The Office.

The Office is a U.S. 'mockumentary' that depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dundler Mifflin Paper Company. The Office, is based on a U.K. version of the show, named the same thing. The comedy was created for american audiences who enjoy a good laugh. The series is filmed as if it were a true documentary, with a single camera set-up and no studio audience. The series is witty, awkward and perfect. If you have not yet seen the cubicle based comedy, you are seriously missing out. The awkwardness of The Office makes you laugh hysterically, cringe, giggle, and think. It's a perfect blend of comedy, love interest, awkward humor and originality. The boss of the Dundler Mifflin Paper Company, Michael Scott, is a how-to guy, with many crude, yet hilarious anticts that make his office staff love, and hate him. The series has many witty and relatable situations. The show is best viewed at hours at a time, because once you get a taste of the series you'll need to see hwat happens next, so curl up with some popcorn and enjoy the comedy that makes you cringe!

Number 72

I hate working at a clothing store. I used to work at one and i really disliked it. Firstly, I usually worked alone, so it would become extremely boring. Secondly, nobody would really come into the store, so I would be alone in this tiny boutique for 8 hours, doing nothing. The owners of the store always told me to push clothes onto customers, make them look at our new merchandise and whatnot. I disliked being so pushy and I felt super intrusive. When people tried things on my bosses would always tell them how 'fabulous' they looked, even if they looked bad. My bosses didn't like me too much either...mostly because I liked letting customers wander around the store without following them, and I let them try things on without putting my two cents in. I dreaded going to work. I realize that selling things, and working in places like a clothing store, is not for me. I didn't enjoy being there, It was a job I truely disliked. I didn't like dealing with cranky people, and pushy bosses. That is a job i rally disliked, and I don't think I would ever do that again.
