A study just came out showing that the number of visits to urgent care clinics and the retail clinics at places like Walgreens and CVS has grown fourfold over the last three years.

I agree it's strange not to think of the hierarchy. One of the few things that always bothered me about this show is how often subordinates talk back to their bosses—and not like in the way Donna sasses Josh. But the intern who lectures Sam about the GAO reports, the temp with the Star Wars pin, the other temp who…

This line never made any sense to me, because for some reason I kept equating "cut" with "eliminated."

Oh good, I thought I was alone in loving Natalie the first time around and not liking her anymore. And Dana not having enough confidence in herself seems totally realistic—it's why the **SPOILER** Sally storyline plays so well
