now that i'm a hard working, upper middle-class white collar employee of a workforce i can appropriately comment on office humor, or lack thereof. here at ion solutions we like to think of ourselves as the real world version of dundler-mifflen in our competitive market. we're a small, homegrown product that offers reliable, yet affordable services to our customers. the difference tho is in our characters. rob morley is michael - somewhat knowledgable while at the same time completely clueless and tries to cover it up thru loud, frequently obnoxious comments. robert attridge is the new guy. while robert is not new his personality differs not a lot from the temp on the office. my boss can be the black warehouse worker. annoyed and often irratible with dumb people, yet can share a laugh with friends. jan robertson is pam. she quietly goes about her business, but can be distracted. and me? well lets just say i'm jim to a T. handsome, cleverly witty, efficient, confident yet humble, romantic, deceptively intelligent, quick-witted, and the list goes on (for me, not jim). and dwight? well no one i've ever met comes close to being a dwight, so we'll leave his blank. i hope you all watch that show otherwise this post was a complete waste of time

cori: i love that show... its so stinkin the best. i watched it last week. the prison episode. it was hilarious. i heart dwight. what is your favortite? or top 3.
i need that humor in my life. i can semi-relate to the office because before i was confined and institutionaized to the home, i loved to go to work.
i would deal with the michaels, and pams. was i like pam? i don't know. all i know is i was a great employee, and a complete asset to the company. for all i did for them, i didn't get jack for pay.
i will never forget the lesson: don't count your chickens before they're hatched lesson. i got a notice saying i was getting like a $500.00 bonus. i went shopping, and spent most of it the night before on christmas presents for my family. i got nice expensive gifts for everyone. the next day at work, they told me the notice was an error, and that only full time employees get the bonuses. i was so ticked. i marched right up to the v.p. and slammed the door. not literally, but i was hot. he said, sorry, and sent me on my way. i crawled into my dad, (who worked there too,) and told him my dilemia. he handed over the cash, and said, next time, don't spend it until you have it. he had a great christmas. (he splurged for himself)...
