Third Blog; The Office

"The Office" is about a paper supply company, Dunder Mifflin, located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The boss, Michael Scott, is an immature yet hilarious character played by Steve Carrell. He is in charge of the office however he runs it with no jurisdiction or structure. Anything he wants to do, he does. The company consists of Pam, who is now married to Jim. They are perfect for each other because they can joke around and play pranks on their coworkers, but they can also be serious with each other. They are on the same level all the time. Pam and Jim had the perfect wedding ever (and I'm not going to lie, I hope my wedding will be just as amazing).
Dwight is currently in a plot with Ryan to rid out his enemy, Jim. Jim is constantly pulling pranks on Dwight, which is another reason the show is comedic. Some of these pranks include Jim moving Dwight's desk to the men's bathroom, Jim dressing up as Dwight and mocking everything he does, Jim put Dwight's stapler in Jello, Jim convinced Dwight it was Friday when it was really Thursday, Jim sent faxes signed "Future Dwight" on Dwight's own stationary, and several other hilarious antics.
None of the events that occur in the office could ever happen in real life. The show takes place in a legit office setting, however the characters make it more hysterical than realistic.
This week's episode was about Valentine's Day. A character in the show called Andy likes the receptionist, Erin. Andy and Erin do not convey their emotions well. They like each other but they both think the other person is going to make the move first. Andy sends Valentine's cards to everyone in the office hoping Erin will get the hint, but Andy sends a more intimate card to Kelly, another character, who he does not have feelings for at all. Everyone's wires get crossed, but in the end Erin realizes Andy does not like Kelly, and is still clueless to the fact that he likes her. Meanwhile, Michael and Jim battle out the position of manager since now only one of them is allowed to be the boss. Before, they both were co-managers.
