What is even happening?

I was starting to worry about how worried I am for poor Jenna Fischer, when I found myself reading yet another report of her injury. But y'all really should read the whole thing:

TVGuide.com's wellest wishes go out to The Office's Jenna Fischer — one of our first-ever celebrity bloggers — who on Tuesday took a spill down the steps of an NYC club hosting an upfronts event and suffered four fractures in her back. "She avoided anything scary near the spine," Jenna's rep tells the New York Daily News. Office mate Angela Kinsey and Jenna's hubby, director James Gunn (who jetted in from L.A.), stayed with her overnight at the hospital.

Sidelined for four to six weeks, Fischer had to cancel a Conan O'Brien drop-by and a Harper's Bazaar shoot, the Post reports, but will make a full recovery in time to shoot Season 4 of The Office this summer.

Now, not to suggest anything, but... Dunder-Mifflin's Karen was seen leaving the scene with a canister of ACME ball bearings.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee!

Get well soon, Jenna.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I heard this was at Buddakan? Those steps are pretty scary.

Ha! That little look to the camera just now was perfect. Hee. Go, Temp!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Office: So, I could have done without 75% of the rest of the hour, but the last five minutes!! Both before and after the credits.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Um, I think my heart just exploded.

THE OFFICE

I think William expressed my feelings at this moment best when he penned:

My heart expands
'Tis grown a bulge in't
Inspired by your beauty
Effulgent.

Jesse, I don't think I could have done without 75%, but those last five minutes killed me so dead, I can't really remember too much else, except Secret Assistant Regional Manager Pam Beesly.

Kate, you're slain!

Where's all the rest of the posty-goodness for The Office? Did it kill everyone dead?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh man, everything regarding the Kim situation on Scrubs was handled so perfectly, it was like Bill Lawrence was in my living room giving me a neck rub as I watched.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Agreed, that look to the camera at the very end made the episode. Though I was pretty sure neither Michael nor Jim would get the job because they (plus Pam and maybe Dwight) are too central to the show to be written out longterm.

So where are Jim and Karen now? Last we saw, she was going to lunch with friends instead of waiting for him to finish the interview. That can't have been her way of saying, "It's over," could it?

Dwight's actions were so perfectly Dwight. Especially his interview of Andy.

I want to see more of Andy next season. I think he has a great story.
