Thanks so much! Hee, this fic was basically a recap in fictional form of the long conversation kyrafic and I had after "The Merger" figuring out why Jim was acting like such a dick. Haha.
I totally think that he likes Karen just fine, in an abstract kind of way, and yeah, exactly - it's not the same as with Pam, and he's definitely keeping his personas separate, and he somehow REALLY managed to make his Scranton persona pretty different. (I mean, Andy describing him as a real go-getter and all that says a lot about how Andy perceives the world, but also - dude, Jim. Suuuuck up at Stamford.)
I loved the horrible scene in the Merger where Jim turns Pam down for coffee, because it SO seemed embarrassment based - which is understandable, but awful at the same time. They cover their asses so hard, Jim and Pam. Aww, kids.
