When I'm working at my desk, I see Kevin talking to Pam about his band, he clearly wants to play at her wedding but he is trying not to make it obvious. My cell phone rings and I look to see who it is before declining it, Jim looks at me funny but I just shake him off. I spend most of my time talking to Pam about her wedding and because I'm not going as I'm off to Australia, I ask if she wants any help while I am still here and she is very thankful. We are doing I.D photos today, so everyone is dressed up nicely and some people have put make-up on as well. I'm trying to get mine done but Jim is standing behind the camera making me laugh and I am trying hard not to look at him, I finally get it down without laughing. Phyllis gets hers down and Dwight is making fun out of her make-up, I go over to slap him but Jim grabs me from behind, putting his arm on my waist to stop me. My phone rings in my pocket and I take it out to see who it is and decline it. I can see Jim is trying to see who is calling but I hide it away from him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Today we have had our I.D done and now that mine is done, I can finally take off my make-up and put my hair back up off my neck, I don't normally where make-up or have my hair down. I only do this on special occasion, but I thought today I shall look nice for at least a little while, I have no clue what today is going to bring but so far I am enjoying my day...Excuse me" Jess's phone rings and she takes it out her pocket and declines it. "Sorry about that...What? Oh it's no one. Am I looking forward to Australia, yes, I have already pack. I know that it's early still but I just wanna make sure I'm ready." I smile big to the camera.
"My Australia trip? Yes, I am super excited, Jess came round the other day and she went through my whole wardrobe to see what I haven't been wearing to put into my suitcase. She has also taken my passport with her, so I don't lose it or I don't make a run for it either. I told her it was too early but she told me to back off, I think she needs to go on this trip more than I do, but I like seeing her happy, so all the planning goes to her." He's laughing while shaking his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oscar has been ranting to Toby and Michael just has to interrupt him, I roll over to Jim desk and try to listen in but Jim flicks me in the head and tells me about what we are doing tonight, he is thinking dinner and a movie. Which I agree too. I found out Oscar is angry at Angela because she put her Christmas present of the baby pictures at her desk. My phone rings and I just decline it because I already know who it is. Jim tries to take me phone but I move it further away from him. "Who keeps calling you and why are you not answering," "It's nobody, don't worry about it." "Are you seeing someone?" "Maybe I am, Maybe I'm not, you will never know Halpert" I get back to work and the camera shows a hurt look on Jim's face, he sees the camera pointing at him and he coughs awkwardly and heads to the kitchen to make them both a hot drink.
Michael comes out of the conference room and ask everyone if anyone here has gone to Toby to complain about another employee, mostly everyone raises there hands, I print out something and hide it into my draw and roll my chair over to Jim. Michael isn't very happy about it so he starts to read the complaint files. First up is the Phyllis and Angela thing but Angela informs him that he already did her. Jim and I both look to the camera mouthing 'that's what she said.' Apparently Angela complains a lot about people in the office, apart from Dwight, I give Pam a sly look but she is already looking at me and we both air high-five each other. There is a file that is marked "Redacted" it just means that they come back later and withdrew it lots of people have complain a lot on Dwight but was redacted six months ago. Dwight was not happy about that. My phone rings again so I just switch it to silent, Jim is already looking over but I don't dare to look at him because I know he is going to ask me about it.
Pam volunteers to the group if someone has a problem with her to basically speak now, she had one complaint but got withdrawn, it doesn't help, the complaint was about her wedding. "What about me?" "Yes, two complaints but both withdrawn so also doesn't help us." I will be sneaking into that file later to find it. I bet one is from Kevin because I didn't give him some food or something. Jim tells the group that Dwight tried to kiss him and I snort a laugh. slowly sinking into my seat. Dwight gets angry at Jim. Everything that people has said is coming out and it's like a very owe roast. Which I am enjoying to the fullest " Stop enjoying this so much." " I have no idea what you are talking about." " You might want to say that your face" " My face is beautiful Jim, leave it alone." "It is but the big smile on your face shows you are having to much fun about this." I go bright red and cough awkwardly.
Pam drags me to the kitchen to complain about Angela, I making tea while she rants about her, she even tells me she sent her an invitation. I ask her how Roy is taking the wedding but she tells me he is not really involved. I give her a small smile and I try to cheer her up but making her a coffee and she shows me her wedding dress, which is absolutely adorable. Dwight tells Jim that there is a sale's manager position open in Stamford and he also tells me there is one open in Maryland. he asked if he should call Jan and say that we are both interested. Me and Jim look at each other than the camera with bored expression. Michael calls off into the conference and tells the three of us that nobody leaves, until we sort it out, all complains are about Jim and I tried hard not to laugh during this meeting frantically I don't even know why I am here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Five bucks each to everyone for calling Dwight, Dwayne. Totally worth it." Jim smiles to the camera, showing Jess next to him laughing.
"Most of these are my ideas but Jim is taking the fall for all of them, I both happy that Jim has my back and always angry that he gets all the credit and I don't know which one I would rather prefer." Me and Jim both laugh to the camera.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael leaves to get his picture and leaves the three of us alone. Me and Dwight are sitting at the desk, when Jim talks about the job at Stamford. I give him an 'are you serious' look but he is not looking at me, so I just listen to him and Dwight talk about it, with a hurt look on his face. Michael comes back and Dwight ask him if he is going to transfer Jim. "I say not, you can't transfer someone because you don't like them, they have to be transfer or fired if they are not doing the job probably and Jim is the best salesman in this damn company and he deserves to stay more than anyone else in the office because if you want to talk about people who can't do there jobs I will give you the list right now and my reason why they should leave." Jim comes over to me and rubs my back as I stand up angrily to Michael. Michael and Dwight walk out of the office with out a word. " Thank you for standing up for me, am I really the best?" "I will always have your back Jim no matter what. And of course your not the best, I am." We laugh together "Right of course you are, my bad." We stand up from the table and hug it out and he kisses my temple we stay like this for a while and the camera catches this sweet moment.
The I.D goes to leave but Michael wants to do a group photo of all of us, Michael really wants this photo so he gives the guy 20 bucks, everyone heads to Pam desk and I sit on top of it with Jim behind me, we take about 3 pictures before Jim hugs me from behind, placing his head in between my shoulder and neck, he makes a fart noise onto my shoulder as I laugh as soon as the camera goes off and I push him away from me and he laughs with me, I can feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and hop off the desk, Jim watches as Jess declines her call and throws her phone into her bag. Jim admits to Pam that he complain about her and the atmosphere goes sour and I can feel the awkward tension in the room. Jim phones me the next day to tell me he won't be in until later and I don't know why but he said he is okay and that he will see me later, I try to ask him about where he is but he is being suspicion, I really hope he is not doing anything stupid.
