Just like shutting down one paper company, we will make another, then another, and another!
The Office official website
The US version of The Office is now in it's 6th season, with changes such as Jim being Co-Manager with Michael, Pam letting everyone know she is pregnant, and the highlight being Jim and Pam's Wedding in Niagara Falls:
We also have TV imitating Youtube, which is now on Youtube, making it some trippy box inside a box thing:

So far we have lost Holly:
But we have gained Erin:
It's still in its 9pm est slot on Thursdays on NBC, with Hulu being another option.

i thought theyd at least have one more scene involving that
2) Erin seems like the kind of person who is afraid to have people dislike her, and this is another manifestation of that.
Pam's just jealous because Erin is a far superior receptionist.
Loved the opera playing while Dwight scowls at Jim. Fit perfectly.
Pam's face as the horror just slowly dawns on her is an amazing thing.
Well yeah, if it wasn't Michael she'd have been suspended if not fired for acting like that. It was over the top especially since I believe that Michael genuinely likes Pam and wants her to be happy and all he's asking for is the same token.
The only time Michael went completely over the top stupid is when he completely trashed the warehouse during the women's workshop episode.
All the other times is his own stupidity making things worse, like sending the Sandals photo out to everyone, or trying to convince everyone he was disabled. Pam was just being mean, especially when she kept wanting to know who it was.
And the deleted scene with Erin and the candy really adds to the theme that no one really likes Erin in the office because she's too nice. I would have thought they would have Andy be around the desk all the time ala Jim and Pam.
Right, these are all fireable offenses, much less the repeated doing of them, not to mention his overall cultural insensitivity which was remarked on in the pilot season, during the diversity day thing.
Other offenses off the top of my head:
Alcohol at a company party
Sneaking to Nashua and breaking the big copier
Basically the whole episode of Gay Witch Hunt
Hiring a stripper then having her work in the office?
Conspiring to keep Meredith an employee even though she traded sex for discounts
One of those things or so is probably allowable. ALL of them? Not to mention countless potential lawsuits from customers, employees and coworkers due to cultural stupidity and insensitivity which would cost the company countless millions. He definitely would have been let go a lonnnnng time ago.
"Oh, but it's a tv show." Right, and it's a great and hilarious tv show, and it wouldn't be the same without it. I'm just wondering why there's one standard of reality for Michael, and then another standard of reality for Pam. Was she overreacting? Yes. Is this fireable in The Office universe? It's pretty damn mild considering the "Did I stutter?" incident from Stanley.
/rant.
Doing some dodgy stuff on the side and talking that way to your boss are pretty different things.
Michael's never been fired for his treatment of Toby.
Toby, who represents HR, which is the group that is supposed to be neutral and in charge of arbitration, has consistently been harassed in a variety of ways throughout the whole show.
What Pam did was certainly inappropriate. But to say that she deserves getting the boot more than Michael is absurd,
Is there anywhere to watch the deleted scene in Canada? Global only has full episodes.
If not, what happens in the deleted scene?
then kevin walks up, and takes about half of them and stuffs them in his pocket

The deleted scenes on nbc.com work. It's just the full episodes that won't play.
This. When Michael asked her if his happiness was important to her and she responded saying something like "not in the least" I was pretty shocked. I actually disliked her at that point.
Also, Jim is slowly becoming more and more like Michael. Everytime things got awkward or he was put on the spot her either yelled at Toby or tried to do a funny voice. AWESOME.
It was a heat of the moment thing. Before, she encouraged him to continue seeing his girlfriend precisely because it would make him happy.

I kinda liked this joke back when Jim was in charge of The Office during the Survivorman episode and towards the end Michael was like "Oh, you'll get it, in a few years." Right now though it just comes off as...predictable and overplayed anymore. Jim is a smart guy when he is motivated and wants to do something. I wish they'd show him as inept in a less...Michael Scott manner. I imagine he'd be awkward learning the ropes and being the new superior to long time coworkers, but they could do it different.
In regards to the Pam hate, I agree she overreacted, but I think it is fairly understandable. Michael is already pretty unbearable and considers himself a part of the PB&J relationship, I can't imagine what an annoyance he would be if he actually became a permanent fixture in her personal life. Also, she basically learned in the worst way possible. This should have come from her mom, outside of work where they could have talked about it and maybe gotten Pam to calm down.
Clarity Edit: An annoyance to her. It would probably be hilarious, but I doubt Pam would want to hear about her mom getting some from Michael (which he would totally gossip about) and his general overbearingness.
Specifically, I believe she said "I could give a shit about your happiness". Which isn't even grammatically correct, either!
That doesn't excuse her flipping out entirely but it makes it considerably more understandable, and definitely not fire-worthy.

Also, another thing Michael did that added fuel to the fire was taking the cell phone call right outside the door. He had to have known it would incense her. Granted, she was being loud and bitchy during the meeting but that doesn't make it right. Calling her out and announcing that he was dating Pam's mom to the whole office definitely would not make it better.
