Set the same day as the episode

Today we find out: Jim's methods for dealing with the angry customers.

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: :-)

 

Chapter End Notes:

Okay, here is my lengthy explanation for this chapter: They may be talking again, but it is on IM and Jim is keeping the conversation strictly work related. He brings up the incident with Andy's girlfriend simply because he can't help himself and also because part of him knows Pam will respond better to it than Karen (since her sense of humor is darker and a little more cynical). Pam's response does makes him a little more comfortable and then he slips and mentions Samuel L Chang. He didn't mean to, but he brought up a day that was fun and special for both of them and to his horror Pam picks up on it right away. Then he immediately steers back to the "safe" topic of the paper, as well as starts his exit from the conversation. You can think of this as a "slip" that make him avoid Pam and throw himself at Karen even more.

Also we are nearing the end of our emoticon journey, so what will become of EiE in Season 4? I kind of like the idea of updating as the season goes on, but this was also a great way to keep busy during the summer hiatus. Hmmm.
