John The Prop Guy Steps Down
This is a sad, sad day for me. John The Prop Guy has decided to step away from The Office to return to his previous work. He said that it was hard for him, but the money was about double and it gives him more time with his family.
As of the first of the year, I quit my job at, “The Office,” to return to my previous position set decorating for commercials. When I took the job on the show, I was going through a drastic change in my contacts in commercials, and had to move on to television in order to keep my finances steady. This required starting at the bottom of the TV prop world for about a year. I quickly worked my way through a number of canceled series and gained a great reputation around town up to the point where I was offered an assistant job on, “The Office”, so I took it. During the break, I went back into commercials and found I could re-enter that world back at my previous status and pay rate (which is roughly double) so I had to leave the show based on the fact that the money was better
Oh man, I am going to miss those blogs. I feel like we should have a funeral in a parking lot somewhere.

Definitely a big loss… he was a great source of info for us who always want the info behind the scenes…
First “Scranton Insider”, and now “John the Prop Guy”…
Brian, hope you got some new sources coming soon…!

I loved his blog. I am a big fan of that “insider” stuff and his contribution will be greatly missed.

His blog was more fun to read than anyone else’s, because you were able to watch the show again through “new eyes.” Maybe Jenna can talk his replacement into blogging as the “New Prop Guy”… or “New Prop Gal.”

Oh no. *sad*
Good for him, though, if it’s what he really wants to do.
