Welcome to all newbies!!!

Hey all,
I have been lurking here and TWOP for all of season 3. You see I didn't discover this wonderful show until the summer hiatus between S2 and S3. Now I wish I hadn't at all. I am far too obsessed for it to be healthy. It is the only show I watch on TV other than my beloved Ottawa Senators. I should be clearer. It is the only show I have ever watched other than hockey. Since my discovery I am now the proud owner of the entire British version and S1 and S2 on DVD. Not to mention that I have the entire S3 in HD on my PVR. I am not used to the wait and see game that is TV.. it has **** near killed me. The boards and especially the posts by Scranton Branch have kept me going. You are all awesome. Keep it up. Most importantly GO SENS GO!!
Oh yeah... I am Mike from Waterloo, Ontario.... you know the home of the Blackberry!

Howdy Officianados! My name's Adam, and I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I go to LifeInTheOffice and OfficeTally all the time, but I've never been here before. I look forward to meeting you wall.

I run the website http://www.OfficeQuotes.us

As a shameless plug, you should check it out. Every Office quote, ever!

Thank You for posting that site and welcome
Too Late Kev
adamsblueguitar, I love your OfficeQuotes.us site. I have it consistently open while I spend way too much time on TWoP (and a little time here). People are also using it for hangman (quote) games (well, I am, anyway), and as a reference for writing fanfic and such.

I guess what I'm saying is that I love so much about the way you choose to be. You are all that is right with the paper industry.

I just can't believe it has come to this. I have been lurking for months and months but am compelled to come out of the Office closet. I have enjoyed reading all the comments and fun conversations.

Thanks scranton_represent and Too Late Kev! I really appreciate it.

Hello to everyone!! I just wanted to pop in to say a quick hello! Someone named "Cheeseburgr" over at YouTube asked me to stop by.

I am the Juleshortstuff of a certain Cheeseburger video that some of you might be familiar with.

Thank you to everyone who liked it!! I honestly had no idea it was even being linked to, until one of my friends sent me the link and I got that message on YouTube. tongue.gif I probably won't be online a lot in the next two weeks (stupid college classes... rolleyes.gif ), but I would really love to get to know all of you!! Please don't hesitate to send me a message or chat me up!

The_107th_Caller
I've been lurking for quite a while here, but have been waiting to see if I could get my name changed before posting (thanks again O-H for attempting to help), but I know the mods have much more important things to worry about, so I finally decided to just break down and start posting. (If my screen name does eventually get changed, I'll be "The 107th Caller" - chosen because I do, in fact, regularly listen to Rock 107.)

My name is Kelli, and I live about 25 miles NW of Scranton in one of those "blink and you miss it" small towns. I will admit to still being absolutely thrilled when I see the scenes from Scranton in the opening credits, and hearing all of the references to places that I know - ya think I'd be over that by now! Also - and this is a tad bit stranger - I must admit that I get a bizarre thrill out of the fact that in the opening credits, when the numbers are being put into the calculator, the first set of numbers, "9653," are so close to the first 4 digits of my phone number - 965-2*** - if only they had changed that 3 to a 2!!

I'm looking forward to finally posting, and hanging out with all of the great people on the board (especially scrantonbranch and her brilliant JP and PD!!).

only 2 more days for a new episode!

Well, I guess I should introduce myself, since I've started posting on other areas of the boards. I've been visiting these boards for a couple of weeks now, LOVING all the analyzing.

My name is Kara and I'm from Ohio... I started watching The Office because I loved Steve Carell and got hooked because I fell in love with Jim (who hasn't?!)

Oh man, I thought I'd have another week before the new episode, so I'M SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW!

That's all.

hey, what's up everyone. I don't really go on message boards, but I love this show and enjoy talking about it so I figured I would try this out. I'm looking forward to getting involved w/ the diff. topics.

Welcome everyone! I'm so excited about the new members. Hope to see you all online after the show tonight. smile.gif
What's the dealio?
Hello fellow office fans!
I have been reading posts here forever, but I could never get on! This is about my 5th screen name, and FINALLY, I am able to post!
I had picked the name Second Drink a while back, but was never able to activate it, and now I see that someone else has it. It was wierd seing someone post with that name, b/c I thought it was my name!
Anyway, I'm on now.
I love, love, love the Office.
I started watching during season 2. I didn't even know about the show, and I was looking through one night and ES was on. Micheal was doing something ridiculous, and I was like "What is this?"
I have been hooked ever since.
I love everything about the show, every character, every silent pause, EVERYTHING!
Oh, except Karen!
Sometimes when I go to work, I pretend like we are all characters from the office. I call my boss Micheal. He doesn't watch the show, so he's like WHATEVER!
Of course, I am Pam! But I don't have a Jim at my office!
One night, we had a lot to catch up on and my boss was making us work a late shift, on a Thursday night....I played sick so I could go home and watch the office!
Looking forward to chatting with you guys. And to meeting Jim.
Too Late Kev
Welcome, What's the dealio? Nice name. Plus, we can just repeat it to ask you questions... (As in, hey What's the dealio?, What's the dealio? Yeah, that's not gonna get old. wink.gif )

I know what you mean about the names. After lurking here forever, I finally signed up just so no one would take my name!
heinz303
I am yet another long time reader and first time poster! rolleyes.gif

Name is Jenna and I live in Ohio (close enough to beloved PA)... and in fact I have family around the Scranton area (who i plan to visit this summer just to fulfill my Office obsession).

