The Office Season up to date:
This season started out a little slow with the office gossiping and feeling the hits of the recession and Jim's promotion to co-manager(I am still uncertain how I feel about this).
The highlight of course was heading to Niagara for a Jam wedding complete with dance routine and so sweet.
The season hangs on to its upward momentum with a hilarious return to office humor with mafia and followed by surprisingly hostile episode The lover. Is anyone else tired of Pam being such a B!@*%^?
Next weeks episode is Titled Koi pond and finds are characters ready for spooky fun, along with this is the premiere of online web series subtle sexuality, check out some behind the scenes footage here: http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/video/clips/subtle-sexuality-behind-the-scenes/1168697/

Weekly Literary selection:
For all you Book worms and artsy types ( like myself) I have added the literary selection a featured poem, song,quote, verse limerick whatever, so send over your submissions and enlighten all of us.
This week I choose a selection from Michael's Jukebox a delightful creation by our own paper tiger:
to the tune of "September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire:
At last it's over- we've finally arrived in October,
Every Canton, Spokane, and Hilo-er,
Is back in their branch today!
Our branch was shuttered,
Against corporate we all muttered,
It was like being stone cold sober,
OLC took our threads away.
DMI- now it's finally over,
DMI- happy in October,
DMI- branches open any day!
We really missed you,
Hanging on the main boards just to see you,
OLC knew we would probe her,
"Will it be like it was in May?"
Now October- with a task that's a real frontal lober,
But the Schrutebucks will put us over,
The two thousand we need to play!
DMI- Hard part now is over,
DMI- happy in October,
DMI- branches back and here to stay!
