"The Office"

The Office is basically an extremely funny television series. Although it is humorous and exaggerated it illustrates many of the things not to do while at a job especially in an office. A camera crew has decided to film Dunder Mifflin paper company and its employees, seemingly around the clock. The presence of the camera is acknowledged by the characters. The main person in charge of the office is a  man named Michael Scott who in his mind believes others adore him, he wishes to impress the camera and fails at his attempts of being humorous. This man buys himself presents  in order to compensate for the lack of compliments he gets from his employees. He behaves in ways that are childish and absurd at his age. He has no sense of responsibility therefore, he manages to create more problems for himself by not completing the tasks asked to or by not completing certain duties as the boss of the office.

His employees all deep down know he is mentally ill, they feel pity for him but don’t speak their minds, in silence they hold their anger and annoyance. They know he is completely unpredictable so they are scared he will respond with a negative remark or end up firing them. The receptionist Pam Beesly, is a young simple and very timid girl who tries to blend in and do her job. Sadly Pam has to tolerate all her boss’s awkward and disturbing attempts to be funny. She is engaged to a man who doesn’t seem that interested in her; it almost looks as if it’s an effort for him to go visit her or to pick her up. Pam has an admirer at the office, his name is Jim Halpert. He is a young good looking man who serves as one of the secretaries of the office. Jim spends long hours staring at Pam and doesn’t back off because of the fact that she is engaged. Both Jim and Pam have a connection but they can’t seem to fully grasp it due to the hectic environment around them. Dwight Schrute is the assistant manager but often refers to himself as what he would like to be which is the “assistant manager”. Dwight often interrupts Michael when he is giving a speech or a meeting to seem as or more important than Michael at the office. For example when Michael was announcing the contraction of the office Dwight wanted to know before everyone else. Deep down inside Dwight probably wouldn’t mind switching places with Michael. Pam suspects Dwight and another office clerk named Angela to have something intimate going on but she only confesses this to Jim naturally, they are their own alliance since they have such good communication. There is usually a weird vibe in the office and the camera crew is always trying to get the scoop on things so they manage to put microphones on some of the employees and they try to film them through door cracks without being noticed even if it means invading others privacy.  The series is filled with weird, interesting, funny and stupid things that people actually do in real life while being at their jobs. Although most of the time their silly actions and comments don't usually make sense I can't seem to get enough of it, and I must admit reassured me to never do any of those things at any job I may have no mater how comfortable I may feel in it.
