The Office

I heart The Office, and I have to say this past week's episode was pretty great. It was no match for the after-Super Bowl "Fire" episode, but it was still pretty solid.

**Spoiler alert: If you do not want to find out what happened this week, do not continue reading!

During this week's episode the members of The Michael Scott Paper Company return to work at Dunder Mifflin. Michael Scott starts off the episode with a meeting, which he called so that they can talk about things. Michael really just wants an apology for people not quitting their jobs to be with him. You have to love that.

The Casual Friday bit also provided some humor. Meredith's extremely inappropriate outfit made me cringe and laugh all at the same time. Plus, I loved Toby's khaki on khaki.

The final part of the episode was the best when Michael offered the sales rep job to Pam instead of Ryan. I thought for sure he was going to give the job to Ryan even though Ryan cost the company lots of money due to his crazy Web site. But even though Michael is besties with Ryan, Michael decided to give Pam a shot, which made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

My roommate and I have discussed why Pam left with Michael to form his company a couple weeks ago. To me, Pam obviously wants to move herself ahead in the world. Though she enjoys being the secretary/receptionist, she wants a job that makes her happier. She has the sales fire, and she wants to prove that she can do it. Now, Pam will get the chance to show what she's got. I just really hope she doesn't fall flat on her face during these next couple of episodes. That would break my heart!

Overall, this season has treated me well. I couldn't believe it when Michael quit at Dunder Mifflin, and honestly, I was slightly concerned that Steve Carell (who plays Michael) didn't want to be on The Office anymore. But now, he is back in the Dundler Mifflin office, and I'm sure he will be badder than ever. If he wasn't bad and pompous and slightly crazy, it wouldn't be The Office. Yay, Steve Carell, and yay, Office!
