RYAN HAD BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT TODD PACKER ALL DAY. Every thirty minutes or so, Evelyn would feel her cell phone vibrate. It made sense. She felt awful that he had to be the one stuck with him, but she also felt grateful she didn't have to do it. She just wished, more than anything, that he had at least given her a heads up when they arrived back at Dunder Mifflin.

Todd Packer had always been inappropriate with the women in the workplace. He was one of those men. The men who believed women were inferior and basically worthless if they couldn't cook, clean, or be a pillow princess. He was degrading and lewd, and he always had something to say when it came to Evelyn and Kelly. He constantly reminded them that he was a man who loved many things, including exotic women.

"Don't ever let this little bitch drive you around town," Todd announced to the entire floor with Ryan in tow. "We got lost for half an hour." Evelyn stood next to the reception desk, fingers knuckle deep in Pam's candy dish. Her lip curled immediately when he leaned against the desk beside her. "I don't have any DUIs, so I can drive myself. But thanks," Pam retorted, turning back to the brunette.

Her mother was still a no show and it was starting to bug the redhead. Now that Packer has returned, her uneasiness level skyrocketed. Expectantly, Todd didn't seem to hear Pam's smart alec remark. "Where's Michael Snot?" he asked. "Sniffing some dude's thong?"

"Oh, did he not give that back to you?" Evelyn asked, feigning surprise. Todd's cocky grin fell. He scoffed, clearly not happy with her response, and stepped away. His next victim appeared to be Jim by his direction. Pam snickered, her head dropping. "He's such an ass," Evelyn whispered, plucking out a purple skittle. She had almost cleared the dish out of the purple ones.

Pam nodded. Her head slipped back toward the door, hoping to find her mother standing there. The quicker she got there, the better it all would be. "She'll get here," Evelyn sighed. She popped a candy into her mouth. Pam shrugged. "No, I know. I just don't want her to hear any of the gross stuff. It's bad enough with one Michael. Now we have two."

"I'll keep Packer away," Evelyn stated with a dismissive wave of her hand. "All I have to do is dangle a sausage in front of him, and he'll be biting." Pam grimaced. Before she could respond, Michael's office door pulled open. Out came their boss and Jan Levinson, along with Toby and an unidentifiable man. "Attention, everyone," he voiced loudly.

"Uh, yes, I just want you to know that, uh, this is not my decision," Michael stated. Curiously, Evelyn glanced toward her red haired friend. Pam shrugged. She had missed out on this meeting. "But from here on out, we can no longer be friends."
