Chan's Personal Blog

Over the last year or two, I consistently had people approach me and talk about The Office which apparently was one of the best sitcoms ever. I usually responded with a blank stare as I had never watched an episode. This is where people would be confounded, and wonder why I wasn't watching it, because apparently it was my kind of show. The short version is, during my blitz through academia, I didn't really follow any shows as I never had time. There's a good chance that if you named some movie between the years of 2004-2007, there's a high probability that I hadn't watched it. Academia was a very busy and anti-social stage of my life.

In either case, a few weeks ago, I was introduced to the movie Office Space by some rabid fans, and they forced me to watch The Office. I have to say, I'm hooked on the show. The Office just captures a lot of office related absurdities that I can totally relate to. I had come from a fairly dysfunctional office environment, with lots of crazy people, so watching this on TV brings back some horrible memories, which I look back on and laugh.

Anyway, Saturday Night Live had an awesome parody of The Office. I present to you, the Japanese version of The Office. It's funny because it's racist


I am working my way through Season 3 of The Office now.

I've mentioned my hatred of cellphones in the past, and this video just adds fuel to the fire.


I am definitely not keeping my cellphone in my pant pockets anymore.
