Ditto. And there isnt even anyone else in the office for her to move on to. AWKWARD!
Also, Pam looks a little beefier than she was last we saw her. Still hot though.

Well, you do tend to put on a little weight while lying around recovering from a broken back. I didn't notice a difference, though.

This reminds me. Local news bumper ads have been advertising "The Office Convention" (theofficeconvention.com) in Scranton. The specificity of the details would make Dunder Mifflin proud. ;) | JoshMann

I was fine with the $1.99 price because I think when I added it up before the cost to buy the season was about the same as buying the DVD season so it seemed fair. Not sure why NBC thinks they should be able to charge more for downloading them than buying them on DVD now. | StingArmy

There's an associated benefit with getting the episodes right away as compared to waiting until the season has been over for a couple of months to get the episodes on DVD. That's why NBC thinks the iTunes downloads should cost more.
Personally I feel that despite that benefit, the cost per episode from iTunes should be FAR less than the cost per episode on DVD. There's a huge difference between being able to watch the episodes on any TV screen or monitor that accepts input from a DVD player and being forced to watch the episodes on a (relatively) tiny iPod screen. But if people are willing to pay for it..
