Goofs

Earlier this same season, in "The Office":#5.1:The Office: Weight Loss, Holly's whiteboard reveals the 8 remaining Dunder Mifflin branches. Rochester, NY, was NOT identified as a functioning branch. This location seems to have come out of nowhere, yet Michael is slated to give a lecture there.
