I love the television show The Office on NBC. The humor in the Office can be enjoyed over and over again. That is why I am unveiling “Office Notes”. In these posts I will be posting some of my favorite lines from the show and in turn, uplift the lives of many of you. Without further ado, here are some of the best from episode 1 – the pilot…

Michael: Jim, now is the time to stop putting Dwight’s personal effects into jello.
Jim: Ok. Dwight I’m sorry, because I’ve always been your biggest flan.
Michael: [laughing to Ryan the temp] Ooooh nice! That’s the way it is around here, just kinda goes ’round and ’round and ’round.
Ryan: You should’ve put him in custardy.
Michael: Hey yes!!! New guy! He scores!!!
Dwight: Ok that’s great. I guess what I’m most concerned with is damage to company property. That’s all.
Michael: Pudding…pudding…I’m trying to think, what other dessert to do?

On not telling his employees about impending downsizing
Michael: Am I going to tell them? No, I’m not going to tell them. I don’t see the point of that. As a doctor you would not tell a patient if they had cancer.

Michael: [on the phone] Alright then, done deal! [mock English accent] Thank you very much sir! You’re a gentleman and a scholar. Oh…I’m sorry. Ok, I’m sorry. My mistake. [to the camera] That was a woman I was talking to…very low voice, probably a smoker.
Because something big might be on your horizon. What would you say to moving up from a Band Manager to an Office Manager…or a Regional Manager of a small paper company if you will? That’s right rumors floating around have Murray Hewitt, aka Rhys Darby in real life, up for the role of Michael Scott’s replacement in NBC’s sitcom “The Office”. Will it be any good? Well the show has more than run its course and most fans are ready to just give it up. That said, Rhys might be the only person outside of Ricky Gervais himself that can be as awkward as Steve Carrell so who knows. Stay tuned…
