Where is the Office?

I am getting quite frustrated with NBC Thursday nights. This writers’ strike has gone on long enough. I already know these episodes, and I can recite each episode line by line. When will it come back? However, there is a major distraction this time of year that helps me to deal with my lack of Michael Scott… Christmas. Not only is our office holiday party coming up this saturday (Yes, too close to Christmas) but I am not finished Christmas shopping. Can you say, “Stressed?” If you are like me, you end up shopping for Office Products, 10x more than actually consumer products. That is why this year I am buying most of my family and friends, products like Day Planners, Calendars, Label Makers, and Small Shredders. Is this so wrong? I am just curious if I am the only one who does this.

We’re Upsizing!

So they announced that our “Scranton branch” closed today. All of the employees from there are moving to my location, which will expand into a building next door. It’s been pretty exciting to get all their office stuff. They have a laminating machine that they are bringing from over there, and my goal is to convince them to put it right next to my cubicle. I have dreamed about having a laminator ever since third grade when my teacher laminated everything in the classroom. Something about laminated paper just makes me happy.

The Office, My Office, Your Office…

So this is my first post on my new blog. I will start by explaining who I am. Basically, I am a real live character from The Office. I work in an office, and my days consist of your basic paper pushing activities, much like the show. I am sure that there are many out there who can relate. I realized that I am not the only one who says, “That is sooo how my work is,” so I decided to start this blog where I can relate to others who feel the same way. I plan on not only posting my experiences, but also putting in my 2 cents worth of expertise on a fine tuned office. I am the one responsible for buying supplies and equipment, planning office events, and saving money. I can’t exactly share who it is that I work for, but that shouldn’t matter much.
