Office Recap: October 2008 Archives

Everything I know about work, I learned from Jim Halpert

| | Comments (0)

Last night's episode focused pretty heavily on office relationships with a minor story line about what happens when an office is broken into.

Here's what we learned:
If you're going to have surprise meetings in the stairwell after hours, make sure to lock the door after you leave.

Don't let your fiance's ex cause you to question your relationship.

Letting out the air in someone's tires to get their attention doesn't work unless they are going to see the car within the next few minutes.

So last night's episode of The Office taught us all about babies and baby showers.

Here are some quick take away points:

It's polite to hold showers at work, but it's really only necessary if an employee or their spouse is the one having the baby. No need to hold a shower for a employee's ex.

Super expensive strollers that promise various safety features probably hold up under normal circumstances. Being dragged behind a car however may cause damage.

I can't say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet money that practicing for a baby's delivery by birthing a watermelon (even one that is coated in butter to make it more realistic) probably won't prepare you for the actual event.

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of other good lessons, but those are the three that really struck me. Feel free to leave your lessons in the comments.
