems competitive

jimhalpert: you don't know the half of it

pambeesly: really?

jimhalpert: well back in Stamford she would basically murder me at this online video game we'd play at the office

pambeesly: you guys played video games?

jimhalpert: under the guise of "team building"

pambeesly: ah, I see

jimhalpert: but yeah, she loves competition

pambeesly: cool

jimhalpert: yeah, sort of

pambeesly: sort of?

jimhalpert: I mean when it's all it good fun, its okay

jimhalpert: but sometimes it feels like she just wants to one-up everyone

pambeesly: oh

jimhalpert: I don't know

pambeesly: oh look, corporate is calling

jimhalpert: shocking

pambeesly: I bet they'll make Michael attend some counseling sessions

jimhalpert: nah, they'll know he was just being stupid

jimhalpert: and make him go through safety training again

jimhalpert: like in a weekend session so he can't drag anyone along

pambeesly: care to wager $5 on that?

jimhalpert: you're on, Beesly

April 19 2007, 2:13pm

pambeesly: how'd it go?

jimhalpert: um, it took a few free reams to convince them, but Dunmore High School is still a client of Dunder Mifflin

pambeesly: well done

jimhalpert: and bonus, Andy's girlfriend was there

pambeesly: someone crazy enough to date Andy, huh?

pambeesly: I hate to say I'd expect more from a teacher

jimhalpert: not a teacher

pambeesly: counselor?

jimhalpert: nope

pambeesly: lunch lady?

jimhalpert: no dice

pambeesly: oh!

jimhalpert: yup

pambeesly: oh my god!

jimhalpert: to his defense, though, he claims had no idea that she was a high school student when he met her working at the frozen yogurt stand in the mall

jimhalpert: nor when he drove her to take her SATs

pambeesly: are you serious?

jimhalpert: well, not about the SATs, but the frozen yogurt part is real

pambeesly: wow

jimhalpert: so how did the press conference go?

pambeesly: oh, about how you would imagine it would go

jimhalpert: well, if Samuel L. Chang was there, there more than likely was a screw up of some sort

jimhalpert: wow, a snort :-D

pambeesly: I was lucky I didn't lose it when he said "Threat Level Midnight" in the conference this morning

jimhalpert: yeah me too

pambeesly: I'll never forget that day, finding that script under his many joke books

pambeesly: with the one "Dwigt" :-)

jimhalpert: yeah, that was an interesting day

jimhalpert: okay, I think I've put off returning these messages as long as I could

pambeesly: yeah, good luck with that

jimhalpert: I actually have a system going where I'm calling back the people who cussed the most in their messages first

jimhalpert: hopefully by the end of the day I'll just be dealing with mildly irritated customers

pambeesly: sounds like a plan :-)

pambeesly: speaking of, here's an angry customer now

pambeesly: wow, this guy just used the phrase "Godless heathens"

jimhalpert: better tell Angela one of her relatives is calling

pambeesly: :-)

May 4 2007, 9:13am

kfilippelli: what is Dwight going on about in the conference room?

jimhalpert: he's in the conference room?

kfilippelli: uh, yeah, he's been yelling for the last 5 minutes

jimhalpert: must've had a bad beet this morning

kfilippelli: :-)

kfilippelli: so where do you want to go?

jimhalpert: uh, do you mean like this weekend?

kfilippelli: we keep talking about a trip, and summer's coming up quickly

jimhalpert: oh, um, the Poconos maybe

kfilippelli: let's shoot for a place that it takes more than an hour to get to

kfilippelli: I was thinking New York

jimhalpert: okay

kfilippelli: or maybe Boston

kfilippelli: or you know what, my parents go to my uncle's place on Long Island Sound every 4th of July

kfilippelli: that might be fun

jimhalpert: maybe, they all sound like good ideas

kfilippelli: oh, hey, the yelling finally stopped

---

pambeesly signed in at 9:18am

jimhalpert: wow, what was that about?

pambeesly: um, Dwight got a tip about the sex predator

jimhalpert: ah, an interrogation

pambeesly: yeah, I don't think I've ever seen him so angry

jimhalpert: and you had to fight the urge to laugh the whole time, didn't you?

pambeesly: pretty much

jimhalpert: yeah, I have that problem too

jimhalpert: hey

pambeesly: yeah?

jimhalpert: nice work on that poster ;-)

pambeesly: thanks :-)

---

kfilippelli: so we really should make a decision in the next couple weeks

kfilippelli: and make reservations

jimhalpert: yeah, definitely

kfilippelli: do you have any other suggestions

kfilippelli: remember, more than an hour away ;-)

jimhalpert: Philadelphia?

kfilippelli: oh, what am I gonna do with you, Halpert?

