Really glad to see this updated. Such a wonderful story and this chapter was definintely worth the wait.

Great Chapter. But why are Pam and Roy still engaged? I thought that when she moved back in with her parents that she had ended it.

Author's Response:

So sorry to be confusing.  I guess I hadn't made it clear enough.  Pam was only at her parents for Christmas and after Jim shot her down she decided to keep being engaged to Roy although that clearly isn't where her heart is. :)

Three chapters left, and I promise I'll try to be less complicated. hehe 

Summary: Jim must deal with a family crisis.  Pam helps him to get through it.

Great chapter. I am so glad that everything is out in the open now. I think I had been yelling at them for awhile just to tell each other. Whew. I really loved the chapter. Can't believe Mrs. Halpert interrupted. She has impeccable timing.

Author's Response:

Don't parents always have that impeccable timing?  My parents used to call me at the MOST INOPPORTUNE times!

I know it seems like the kids have been stupid with each other forever but, really, it's only been about three story days.  (Analogous to dog years?)

Summary: What if Pam had taken that Dunder Mifflin internship during Season 3? What would Jim think? An AU season 3 fic that deals with a side of Pam that we didn't get to see

"She's going to prove to everyone that she's not this fragile little flower that's waiting on Jim Halpert to ride up on his white horse and rescue her."

That was amazing ending to an amazing story. Loved that you still sent Jim to Stamford. You had me hooked since the beginning and I'm glad you gave me 30 chapters of greatness.

Good start. Looking forward to more. You did a really good job of keeping them in character. Can't wait to see how Pam finds out about Jim being engaged.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! I think you are a great writer so that really means a lot coming from you!

I liked that it all seemed very casual and Jim didn't spend half of the chapter thinking about how he was going to propose. Good job.

Author's Response: THANK YOU! I 100% agree with you.

So I'm a total AU freak and I already love this. I'm really eager to see how things work out between the two of them when their careers are what they always wanted them to be. Good job, don't make me wait too long for an update.

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m really glad you enjoyed this. I\'m a big fan of AU myself, so I\'m just as excited to write this as you probably are to read it! Thanks again!

I love that Pam admitted to Jim that his love life is kind of important to her. Yes! Can't wait for the date.

Author's Response: Thank you! There can only be more admissions from here, so stay tuned! ;)

Reviewer: italianfood Signed 10
Date: June 29, 2008 Title: Chapter 3: Workdays

I loved this chapter. Way to go Pam for taking charge of her life. I guess it only makes sense though, because this is like Pam 2.0 from the beginning with her career. So it only makes sense that she would be so in charge of her feelings for Roy and Jim.

Author's Response: Thank you! I couldn\'t have put that better myself. I\'m glad you like the angle I\'m taking with her, with her being \"Pam 2.0\" with her job, but still being herself in her private life. Whether her reflections are put into action though, we\'ll just wait and see. ;) Thanks again for the review!!

Oh Angela, how I love thee. Seriously though, I love your Angela.

the one winter it didn't snow for Christmas and her father let her sprinkle mashed potato flakes around the yard

Loved that. Just one of those rare glances of a real, not made of steel Angela. Oh, and happy birthday!

Author's Response: Thank you. :) I know that this side of Angela is hiding in there. Deep, deep down. But it\'s there, and I love writing it.

Summary: "A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul: a sick body is a prison." -Francis Bacon

Jim has been sick for most of his life. When he takes a turn for the worse he never expected Pam to be there with him the whole time.

Sally, loved this! Pam is blending into their family beautifully. And I might be in the minority for saying I'm glad you did this chapter before the smut, but I really am. Also, you've inspired me to finish my half complete chapter.

Sally! Love this. I can't get enough of Ellie. Absolutely adore that she went to Pam. P.S. totally thought of a new story idea. Jim is Carrie Bradshaw... the male version. He writes a column for a newspaper. This is what I do at work instead of my paperwork. oops. Seriously though, so happy to see you continue this.

Author's Response: Wooohooo. Glad you enjoyed this.I'm sorry it took so long to get posted :) And GREAT IDEA, would he also share her obsession with awesome shoes?
