Life In The Office

A few things:

• Tonight they are going to air the episode that was voted as the “Fan Favorite”. If you’d like to chat with other Office fans, GMMR is hosting a chat. You can read more about it here.




• Yesterday, LITO reader Ben sent in a link to an interesting article of Dwight/Rainn giving advice. It is called “Getting Ahead at ‘The Office’”
  

  And moving in the other direction, do you have any tips on managing from below?

  Keep the subordinates in line, use the carrot and the stick, but use the carrot like, the same way you would the stick.

  So beat them with it?

  Exactly.

• In another post, Sara commented about a Office calendar that you can buy here. That could be entertaining.

Have we got some fun videos for you to watch today. First up, the new webisode is up. They don’t interview anyone this time…just each other.

You can watch that webisode here.

But, that isn’t even the best video for your watching pleasure.

A few days ago I mentioned that the cast of The Office would be hosting the NBC Primetime Preview. Well, it looks like we don’t have to wait any longer. I couldn’t find these videos on the NBC site, but someone at the Live Journal Office Community posted them up.

The first video is here.

The second video is here.

Oddly, the third video of TV Show commercials starts with more commercials. But, it is right here

NBC is looking to have a pretty good line up. Of all the new shows starting up, I think that Heroes looks pretty good.

I was reading thru the latest post on Jenna’s Myspace Blog and I was excited to see one answer that we’ve all been wondering about. It reads:

Will Season 3 take place right where Season 2 left off? Or will it be like the next week or something?

Actually Season 3 will begin in real time. When the show returns in September, it will be September for the folks at Dunder-Mifflin as well.

This will make for a really interesting first show. My guess is that Jim took the transfer, then went to Australia for his trip. When he came back, he goes right to work at Stamford and has no idea whether Pam got married or not. He starts digging on the new girlBut, when the branches are combined, both Jim and his new flame are brought back to Scranton. This will all happen in the first episode.

That’s a good thing because I don’t know if I can find a Stamford Insider.

Any guesses from you fine folks?

My wife heard that Steve Carell had a part in the 1991 film called Curly Sue so we rented it to watch last night.

Sure enough, just 5 minutes into the movie a young waiter comes into the scene named Steven Carell. (That was also the name of the character) It’s about a thirty second part and his whole reason for being there is to go and fetch the chef. But it was still fun to see him.

Even though he was there in the first 5 minutes, we decided to watch the rest of the movie anyway. That movie was more entertaining than I remembered. I wish that Steve’s part was as big as his newest film that centers around a little girl, Little Miss Sunshine. I haven’t seen this film because I don’t watch rated R movies, but I heard that Steve Carell was really good in it. He’s certainly the hot actor in Hollywood right now.