May 14, 2007 10:34am

pambeesly: hey

jimhalpert: hi

pambeesly: corporate just called to confirm everyone's interview times this Thursday

pambeesly: Michael's is at 10:30, Karen's is at 11:15 and yours is at 12:45

jimhalpert: oh, okay

pambeesly: and they're going to fax some forms for everyone to fill out by the end of the day

jimhalpert: okay

jimhalpert: sorry I didn't tell you about that

pambeesly: about the interview?

jimhalpert: yeah, I mean, that I didn't tell you personally

pambeesly: don't be sorry

pambeesly: it's a really great opportunity

jimhalpert: yeah, it is

jimhalpert: so, I never asked what it was like

pambeesly: what what was like?

jimhalpert: doing the coal walk

pambeesly: oh

pambeesly: um, I don't know

pambeesly: I think the point is it's mostly mental

jimhalpert: yeah

pambeesly: like I was scared, and all I could think about was about how much it would hurt

pambeesly: but once I did it, I kind of wondered what I was so scared of, you know?

jimhalpert: yeah, I think I do

pambeesly: plus it helped that I didn't crawl through it like Dwight did

jimhalpert: ah, Dwight

jimhalpert: he's . . . dedicated, that's for sure

pambeesly: that's a way of putting it ;-)

jimhalpert: :-)

pambeesly: call coming your way

jimhalpert: gah, who dare calls me at work!?

pambeesly: :-D well, I better let you get to it

jimhalpert: alright then, later

pambeesly: later

May 17, 2007 4:42pm

jimhalpert: what are you giggling about back there?

pambeesly: oh, you know good and well what I'm giggling about

jimhalpert: no, actually I don't

pambeesly: take a wild guess

jimhalpert: you have a wild lemur trying to crawl down your shirt?

pambeesly: um, no

jimhalpert: shoot, I could have sworn it was a lemur laugh

pambeesly: :-)

jimhalpert: um

jimhalpert: you're watching some web video about pandas?

pambeesly: wow, so close, but not really close at all

jimhalpert: :-p

pambeesly: care to entertain more guesses?

jimhalpert: I just haven't a clue, Beesly

jimhalpert: you really need to get yourself together back there

pambeesly: sorry, sorry ;-)

pambeesly: so is this

jimhalpert: yeah?

pambeesly: when you said "date" you meant *date* right?

pambeesly: not like just a friendly date

pambeesly: I mean, it's okay if it's just a friendly date

jimhalpert: well, let's look at the circumstances, shall we?

pambeesly: okay

jimhalpert: I just sped all the way back from New York

jimhalpert: and sprinted into the building

pambeesly: you sprinted?

jimhalpert: well, briskly walked

jimhalpert: this is a new suit, you know ;-)

pambeesly: I see, it's nice

jimhalpert: anyway, I briskly walked in, had a slight panic attack when I saw you weren't at reception

jimhalpert: but then I heard you in the conference room and proceeded to barge in in the middle of your interview

jimhalpert: so, now I ask you

jimhalpert: what kind of date do you think it is?

jimhalpert: Miss Giggly

pambeesly: I'm sorry, I'm just nervous

pambeesly: and excited too

jimhalpert: well you're making me nervous

pambeesly: oh, c'mon, you have nothing to be nervous about

pambeesly: it's just me

jimhalpert: . . .and that's why I'm nervous

jimhalpert: okay, I need to find you some Ritalin or something

jimhalpert: because you're out of control

pambeesly: :-D

sweetlarissa: hey, back from New York already?

jimhalpert: hey, yeah, I’m back

jimhalpert: actually can’t talk long, just checkin email

sweetlarissa: how’d it go?

jimhalpert: the interview went pretty well

sweetlarissa: so my big bro’s heading to the city, eh?

jimhalpert: actually, no

sweetlarissa: but you said the interview went well?

jimhalpert: it did, but then I told the CFO not to give it to me

sweetlarissa: oooookay

sweetlarissa: am I gonna get details or will I just have to try to derive an explanation from all these vague answers?

jimhalpert: I’ll tell you all about it soon, but I gotta go get ready for dinner

sweetlarissa: c’mon, give me something

jimhalpert: I just realized it wasn’t what I wanted

sweetlarissa: alright, I’ll accept that for now, since you apparently have some sort of hot date

jimhalpert: actually, I do

sweetlarissa: with who, Mark? ;-)

jimhalpert: with Pam

sweetlarissa: WHAT?!

jimhalpert: :-)

sweetlarissa: really?

jimhalpert: really really

sweetlarissa: when?! how?!

sweetlarissa: okay, fine

sweetlarissa: but I expect you to log on the second you get home and give me the full story, young man!
