I'm excited that we might get to see Karen and Pam as friends here! Nice change. Also nice to see Jim take charge with the arrival of the transferred employees. Hopefully he can keep Michael from forcing that poor man to get onto the table in the conference room...
Looking forward to whatever might be next!
Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thank you! I think in this world Michael has slightly different thoughts about the incoming people since Jim isn't one...

Jim and Pam are actually having coffee after he merger. Great way to fix that!

Such a lovely chapter! Another unfulfilled (and unbearably painful) heartbreak - the coffee one - was fixed. Thank you for that!
I hope they'll both find a friend in Karen in this universe.

The Diwali fix-it was perfect. A lovely balance of Michael and Kelly too. Not to mention all the nods to Casino Night.
“Yeah, if we don’t go Michael will probably do something stupid.” This was great. You took a canon moment and didn’t even include it and somehow still made it work. I laughed.
I love that in light of the Stamford news you have them keen to move in together.
“He grinned down at her. “Now, as your ARM, I have to say, your attitude towards your job needs some work.”
 “Oh, suck it Halpert.” This is so, so fun. He’s still very much Jim, full of light and fun and far, far less Season 3 angst. Their dynamic here is so sweet.
Karen as a friend is definitely a concept I can get behind!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad this is all working for you still now that we've left your country ;)

I really liked the thoughts going on in Pam's mind. Also nice to bring in the questions from Izzy and her mom. They have legitimate concerns after all. However they're also unaware of that purchase Jim made back in Australia so there's that.
To have a Karen as a friend rather than rival could be fun. Especially since she is willing to join in on the occasional prank. That raises all sorts of possibilities. Great update as usual.
Author's Response: Thank you! I think it's important to change that relationship because it has so much potential.

Friend Karen is best Karen, looking forward to that! Let's just hope she gets that Jim is taken, that Halpert charm can cause collateral damage sometimes!
I enjoyed the introductions, great tongue in cheek there, and manager Jim strikes again.
Looking forward to Michael's disaster of a plan!
Author's Response: Thank you! I will work on Friend!Karen.
