The Office

NaBloPoMo is almost over...my sister is almost gone (she leaves tomorrow morning)...and I am watching The Office 1st Season on Netflix (the BEST invention in the world EVER!!). Enjoy some clips of Jim's Office pranks!!

The Office

Ever watch The Office on NBC? You should!! Especially before the end of this season and "Michael Scott" (Steve Carrell) leaves the show!

Sorry for the sorry excuse for the post - I'll do better tomorrow!!

State of Emergency

Colorado Springs has been issued a state of emergency because of our annual Kick-Off to Spring Blizzard. (That's an unofficial title, by the way). But it happens every year...we get the one last BIG storm before the weather generally improves. So we're homebound this evening, and Justin is even grilling some steaks and shish-ke-bobs!

In the attempt to pass the time, I'm actually working on my Spring reading list. I'm still in the middle of "Rubicon", but I am on the last chapter, and the Republic is about to fall!!! Well, we already know that, but it's still interesting! Anyway, I brought it to work today to read some at lunch, and....definately left it in my desk. I'd hate to start on another book when I'm in the middle of or almost done with another one. But I've got that reading "itch". Especially since I'm home bound.

But, I've got a long night ahead of me. A new My Name is Earl (which is a seperate post in and of itself - I'm hooked!), a new Office and a new 30 Rock! So I'll be occupied until 9 pm or so. That just means I'll have plenty of post-Thursday night line-up reading, and if the storm gets worse and it doesn't look like I'll be going into work, then I will have a lot of time to read tomorrow as well!

Hope all you fellow Coloradans are keeping warm and safe at home!!

I hope to post pictures when I can find my stupid camera cord!

Ho Hum.

I am sorry for not posting, for those of you who actually read this.


Other than work keeping me pretty busy, there isn't much else going on.


Justin left yesterday to spend 5 days with his old friends from college in New Jersey and Philly, so I'm afraid that I'm actually pretty bored. Normally he keeps me pretty well entertained, and now that he's in another state, I'm finding that it's harder to pass the time!! :)


In the meantime, I'm also dog sitting for my parents, and I'm staying at their house with the 2 dogs. Bailey is WAY overactive, and poor Baxter can't really handle him for more than 5 minutes at a time. And I'm finding that I can't handle the 2 of them together at the same time!!! It's a mad house!

So, I find myself with two noisy dogs who have both finally calmed down enough for me to watch my Thursday night, line up - Bones, The Office, and 30 Rock. I'm off to enjoy them!!

Just some fun images on a quiet Thursday night...sorry they're small. Most of them are meant to be icons.

Or for those of you familiar (ok, obsessed) with Scrubs...
And those who have had the blessing of watching 30 Rock:

The Office on NBC

If you don’t watch it, you need to. I’m just having an “I’m just wishing I worked at Dunder Mifflin” day.

If you do watch it, did you see the hour long episode that aired after the Super Bowl on Sunday? WHOA…the BEST episode this season by far, and my personal favorite out of all 4 American seasons.

I haven’t actually seen the British version though. I’m actually not willing to, especially at this point. I’m afraid that I love the American version so much that I won’t like the British version.

If you’ve ever worked in an office setting, and especially if you’re working in one now, then you MUST watch this show. It’s like “Office Space” on steroids. And if you haven’t seen that movie, you need to take a few days off and CATCH UP!

After watching this show, especially a few episodes, you start to see people you work with in the characters. And I can’t speak for other people who watch it, but I get some good ideas on what I wish I could do at work (or to my co-workers *wink wink Jim and Dwight*). I understand that Michael is annoying and counter-productive, but who wouldn’t want to work in an environment like that?? I mean, you get paid to not work, while going on field trips and having parties almost every day? And if you did pretty much ANYTHING (again – watch Sunday’s episode online at nbc.com) at work, then you wouldn’t get in trouble! Talk about job security!

To clarify, I have not lost my job; I just sometimes wish I had a job like that!
