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
