The Ballad (saga?) of Jim and Pam as requested by Ashrey

Picture it...Scranton, Pennsylvania, 2005.

Jim and Pam are very good friends but Jim harbors a secret crush on dear Pam. Meanwhile Pam was loosely engaged to Roy who worked in the warehouse downstairs. Roy didn't appreciate the wonderfulness that is Pam and that frustrated Jim (For instance, we find out that on Roy and Pam's first date, Roy took her to a hockey game and then left her there by mistake. DOH!). But the crush isn't all one sided. A hot girl drops by the office to sell handbags and she and Jim hit it off which notably affects Pam.

The Christmas episode is when Jim bought her a very thoughtful gift (teapot) with an uber-sweet note inside. Well their boss, Michael, gets the idea to do a white-elephant/yankee swap/etc and that almost ruins Jim's gift for Pam but in the end all is well.

The next episode, The Booze Cruise, is when Jim almost tells Pam how he feels but before he can do so, Roy announces to everyone that he finally wants to set a date for their wedding. Poor Jim! Jim's bummed and tells Michael that he has a crush on Pam. Of course Michael can't keep that to himself so in the next few episodes Jim has to do damage control saying that his crush was when they first started working together.

Most of the rest of season 2 is Pam planning her wedding and Jim planning a trip to Australia. Then, in the final episode, Jim not only tells Pam but kisses her. If only that could have been me!!! Anyway we find out that he's accepted a job in the Stamford branch. And we all know he would stay if Pam reciprocated. She does admit to her mom that he's her best friend and that she does love him. Alas she decides to stick it out with Roy. She's loyal to a fault.

This season starts by letting us know that Pam called off the wedding and is single now. Roy has finally realized he let go of the best thing that ever happen to him so he's now interested in getting back together but doesn't let Pam know. And Jim, in Stamford, has been flirty with new girl, Karen. And as of last week, they're officially dating and Pam is bummed.

Ok, what did I forget? Any priceless Jim/Pam moments?

Very good summary! I can't think of anything you left out, but it made me want to shake Pam all over again for not dumping Roy earlier.
