Probably because of the whole Jim/Pam slowly budding romance - I get emotionally invested in tv shows. And also, it's funny. It makes me laugh even as I cringe. And the Jim on Dwight pranks are sometimes just so perfect (i.e. the fax from the future).
Regardless of why, I. love. the office.
I have found that there is a moment from The Office that relates to almost any real-life moment. I am constantly interjecting "Oh! That's like that time on The Office when..." into conversations. I have learned to ignore the eye-rolls.
I also LOVE sharing the things I love with others. I am a firm believer that humans are made to exist in community, in fellowship, with other humans. So I love it when my friends love the things I love. The joy of watching The Office is enhanced when I can watch it, or at least talk about it, with other people. It strengthens the bonds between us, however superficially, and may even bring nuances of the show to the attention of either party.
All this to say that I'm quite excited that some friends of mine have been bitten by The Office bug and are devouring the episodes as quickly as their busy lives allow. Looking forward to some great, hilarious conversations!
