Office Politics
Well, I finally did it. I sat and watched an episode of The Office. OK, so I didn’t really watch the whole thing, but I did watch part of it. See this is what happened. We were all sitting around and decided to watch the first season. So we’re watching the pilot ep, and the other people with me (my husband, my mom and my friend) were all laughing at stuff and I sat there thinking “what’s so funny?” Then I started to cringe a little, cause it just got more and more embarrassing and I hate to be embarrassed or to be around people who are embarrassing.
I don’t know, maybe if it had a laugh track it would take away some of the awkward feel. I just got more and more uncomfortable and finally, I left the room. I did come back when they put the second ep on, but again, I kept hiding my head so that I wouldn’t have to look at all the embarrassing and uncomfortable stuff they did. I wanted to watch it. Really I did. I wanted to see what people think is so funny, but suddenly, I just wanted to get away from it.
Maybe I’ll try it again. Someday, when The Office is on, I’ll sit quietly, all alone, and watch it. It’s possible that it was made more embarrasing for me by the fact that other people were in the room. I’ll give it another shot. Someday.
But honestly, I don’t get what people think is so very funny about it.

Boo! The Office is funny! You have to watch some of the new episodes… they’re funnier. Still awkward though.

The hubby looks like Steve Carell so naturally I have never watched this show.

Well, we’ve got Season 3 now, so maybe I’ll give it another chance. As soon as I get over the uncomfortable creepy feeling it gave me.
