THE office?

so, i work in an office, right? right. but sometimes, it feels like i work in “THE office.”

as i was sitting at my desk today, i came up with a few ways my office job is like “the office.” (this probably won't make sense if you haven’t actually seen the office…)

1. i have a fake tree by my desk. (enough said.)
2. the receptionist has a candy dish at the front desk at all times.
3. i go to tons of meetings every week (only most of these are actually important meetings – not meetings for “movie mondays” or “diversity day.”) :)
4. at an all-staff meeting last week, they announced the birthdays for the month of june. (and all i could think was “c’monnn dowwwn, meredith!”)
5. for pete’s sake, there is even a woman named PHYLLIS that works in my department!

ha, i love it! i’ll think of more later… (sometimes, when i’m bored at work, i think of office references... and then laugh about them... to myself. the other day, i wanted so badly to answer the phone, “dunder mifflin, this is blake.” but… i didn’t.)

of course, i thought the office was hilarious before, but now that i’m actually working in an office (my first time), it’s SO much funnier. (of course, my days would be far more amusing if we had a michael or dwight in the office… aaand i wouldn’t argue if a little jim halpert was thrown in, either…) ;)
