is that really what HE said?

SPOILER ALERT! if you have not seen yesterday's episode of The Office - look away!

So last night's episode of The Office was funny, as always, but more than anything it made me uncomfortable. I was soooo uncomfortable and anxious for Jim, trying not to look like a jerk in front of the new boss, but somehow just kept digging himself deeper into a hole where Charles, the new boss looks at him the way he looks at Dwight and/or Michael. Granted, this new guy is a robot and completely devoid of ANY humor...which is probably why Angela is so into him.

Ok, so let's get to the big moment at the end of the episode, after the long, awkward scene where Michael realizes how little David Wallace thinks of him. David tells Michael he can have his party, figs and all and he will even attend, which strikes a chord in Michael that at first seems like gratitude, but quickly shifts to possibly the most self-aware Michael Scott moment I can remember in a while. Michael's response to David's concessions?

"I quit".

I actually did not see that coming.

and then, of course in true Michael Scott form, he could not leave well enough alone, declaring as he makes his exit "you have no idea how high I can fly".

what's gonna happen? and where is Toby?
