Reasons you know you are in "The Office"

This is the first of many joint Connor-Cory blog posts:

In honor of our mutual infatuation of David Letterman and The Office, we have decided to make a Top Ten style list of ways (we actually have 20) you can tell that you work at Dunder-Mifflin paper company.

You hear “That’s What She Said” more than you hear a phone ring.

Your boss wears woman’s “power-suits” to work.

You sell paper for a living.

Your top salesmen owns a bed and breakfast/60 acre working beet farm

One of your co-workers changed his name due to anger management issues

The way into the Regional Manager position is by winning “Beach Day”.

Two months ago your Vice President of Operations was a temp.

After 14 years of service to the company, the warehouse guys STILL make more money than your boss.

You come to work and find your desk in the bathroom.

After 3 years of working with the same people, you still have no idea what half of them do.

Your boss organizes stakeouts to prevent downsizing.

Your new HR rep is convinced that a normal employee is retarded.

“Movie Monday” is your boss’ way of increasing productivity.

After burning his foot on a Foreman grill, your boss is convinced he is disabled.

Your “Resident Senior” steals a co-workers wedding; flowers, design, dress, invitations, initials. Literally everything.

Your boss almost commits suicide…pretending to commit suicide.

The tough warehouse director plays a synthesizer in his free time.

You attend a mandatory safety training to become informed on the dangers of “carpal tunnel syndrome”.

Your boss insults the resident gay not realizing that he actually is a homosexual.

Your salesman occupies himself during meetings with the daily crossword puzzle.
