+The genesis for the episode came from an idea Angela Kinsey (Angela Martin) and Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly) had while spending time together on the set of the series.
+The math problem Michael gives, 13579 divided by 8724, equates to 1.56.
+Pam's monologue on reading about a girl who lived in a house with a terrace was based on a real book from the Choose Your Own Adventure series, although not specifically identified as such in the episode, read by Jenna Fischer when she was a child.
+Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey came to Greg Daniels with the basic idea for this episode: Jan would hold a seminar with the Dunder-Mifflin women as a cover to see if any of them had management/executive abilities, and Michael would get jealous. Daniels like the idea and asked them what came next in the story, and Fischer admitted they didn't have more of a plot to outline. Daniels then called BJ Novak into his office and assigned him to write the script from their original idea.
+Scenes were filmed where Dwight brought his "spud gun" to the men's meeting and wreaked havoc, but they were cut from the original broadcast because they upstaged the other parts of the story.
bit of a sad episode. the trashed warehouse, shutting down the union, pam & roy's obviously unhealthy relationship (all the comments he said in the warehouse & the way he shut down pam's dream)
I think Michael is a little less grating here because he is at least challenged by the warehouse folks for his bad actions.
★★★★☆☆☆
It's still so sad to see Pam cry.
You may look around and see two groups here - white collar, blue collar. But I don't see it that way. And you know why not? Because I am collar blind.

roy didn't want pam to take the internship because he doesn't want her to be on a higher level than him. he wants to keep her small, in the same space. jim wants her to have everything SHE wants, which is why he is hard on her about not taking it. that's called actual love folks
