If you were offered a job at Dunder Mifflin, would you take it?

They do, occasionally.
I remember one time Jan asking Michael if she was on camera.

Well, thats not what I mean. They always are aware of the camera, but they never say anything about watching themselves on TV. Like I could see Dwight going. "I saw us on TV last night. I know you were the one who put my stapler in the jello Jim!"

I love the show, but there is one thing I just realized.

The premice of the show is they are taping some sort of documentary right? Why don't they ever acknowledge that they are on TV in the show?

I've assumed the premise is that the documentary is unfinished and has not aired.

Nope - work with a bunch of incompetents, division on the verge of layoffs, in a PAPER COMPANY.
They're not incompotent, they just DON'T CARE.

Oh gotcha.
That would be funny, actually.
I like when they mention other recent shows, like LOST. I thought that was amusing.

Heck yeah, you have Pam to stare at and Dwight to pick on.

I want Jim's old job since he's transferring(or is he?).

Yeah, they mentioned it in the first show(or pilot) I think.

I wouldn't work there. Too boring.

You guys should try to catch the UK version. I saw the 2 seasons of the US version and then saw the entire UK version recently. The UK takes some more time to grow on you, but I think it's better overall. It's more of a documentary than the US version which has become a sitcom. The UK characters aren't as amiable as the US version but that's how they are supposed to be.

UK show is great.
The US show is great as well, but in a completely different way.
