The Office and your office

[pontifex]

I've been watching The Office and just finished season 3 last night. Love the show!

Anyway, are there people in your office that are like the people in The Office?

I think my boss is sort of like a cross between Michael, Dwight, and Creed, with maybe a little Kelly mixed in.

He's not as bad as those characters are, but he definitely has similar traits as they do.

This guy I know has a Michael kinda boss to a T. It's funny all of his co-workers call the boss "Michael" behind his back.

Hate to say it, but I'm probably Dwight. The nerd of the group, obsessed with performance, wants the boss' job.

They say if you don't know at least one Michael Scott, you ARE Michael Scott.

When I think of Dwight, I don't think he really wants Michael's job at all, mostly I think he wants to be the kiss-up second in command.

Damn it pontifex, of all the things you like (very few) you actually like this show??? Guess I'm alone in my hatred for it after all.

I'll give you 1 billion schrute bucks to watch and like the show

I never watched that show before for some reason. I watched a few episodes and got hooked. Bought all 3 seasons and watched em back to back.

I watched the pilot and didn't like it then. I just watched part of another episode online at nbc.com and still don't like it. The delivery is just not there although the premise is good.

you're not

I think I'm what Dwight would be if he had years of pot and alchohol abuse to mellow him out I'm big into wanting everyone to perform their best 110% of the time, probably even moreso than my boss is, but I was in charge for 2 weeks and totally didn't go on a power trip. lol.

my workplace environment isn't really comparable to a typical office, though... I mean, my department is 10 20-something year-old guys. there's really a minimal amount of drama that would ever be created.

 

[Deeko]

My office is a lot more like Office Space than The Office.

 

[antyler]

The guys i work with are more like the guys in the warehouse. a bunch of sex obsessed red necks. ha. I guess thats even worse than the guys on the office.

I can't stop watching it. I can't wait to get home and watch more episodes!


ok, this whole thing of me not liking anything is so not true. I like tons of things. isn't there a saying that goes something like this:

people who don't like something will complain more than people who do, because the people who do like it are spending their time with said thing instead of complaining.



I DO NOT HATE EVERYTHING!
I JUST HATE ATOTERS!

He goes after Michael's job in one of the episodes... arranges a meeting with the boss and says he could do the job better.

have you watched any of this season's The Office? unfortunately there have only been a few episodes due to the writer's strike, but the episode where Pam and Jim stay at Shrute Farms for a night is really really a good one. (thanks in large part to cousin Moze)

I'm a big fan too ... thought I was getting some of the DVDs for Christmas, but didn't Will have to find them on my own. If you al haven't seen the British version (which inspired the American one), it is definitely worth a watch too.

Pam getting up to see what the banging noise is outside and it's the door on the outhouse which blows open to show Moze sitting on the pot. funnay!

 

[Patt]

Oh, and if there were a truly bitter, sarcastic, overweight, diabetic Asian IT guy, I could account for nearly all the characters in my office. As for me, I'm more towards the Jim end of the scale ... pranks and jokes, but a good worker. My bosses boss is remarkably similar to Dunder Mifflin's CEO

I have to get back to watching the office, I'm still stuck on the first few episodes of season 3.

I was really disappointed with the Beach Party episode. Pam and Karen in swimsuits (pam even mentions she's wearing a 2 piece) and we get to see nothing! wtf was that all about?
