Lessons From "The Office"

Ethan and I love watching The Office.  Even with the changes this last season leaving a few episodes that weren't as funny, we still tune in every Thursday night.  What's even better is the seasons are available for streaming on netflix.  Guess what I watch in the middle of the night while Jackie is nursing.

I've decided there are some very important things to learn from life around the office.  Especially since I spend my working days in a classroom (which also has things to learn from...but that's another post sometime).  Here are just a few of the fun things I have learned from the Office!

~  If you carry around a cup that says "World's Best Boss" people will eventually believe it.

~  Bears eat beats.

~  If you are getting married and your bride freaks out because things are going wrong, just cut off your tie.

~  Waaaaassssssuuuuppp!

~  Anytime your coworker agrees with you that it is Friday...double check that it is really Friday.

~  The smell of up-dog can be anywhere. 

(If you just asked yourself "What's up-dog"  you got the joke!)

~  Anyone can feel special when they win a Dundee

~  Christmas is the time to give gifts that show someone how you really feel. Unless, they end up with an I-Pod and your teapot gift ends up being used as a sinus rinse.

~  Dating in the office is encouraged.

~  Women are like wolves.

~  Wearing a tuxedo to work is classy.

~  When debating whether to get new chairs or a new copier, have the security guard settle the dispute.

~  A good boss avoids conflict, but when solving conflicts between coworkers always go for a "Win, win, win" option.

~  Alcohol always makes office parties more fun.

~  Everything is funnier stuck in Jell-O
