"Doctor Reid, this is not 'Bring Your Problems To Work Day.' This is just Work Day."

I've fallen in love with The Office. Yes, I'm so totally uncool. I always get into things waaaaay late. Shut up.

I'd ask for fic recs, but I think er, my favoritest character is Michael and I doubt there are many fics out there that feature him. Heh. Although gen would be nice. No fluffy Jim/Pam. I mean, I do like what they're doing with their relationship on the show, but I don't think I'm shipping them? God, I'm weird lately. and I like Karen

HOWEVER, I must rec krabapple's Doctor Who/The Office crossover Plain White or Three Hole Punched. Rating is G and there is a nice bit of Doctor/Rose (excellent friendship vibes) and adorable Jim/Pam stuff. I love krabapple's Doctor voice like whoa.

Summary: Summary: Dunder Mifflin hires a new consultant and his assistant.

Snippet:

"He always says, 'That's what she said.'" Rose tells the cameramen and the interviewer in her next confessional. "I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. Is it an American thing?"

"Let me tell you, this early twenty-first century stuff is fascinating. Like those adding machines. Precursors to the intraflight navigational system. Fantastic," the Doctor says.

"Paper company. I love working for this company. Except, you know, you people really should stop using trees for paper. They're on their way to being sentient. Though I suppose you don't really work out the synthetic chemical paper compound for another eighty five years or so. Still. It's such a waste. But you'll get there." The Doctor pauses.

"Paper. Fascinating," the Doctor repeats.

*IS DED*

That is just supremely awesome. Go and read and love.

As I am being driven sllllllowly insane at work with doing not only the company holiday card list BUT ALSO my boss's personal holiday cards, about oh, 400+ cards. (And this doesn't include holiday gifts to clients/important business contacts and preparation for the office holiday party), I'm going to call today as Last Call for...

Holiday Cards From Me!

That's what she said.

Please fill 'em out if you haven't, and oh, I'd love to get a card from you, so please give me a link to your poll/post about cards if I haven't responded. :-) It shall make me quite giddy and I won't suffer a mental break dealing with all the procrastination at work.

You know, I've had the holiday card list of recipients prepared A MONTH ago? And it still hasn't been finalized? Such sweet holiday madness.

Ugh, god, office holiday cards. I've got to get started on that tomorrow. I just hate it--going through the addresses from last year, checking to see what's hcanged, add new customers, remove ones that have left, then I get to torment the guys I work with into sitting down in the office long enough to sign them all. Fun!

Best of luck.

Thankfully I don't have to get someone to sign the cards (OR they'd never get DONE for reals).

I mean, I've done as much as I can on my own, but it's maddening that my boss keeps on putting it off. I have to send some cards to other countries and they do take a while. Eep.

*shares your pain*

"Doctor Reid, this is not 'Bring Your Problems To Work Day.' This is just Work Day."

Heh.

Oh -- I think this reccing of fic would work better if you included a link.

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Hee, it's a good Kelso quote.

And D'oh! to the forgetting of the link. I am so very SMRT.

Ahahaha! *blushes*

Thank you so much for the rec! I'm so glad you liked it! *g* It's such a small audience for that fic, so every reader that gets converted makes me downright giddy.

And you're into The Office!! Yay! Though I am, of course, a hopeless Jim/Pam shipper, I am enjoying newly!single!Pam a whole lot. And I like Karen, too. She's cool. As long as Jim and Pam end up together, I'll be fine. I think it's too soon for the show to put them together, anyway.

I love Michael, too. Because as crazy and insensitive and outrageous as he is, I really think his heart's in the right place, that he's a basically good guy. It always amazes me how the show, after showcasing Michael's crazy antics, can also make me genuinely feel for the guy, and know he's just trying to get along and be a good boss and person the best he knows how. Even if that means turning into Prison Mike and going on about Dementors. *g*

I bet writing for him is a blast. He was the hardest voice to pin down in that story, because he has no clue about 80% of what comes out of his mouth, or what it sounds like. The line I gave him about "being committed" makes me snicker every time, at least. Heh.

Anyway. The Office! Whee!

I'm contemplating more gen fic, probably Pam-centric, next. I actually think this fandom totally lends itself to gen, which is great. (I had applied for it for Yuletide, but got another fandom. Though hopefully I can do both. :))

Yay! The Office!

I actually read it before I saw an ep of The Office (besides the pilot ep, which I saw when it first aired). So I was a bit confused. But then I reread it after seeing some of S2 and S3 and now I am all LOVE about it. So clever and right.

I don't think that Jim/Pam will NOT end up together, but I am curious about what happens with Jim and Karen. Maybe because they are sort of doomed and Karen is in a Jim sort of position where she is more into Jim than Jim is into her. Also, she is seriously cute.

Michael bringing up Dementors? Oh my GOD. I was dying. Steve Carrell is so fantastic at being so clueless. Then he breaks my heart with one of Michael's hopelessly fragile lines, like how he's the lunch lady and that's okay, because in the 4th grade, he was best friends with the lunch lady, so everything's gonna be great. Oh, MICHAEL.

Honestly, the reason why I avoided The Office is because of The Office UK. It crushed my soul, S1 & S2. And I can't bring myself to watch the Christmas Special, even though it apparently resolves the Tim/Dawn relationship?

i am MOST PLEASED that you're into the office, and i love karen too. :)
