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
