The Office: 10 Reasons Your Workplace Deserves Its Own Episode

You know your workplace deserves its own episode of The Office when:

1) As part of a Can Drive, there is a karaoke competition complete with dj downstairs in the auditorium. It lasts three hours.

2) Your boss sends out an email detailing his involvement next week in a program called PMP Training.

3) Your co-worker one cubicle over has a last name that sounds like Toaster Streusel and works the expletive “Shit!” into nearly every phone conversation, good or bad.

4) Your superior in the sales department dances in her office at your mere mention of Salsa music, then loudly requires that everyone gather round to watch.

5) You participate in a skit for Charity that involves dancing provocatively to Flo Rida’s “Low” while waving phony money at people in the audience.

6) Shorts Friday turns into Butt Cheek Day as a few misguided youths wear butt shorts to work in September.

7) The names of customer companies provide a continual source of merriment as you file away “Taynt Co.,” “Diggin Durty Inc.,” and “Phat, Ho.”

8) The company picnic happens during work hours, with a free lunch, free ice cream straight from a truck parked at the curb, and the results of a contest meaning 5 executives will get pies in the face.

9) Someone has written “feces” in pencil on the bottom of the list of non-recyclable garbage above the green bin in the workroom.

10) One of your co-workers continually tries to hook you up with an associate who lives in Michigan and has no idea who you are. She postulates about your future with him and whether he would move to be with you.

Number 9 cracks me up every time.I want to add something to it like... dead animals, ex-boyfriends, excuses.
I guess I'm the crazy person who finds pretty much everything that happens here hysterical.
