Typical slow days at the office with the Ladies of Dunder Mifflin.
Wow...just wow. Just when I didn't think I could love this story any more than I already did. Seriously though, I can't get to my computer quickly enough in the mornings to see the next installment.

You write the nicest reviews! My sister Deborah wishes to reply on my behalf:
"Muggins" (not her real name) is not writing any of this. She's actually stolen all of it from old episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore show. She just changed the names and added 'That's What She Said!'
This is Muggins again. My sisters an idiot. I steal everything from old episodes of The Brady Bunch. Isn't it obvious?
Pam's discovered the world of internet chat rooms. Jim can't resist the chance to be near her in cyberspace. Spoilers up to Cocktails. Okay, another great chapter as usual, but I'm hoping Pam has an inkling that it is Jim. Otherwise, the attempt to initiate cyber sex is giving me traumatic flashbacks to my freshman roommate and the parade of creepy guys she hooked up with online. I'm a little worried about how deep Jim is getting into all this, but I'm excited to see what happens next.
I caved and wrote a post-Cocktail fic that can be best described by Jim's Talking Head from Season 2 Ep 6:
Fight! Fight! Fight! FIGHT!
Just have to say that I almost did a spit take on my computer screen when I saw the sentence "Whatever happened to good old fashioned repressing?" I can totally see Angela saying that. Great story!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked that line! Angela is so fun to write.
Jim and Pam are good buddies. Jim helps her with her two problems: work and Roy. But what if she didn't have those problems? What would happen if they didn't have Dunder Mifflin in common?
A/U story. Basically, fluff, friendship and...romance? Spoilers for all seasons (sort of).
Aww, I love Sasha and Jim. I wish I'd had a babysitter like him when I was little. Actually, forget when I was little. He can be my babysitter anytime. Oh, not to be picky, but I think you might have meant rapport instead of repertoire. I'm excited to see what happens next!
Author's Response:
Jim can be my babysitter anytime too!! I really like the idea of Sasha and Jim because it's something that was only alluded to once, but I think it gave a good dimension to Jim's character. I think I might go back and mention Sasha's kleptomania, though. :P
(and thanks for catching that typo. I'm in the middle of getting a beta reader.)
cheers.

Michael decides to take his sales dream team on a little trip and pulls Pam along for the ride. Spoilers through Cocktails.I am excited to see where you're going to take this and I am loving the Ryan and Pam interaction. I think the part about the office doing weird things to Ryan is totally plausible since you so see fun Ryan every once in awhile like when he was on the sales call with Dwight or at the bar during Cocktails.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you said that! People seem to peg Ryan as an ass sometimes, but I just think he hates his job, haha. I think if we saw him out of the office more it'd be different. Glad you're liking it!
Really, Jim? Was the never have I ever cheated really necessary? I've got a finger designated for that little statement right here, buddy. Okay, I'm calm now. Another great chapter. I'm looooving the Ryan and Pam continued flirtation although I kind of just want them to make out already. Can't wait to see what happens next!!
Author's Response: Hee! I love love love that when I began this story every comment was like "Boo Ryan and Pam! Go JAM!" and now they're more leaning towards "Ryan and Pam need to make out!" That is incredibly awesome :) And what you said about having a finger for that statement cracked me up! Thanks!
Okay, now I'm not sure anymore who I'm hoping for Pam to hook up with. I've been gunning for some Pam/Ryan loving since about chapter 2, but angry sex with jealous angry Jim could be pretty hot, too. Of course, then he would be cheating on Karen and I'd have to bring back that finger I reserved just for him during the Never have I ever game. Ahh, I'm so conflicted! Can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Haha, yes I think both scenarios would be hot! Don't worry, you'll find out today ;)
