I just noticed we’ve been mis-numbering them. Whoops! I’ll go fix that in just a minute, but first!

April 4, 2010

I was already dorkily proud of this story I wrote for work, suggesting ways to shake up the Jim and Pam storyline on The Office. It was tough calibrating the tone so that it was still clear that I love the show and I don’t actually think I know better than the writers — so [...]
