You think so? Their problems haven’t magically gone away. That embrace was them saying “I love you, and I’m going to make this work, and we will find a solution” but that doesn’t mean the solution has been found.

At least, that’s my take.

I kind of agree but in The Office universe, I think that we’ll be on to other plot points. Next we’ll see Dwight and Angela get together.

Am I the only one that thinks that the amount of work this office does is at an all time low?

And on a related note, does an office this size really need three accountants?

That doesn’t seem that odd to me. They need someone to handle payroll, someone to handle A/P. And Kevin.

Well payroll for 12 people is maybe a 1/2 time job. AP another half time job especially when my guess is most of it is handled at HQ. Oh well. They do seem to have a lot of free time.

There’s nothing entertaining or dramatic about the Jim-Pam thing. They shouldn’t have tried to manufacture a conflict between them.
