Great chapter. I absolutely loved this line - "Most mornings, when she wasn’t contemplating suicide by paper product, she was thinking murder by telephone cord"
Author's Response: Somedays I feel like that at work...lol. Transferring my own frustrations to Pam.

Nice beginning! You've captured the Jim/Pam misery and camaraderie well.
Author's Response:
Co worker misery is the easiest thing to write. LOL. Especially if you hate you job most days.

I just read all of this at once and I love it. I love this approach of filling in the interior voice during the episodes. Of course, I want to smack Pam, but I want to smack show Pam too, so that means you've got it right. Lovely! Keep going
Author's Response: THANKS! I want to smack her too most days...that and kiss Jim senseless....

Hope it's okay that I'm leaving another review - just wanted to tell you not to be discouraged at the lack of reviews. For one thing, LOTS of people read and don't review (myself included sometimes when I'm in a hurry), so the reviews/lack thereof aren't a reflection on your story (though it's hard not to take it that way, I know). Second, though, I noticed when I first started posting that my stories didn't generate much of a reaction until I'd been posting for a while. I don't think anyone here is snobby at all, just that there are so many incredibly talented established writers here (nomadshan, xoxoxo, Collette, to name only a few) that lots of readers go straight for their stuff (or stuff from someone they recognize) first.
All this to say: Don't get discouraged; keep writing and posting!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the encouragement! =-D

Great job! I loved the beginning bit of Pam's inner monologue - I think you hit the nail on the head re: her life, why she stays with Roy, how she sort of fell into complacency. And you write her banter with Jim so well.
Great job!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I wonder if anyone's reading sometimes. I love your stories and honestly any compliment from you is an inspiration!
I am trying to be careful with Pam and Roy, because I don't want Jim to kjust come ans sweep her away, you got to have a crack in the foundation and something makes the crack grow.... ya know? =-)

I'm intriuged... and you've got quite a writing flare going on. I really like the details you pick up on. Keep it going - I interested to see where you go with this!
Author's Response: I've watched their DVDs a bit too much...lol. And I started out with one shots just to get the juices flowing. This is my big project and I'll see how well I do. I enjoy all your stories as well!
