“If you bring your boss to class, you get a full letter grade higher. I’d be crazy not to,…wouldn’t I?”
Because he’s a pretty spineless little bastard.
Really, can anyone name one laudable thing Ryan has done on this show? Anything that didn’t radiate a snarky air of superiority?

No no, “May your dreams soar as high as your hats,” which is what 20 feet.
He views his time at Dunder Mifflin as a stopping off point. He’s in B-school and plans to move way up in the world, so he thinks who he works for and dates now really wont matter 5 years from now when he’s in Manhattan, Chicago, or Boston working for a big company in a position befitting him.
I also thought the vampire bit was streching it a bit. Rabies I would have bought hook line and sinker.
But then we wouldn’t have gotten the awesome Jim-pulling-up-his-coat joke.
Err, not sweet. Toby has tried a couple of times to hit on Pam, but has failed/lost his nerve.
it wasn’t so much suffocating as trapping a live bat in proximity to her head.
Well part of it is he is somewhat spineless. He’s not really a strong personality. He just kind of sulks in the background and makes snide comments.
Yeah, I know that feeling.
Except he’s not exactly going to Wharton. If he was really that smart and ambitious, he wouldn’t be going to some nth tier school near Scranton, PA. He would be going to at least an NYC school like Fordham, NYU Stern or Columbia and trying to get real work experience.
I love Ryan’s punishment! Michael really knows where to hit him where it hurts in terms of giving him an incentive to improve and move out of the annex. If that doesn’t make him work hard, I don’t know what does! I find it hilarious that Ryan is saying how Dunder Mifflin is a failing paper company, yet he hasn’t made a single sale, so essentially, they are paying him for doing nothing. Whose fault is it that he works at a failing paper company?!
This is the first time I’ve heard of it referred to as the “annex.” In “The Carpet,” Jim said, “Well, there’s definitely an empty desk in the back.” It’s the part of the office beyond the kitchen/rest rooms. The break room (with the vending machines) is back there – It took me a while to figure out that the break room and the kitchen were two different rooms. Kelly and Toby sit back there – and there seems to be one more woman who sits there (with her back to the kitchen door). I’ve glimpsed her a couple of times, but I can’t figure out who it is. In his very short tenure in Scranton, Tony was also back there with Kelly and Toby.
My understanding is that Kelly’s in customer service, so she spends a lot of time talking loudly on the telephone, which might be kind of disruptive in the main office.
Both Jim and Toby couldn’t stand sharing Kelly’s cubicle, but the funny thing is that when Toby switched desks, he took one that’s right up against her cubicle. He could have gone further – there’s an empty desk adjacent to the break room.
Will Jim get his desk back now?
Crazy thought it seems to us, it’s perfectly in character for Dwight, who bought into faxes from himself in the future, and a sharper image Gaydar. I bet some reasonable percentage of the US population is not 100% sure that vampires don’t exist. And if you go on the net and google up vampires, what do you find? Lots of sites about vampires, not a big page saying “hey, nimrod, Vampires DO NOT EXIST at all period”.
Not only is Dunder-Mifflin paying him for nothing, it appears they’re working around his class schedule, since they seemed to leave during normal working hours.
I loved the visual joke of everyone typing up Michael’s statement that you can’t do serious business without paper on their laptops.
Anybody remember that link to the sketch of the office layout?
This might be better than a sketch.
So Dwight’s office was in the men’s room?
Yup, Jim put it there for one of he cold-intros.
Sweet!
Funny though how the draftsman didn’t discern that the ?? room next to the men’s room is the ladies’ room. 
Well, I think it’s just that they haven’t shown the interior of the ladies room, and thus he couldn’t draw up the blueprints for it.
No no, “May your hats soar as high as your dreams”

I remember because it was so bass-ackwards!
Ooh, I just remembered the virtual tour.
