   This is great; “Drug Testing” and “Email Surveillance” are easily among my favorite episodes. Nice to know she’ll be around; maybe _she_ can get Pam back in Jim’s bedroom again! ;)

   a “two-year deal”; does that mean a guarantee of at least two more seasons of The Office?

   Writing Drug Testing alone warrants a 7-figure salary

    Go Jen! E-mail Surveillance is my favorite episode with Drug Testing a close second.

    Beyond being a great writer, her office gets used for Michael’s “Michael’s office” scenes — as we learned from the tour insights here and GMMR — so it’s probably in their best interest to make sure Jen remains in that office. Who knows if a new tenant woulid be so cooperative? :)
