Chapter 6
After an interesting day at work filled with sales calls, Phyllis talking about Bob Vance, and in Randy's case, jellybeans, I drove us to the hotel in Scranton. Randy called it our home away from home.
"Hey Earl," Randy said, one we were settled in our hotel room, "What do you want to do for dinner? If you want, I could order a pizza."
"Cool," I replied, "While you do that, I think I'll write a letter to Joy."
Dear Joy,
Hi. How are things back home? How's your trial going? Well, Randy and I just finished our third day at work at Dunder Mifflin. I sit next to Phyllis and Stanly. Phyllis is married to Bob Vance.
I need to ask your advice one something. It's kind of hard to explain, but here goes. Pam, the receptionist at Dunder Mifflin, is engaged to this guy from the warehouse, Roy. Roy's kind of a jerk. There's another worker at Dunder Mifflin, Jim, and he and Pam were meant to be together. You can just tell. I think Pam would be a lot happier with Jim, but she's engaged to Roy. What do you think I should do, just leave the situation alone, or try and get Jim and Pam together?
Confused,
Earl
Right after I finished writing that letter to Joy, the pizza came, so Randy and I ate.
A few days later, I got a reply from Joy:
Dear Earl,
I'll tell you what to do – put Jim and Pam on your stupid idiot list and set them up.
Sincerely,
Joy
PS: Who the hell is Bob Vance?
