Don't Worry, Be Happy


My favorite show: The Office. I've started putting people into two categories: people who like The Office, and people who don't. I seriously reconsider friendships with the second category.
Ha! I'm partially kidding. But I will definitely question your sense of humor if you tell me you don't. A couple of years ago I made my family watch it with me, and they didn't like it. It was devastating. This episode from last week cracked me up the entire time. And sadly enough, reminded me of my own work life a little bit.

Michael: How late are we gonna work tonight?

Gabe: You never know with Jo. Sometimes we're here to midnight, sometimes she doesn't show up for three days.

Michael: Why does she do that. Why doesn't she just tell you what your schedule is.

Gabe: Yeah, that'd be awesome. I could get a girlfriend! I wouldn't have to go to Amsterdam seven times a year. But, uh, I'm young. Right? I will date when I'm dead!

Kevin: Just because Jo has no life, does not mean that the rest of us don't have lives. Oscar, has a life. I think Ryan has a life. This is outrageous.

Michael: Did I mess up my career today? My future prospects at Sabre, I dunno, there is a chance, yes. I'll tell you what I love my job. But Jo wants me to put on a show for her and pretend to work late? I spent all day trying to make her like me that I forgot to ask myself something, do I even like her? As the Irish poet Bobby McFerrin said, don't worry be happy.
