This week is kind of a strange one. Michael drags Oscar, Pam, and Barrack Obama to a high school job fair in an attempt to sucker children into working for their boring little office. While Jim, Kevin, and Andy hit up a golf course to try to sell paper to a potential client. It’s a bit boring on the surface, but there’s some good stuff in between.

You see Jim trying his best to actually do his job, because of his probation Ryan has inflicted. It’s a fairly stale story for Jim, since he’s not really up to his usual antics. I guess that’s the point, though, to set up drama for the next episode(s).

Angela and Dwight end up being the only ones left in the office, as everyone decides to leave, since Michael, Jim, and Andy aren’t there to lord over them. While they flirt in their strange, missionary style behind Andy’s back, Andy is out making us laugh with his slapstick antics. Golfing with seriously disgusting hand-blisters (reminding me of his bloody nipples) and driving into sandtraps, Ed Helms continues to show us how hilarious of a character Andy is.

At the job fair, Pam reminisces about her high school days while Michael makes everything awkward, as he tries oh-so-desperately to bring the cool kids to his farce – I mean, force. Reality sinks in towards the end when he realizes no one wants to intern with Dunder Mifflin, making no money and earning no school credits. Slavery isn’t usually favored over indentured servitude.

Pam is also smacked with reality towards the end as she realizes that she doesn’t even have entry level experience for graphic design (even if that entry level experience is severely exaggerated and I’d know). While she’s a nice, quaint artiste, it’s a little hard to believe that she’d survive two minutes out in the graphic design world. And I’m pretty sure she knows it. I’d be surprised if she still wants to follow that as a career in the future.

This latest episode is fairly weird and disjointed. Remember the good old days when I complained about Michael getting all the attention? Well now it’s almost too much stuff going on, and it was really hard for me to get into one story. Also, the content of it all was pretty bland. It was funny, but not one of the best this season. I’m sure they’ll come back in full force for the season finale this week. However, this one gets three and a half Dwight foreheads.
