This was a fantastic story. And it was only your first fanfiction! I really like how you dove into Pam's life before Dunder Mifflin. Her interactions with Roy were written perfectly. Inspired choice to make Pam forget her engagement ring on her first day of work. It just made the inenvitable heartache for Jim even more amplified. I'm defiantly going to have to read your latest fiction to read your version of the next day's date.
Author's Response: I love your screen name! Thanks so much for reading. Yes, some day when I find that my life has been totally taken over by JAM fan fiction, I will have this story to blame.

Hey, you should keep going with this story. I really liked it, especially chapter 5. I like where it seems to be going. I guess maybe you'd have to start a new story...Pam's second day, or something. I don't know. It was just really well done.
Author's Response: Thanks! I have indeed taken many stabs at writing "Pam's Second Day at Dunder-Mifflin." I haven't quite pulled it together yet, but hopefully I'll get it done in the next couple weeks. It is hard to think about a Jim/Pam "date" that ends with Pam telling Jim she's engaged when there are so many great post-The Job fics around of their REAL first date. I guess I just want to revel in the happiness for a little while longer before I revisit the heartbreak.

Aw, this is fun, and yet heart-breaking, thinking about Jim going from happy and excited about meeting her, to finding out she's engaged... :( Poor Jim.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Yes, I couldn't face writing the next day, when Jim finds out he's engaged...but I know it would make a perfect epilogue to actually write their lunch at Cugino's. I'm still thinking about doing, if I think I can face the heartache.

Wow. I'm really enjoying this. And it is FUNNY. (which is, in my opinion, the rarest thing to find in these fics) I think you really have the character's voices down. "Oxey Lady"...lol... NOW FINISH IT!!!! : ) Subtle....
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It feels a bit open-ended...I was toying with adding an epilogue of Jim and Pam's lunch the next day, but I don't know if I can take the heartache of Jim finding out Pam is engaged. I still might do it though, if I'm in a particularly masochistic mood.

When you wrote "watercolor landscape" above, I thought it said "watercooler". That has got to be a sign that I am way too into The Office :) This is def. one of the best "Pam meeting Jim" fics around; good job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
