Bio:
I love The Office and reading everyone's wonderful stories. I'm not normally a writer (I'm usually that girl who's clearly on photoshop too much because she posts icons all the time), but if something won't leave my head it's nice to know that I can put it here.

This story is amazingly detailed, and you're doing such a great job keeping everything so realistic. I mean, WOW. Loved this chapter, and looking forward to more.

Sorry about your face! (...never thought I'd write THAT in a review...)

Author's Response:

Thanks so much!  I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter ... I sure made y'all wait long enough for it!

And Sorry about your face! (...never thought I'd write THAT in a review...) is just too funny.  Almost made me laugh, there.  Laughing is BAD, BAD, BAD today.  Moving my face makes it itchy.  So no more being amusing!  Just kidding.

Loved this chapter! One of my favorite lines:
"Yeah, that would be great. He’d be sure to wake up feeling well-rested after a night of trying to ignore Pam and think about Dwight for six or seven hours."

Author's Response: Thanks very much!  I kinda liked that stressful image myself!  Glad you're enjoying the story.
