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.

Ok, now you have made me want to watch the office! I can't stop. I need sleep!
