We did, at our “the office Season Premier Party”! Jen and I have been huge office fans for a while so we knew we had to do something special for the new season. So we invited a bunch of friends over to watch the DVR’d version of the season premier on a projector on the living room wall. Oh yeah, we asked our guests to dress up as their favorite office character, here’s the pictures to prove it:
Kevin & Christie as: Kevin and Karen (Jims old girlfriend)
Jen as: Angela
Tim as: Roy (Pam’s old boyfriend)
Jamianne & Karl as: Pam and Jim
Jake as: Mose (Dwight’s Cousin)
Yours truly as: Michael Scott (in the women’s power suit and all!)
We did a Diversity Day seminar…
Us getting ready to watch the show.
And the show begins as Michael Scott shows us what he’s so excited about coming home to, let the laughter begin!
Quotes of the night?
- Creed: I’ve been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.
- Michael: I am taking responsibility and it is up to me to get rid of the curse that hit Meredith with my car. I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.
-
- Michael: Ok, I have an announcement.
- Oscar: You pushed Darryl out the window…
- Phyllis You shot Dwight…
- Michael: Ok, that is not funny. I love my employees even though I hit one of you with my car for which I take full responsibility.
-
- Toby: Where are we?
- Kelly: I dunno, like 5 kilometers from the office?
- Toby: He couldn’t have made it a circle?
-
Michael: I’m very fast. I’m like Forest Gump except…I am not an idiot.
-
Michael: So Ryan got promoted to corporate where he is a little fish in a big pond, whereas back here in Scranton, I am still the top dog in a fairly large pond. So who is the real boss? The dog or a fish?

Alex - Have you ever seen the original Office (the British version with Ricky Gervais)? I’ve you like the US version, you will love the UK version.
Anyway…I thought the premiere was just brilliant. Funniest moment of the night:
Michael:”This is the face of rabies” (as he unveils a picture of Meredith)…does it scare you? It should. It scares me.”
Absolutely brilliant!
Fun night… Karl and Jamieanne could be stand ins for Pam and Jim…. thanks everyone for coming!
This party was awesome! Thanks for putting it on
And wow… my eyes look scary in the pic of Karl and I. Maybe I have rabies…
I missed it!! I was at our life group!!! Okay Jamieanne looks so much like pam…FREAKY!!

[...] I used to never watch TV. Now they put TV on the internet and I’m a total Office/Heroes/Last Comic Standing junkie. It’s Alex’s fault for getting me hooked on the Office. [...]
[...] here we are, the day we’ve been waiting for! Last year we celebrated this monumental event with a party. This year, I watched The Office at home on my laptop, and Jen watched it in Catalina on her laptop [...]
