Too Much of a Funny Thing

I've been watching waaaayyyyy too much of  "The Office" lately.  I keep making references to it at work, and I think people think I'm nuts.  I find myself saying things like, "Hey, that's like when Dwight told Michael....  never mind..." in the middle of meetings & such.  When I was off, occasionally, an episode would make me miss the madness of my job.  Just a tad.  It made me realize how entertaining some of the aspects of working in an office truly are.  Now that I'm back, I see it even more & feel the need to point out the humor.  Sometimes to the chagrin of my co-workers.  Paul & I actually watch a few episodes every night since we DVR it, and it's on TBS like a million times a day. 

One day we had a fire alarm go off in the middle of a very rainy day.  It was NOT a drill.  We found out later that something went amiss with the power.  Anyway, a few of my co-workers & I got in my car to wait for the all-clear so as to avoid the rain.  As we watched the fire crew do their thing, which is kind of amusing in itself, I thought of when Ryan the Temp left his cheese pita in the toaster oven & set off the fire alarm & started laughing.  Well, none of the 3 losers in my car at the time knew what I was talking about.  Ok, I am actually the loser.  But still.  Just humor me!  I'm clearly a wacko!  That's what you do with wackos - humor them.
