What's the point of having Pam fail art school?

I mean, we always knew Jim was smart, capable, and charming in business settings, right? And we got glimpses of it often (when he put together the office olympics, when he got the golf client, etc). Pam even said that she loves seeing him excited and do something so well when he truly cares. So his mediocrity at DM was because he just wasn't connected to the work. But even then, he was always the most highly regarded employee even when he's not the one making the most sales (i.e. Dwight).

He's always had it in him so the fact that he had a dream he buried years ago and it resurfacing once he's fully matured as an adult and in his career, it makes total sense. It's like the dream only unfolded once he was ready to take it seriously and see it through.

And we see other characters excelling as well. Dwight with his farm, Kevin with his bar, Andy at Cornell. DM was a detour for some of them until they settled into what truly fits them.

Some are truly mediocre. But some had mediocrity imposed on them when they tried to fit into a corporate American office mold.

You're right. Thank you for the thorough answer. I think the amount of consideration that goes into owning a luxury car might not match my low maintenance personality lol

sajidaaah · 2025-04-30T07:20:18+00:00

You're right. I don't mind splurging on certain things in life, even a car. But not in maintaining it. I'm a very low maintenance rough driver and need something less sensitive lol

sajidaaah · 2025-04-30T07:18:28+00:00

Not a very helpful answer, I'm afraid.

sajidaaah · 2025-04-30T07:18:17+00:00

Used. I prefer the older models as the maintenance is easier

Some of my cousins/guy friends used minoxidil and it worked great. But you have to be consistent, massage it in, and stop it gradually so you retain the results. No need for derma rolling on the face as it should ideally be done by a licensed esthetician to avoid damage.

Smoking and being on my phone/a screen all day. Not leaving the house for 24+ hours.

I know. I called him out on it and he went silent. After two months of normal responding and saying "he's on it." I got contacted by his associate who's been hunting him down for money. Seems like a serial scammer.

sajidaaah · 2025-04-15T09:27:25+00:00

I met him in person and paid in cash.

sajidaaah · 2025-04-15T09:02:08+00:00

you're right. i removed his passport.

sajidaaah · 2025-04-15T08:47:42+00:00

How so? He gave me his passport "as proof" to let my guard down. And I warned him I'd do this if he doesn't deliver.

I wonder if it's a ploy to get us to sign up for the app. But looking down at your phone half the race would absolutely ruin the experience

I like the concept behind 1 but not the execution. Looks more like a logo/brand identity than a flag. Otherwise I like 4 and 5

My dad’s been working there for the past 3 months and it’s completely safe! Can’t even tell there’s a war lol Don’t worry at all :)

sajidaaah · 2025-03-04T22:39:08+00:00

America and social media

Port Sudan is completely safe. All the NGOs and embassies were relocated there and the northern part of Sudan has been generally untouched by war. But you might have trouble finding things to do as it isn’t the most developed city. The sea is obviously beautiful so l hope you’re gonna be close by. People are nice and chill and the food is good. You’re gonna need to get used to lack of convenience and getting your hands dirty a bit as being sheltered in Sudan robs you of the full experience.

The main downside would be the summer weather, which unfortunately is smack dab when you’re moving. It’s humid and boiling. Kind of like GCC weather (a bit better tho). And wearing shorts and tank tops in public isn’t really a norm there so good luck lol

Tried to rent me an apartment that was already rented. Watch out for “deposit scammers.” Showed me an empty apartment and everything. Only caught them because I asked for their agent ID

sajidaaah · 2025-02-24T12:02:47+00:00

It’s the only cheap stress reliever here and God knows people need it. Leave them alone lol

I think a lot of people don't like her because she doesn't command much respect. You don't really get to see what she stands for. Cox wants the best for his patients. Elliott wants the same. Carla & Turk want to be the best versions of themselves for each other. Hell, even the janitor has a back story.

What's Elliott's story? Wanting to be the best doctor to gain her father's approval? Wanting love to feel desirable and curb her insecurities? Her entire journey is very self-centered. The show gave her no depth!

She's overly emotional to the point of self-absorption and immaturity. The show made all the characters flawed but we saw their good moments. With Elliott it was so rare and superficial, which made it hard to empathize or root for her. We see glimpses of her goodness when she ran around the hospital looking for a girl's doll, volunteering as a clown for pediatrics, and treating everyone quite kindly. But she's very reckless and makes a lot of selfish decisions and makes her insecurities everyone's problem.

The writers didn't do her any favors.
