Dealing With 'Office' Withdrawals

Most of you know that we are quite devoted fans of "The Office" on NBC. We got way into the show while we were dating and have been struggling through the week ever since the writers ' strike took our Thursday night treat away. Many of Shane's work colleagues are feeling the pangs of withdrawal as well. So much so that they've begun to reenact "Jim pranks" around the office.

First, Shane's office typed up a fax for their deputy chief of staff out in Idaho from himself from the future.

Then, Shane (with the encouragement of the other DC staff) decided it was time to put his chief of staff's stapler in -- you guessed it -- Jell-O:



I guess if we had though ahead more we would have thought it out a bit more, since we didn't really consider how we'd get the Jell-O out of the pyrex without ruining it. (If only we'd seen this nifty instructional video sooner. Instead, it went more like this.) So, we left it in, rather than make a mess.

As it turns out, Lindsay still appreciated our amateur efforts:



For those of you non-Office fans who think we must be completely off our rocker, I refer you to this video clip (for some reason I can't find the American version, which is the one we follow, but the British version captures it well):

We're totally having Office withdrawals too! At least half of our conversations to each other involve Office quotes and lingo. We're such nerds! Thank goodness the strike is over!