I was super excited to discover how obsessed everyone else is because no longer do I feel obscenely odd... because by all means I have a "dump karen" playlist on my iPod which recently helped me win a first-place trophy in a 5K! I guess my anger just drove me success!

Look forward to chatting with all of you!
Fancy_New_Beasley
Hello! I finally decided to start posting because I needed some interaction in my JAM therapy! I spend way too much time on these boards... And yes, I spelled "Beesly" wrong in my name, and now I can't figure out how to change it, and there's probably another Fancy New Beesly so now I'm just the cheap knock-off... *Sigh* ANYHOO...

I am a "stay at home" mom to 2 sweet little boys, with #3 due in July. The "Stay at home" part is funny because I work 4 part time jobs (mostly from home) and run around like crazy trying to get stuff done, but that title sounds so relaxing and idyllic. I love scrapbooking (any kind of papercrafting, really), NPR and Thursday night TV on NBC! But The Office is my true love and I am obsessed, so these boards are good (or bad) for me. The fan vids are really getting me through the dry spell. Sadly, I have a part time job in the evenings right now and so I have to WORK tonight instead of watching the new episode! I am going to need Anger Management after punching some holes in the walls at work! Luckily my dear sweet sister (and fellow Office-aholic) will be taping it for me.

I guess that's enough intro. I'll share a funny story about my hubby & then wrap this up. He was laughing at me yesterday because I changed my computer desktop to a JAM photo. I said "Hey, it could be worse- it could be a photo of them kissing!" He looked at me funny and said "They've never kissed." HELLO! This is the man who's watched every single episode with me! I about whacked him upside the head! I'll never let him live it down. Obviously he doesn't pay attention (he's more into 30 Rock). Yeppers, the man needs help.

That's why I love this place. Support for my "habit". Duh, Pam & Jim not kissing... Good to know I'm not the only one obsessed. Welcome to you too, Too Late Kev. Saw you posting on JAM therapy. That's where I live.

Hey everyone---just joined today after lurking for months!

Every week I came up with a new screen name based on the episode and finally just decided to go with one from last night.

Disclaimer: I am a true JAM fan and I can't wait till Karen is gone.

Nice to meet everyone!

Hi All! It's good to be here! I love the show and especially this week's episode. Dwight talking about living on the farm and witnessing different types of animal sex was freaking hilarious. Also, if anyone is on myspace, Jenna Fischer keeps hinting at the upcoming Beach Day? episode as definately the one to see. What could she possible be hinting at? I don't want any spoilers, but I am sooooo sick of this JAM stalemate. Something's gotta give. rolleyes.gif

Welcome, UJHK! (Don't worry, everyone gets an acronym for his/her usernames wink.gif .) I agree, something Jammy's gotta happen soon, or I will punch a hole through the drywall. Try visiting the "JAM Therapy" topic on here. It'll help you. Trust me, it helps me. smile.gif

JAM therapy is also my favorite thread! Helps me get through the day...
jamsweetjam
Hi - I am coming out of lurking to introduce myself also. I caught a few episodes in Season 2 and became addicted in Season 3. I now plan my Thurs. nights around The Office, have to see the episode realtime.

I find myself a true JAM fan also. It is fun to live vicariously through Jim and Pam, sometimes the things happening in their lives feel pretty true to life, especially when you can personally relate.

I really enjoy reading the boards and what everyone thinks about the episodes and speculation on what could happen in the future. It gives me a whole new perspective sometimes.

Looking forward to posting regularly and getting to know everyone!

Hey everybody! New to this forum but have never missed an epi of "The Office"! I usually *live* eat - sleep - breathe on a LOST forum, but thought it was time to come visit my other fave show forum.

...I wonder where *Dwigt's* ( biggrin.gif ) beet stand is, at the farmer's market or along the road where he can park his awesome red TransAm right next to it?

Thanks Bubblewrap,
Some moments of The Office that are fused in my brain:
#1, Michael chewing out Toby the HR director, "Why when I want to have a little fun you go and ruin it!.........I hate everything you choose to be..." I rewinded it many times!
#2, Dwight jamming out in the office's stairwell to rock music,
#3 Jim shutting down Roy at ball, that was beatdown!
#4 Jim kissing Pam after casino night, those naughty writers and producers, ending the season on that!! mad.gif ................ dry.gif

God beer me JAM!
Hello! After so much time spent haunting the JAM thread, I decided I just had to de-lurk! I'm a relatively new flan, I've only been obsessed since the beginning of Season Three, but I did sit and watch Season One and Two in a weekend, so I'm all caught up!
It's wonderful to find others that are just as "dedicated" to this show as I am; as I was reading the JAM thread today, there are plenty of others that wish their significant other would stop talking during the show. Don't they know what we could be missing? blink.gif Poor hubby, he finally got kicked out of the room...

Hello everyone!! I've been lurking for months on these boards. I've actually been trying to get registered all of that time, but for whatever reason, it didn't work. I'm finally in! I can't believe it! Love these boards and it's so great to finally be able to post!! biggrin.gif

I received Season 1 and 2 DVD sets for Christmas and have been hooked ever since. As you can tell from my name, I'm a big JAM fan. That's what originally drew me to the show, but I love everything about the show. So many great characters. But I must admit, right now, I'm obsessed with seeing JAM together soon!! Anyway, it is great to finally make my first post on these boards!

I've been lurking here on the boards for the past couple of months, and thought I'd go ahead and register so I can join into the conversations. smile.gif I've been a fan of The Office since Season 1, and I've gotten my co-workers and boyfriend hooked as well! (They all think I'm crazy though because I also keep them updated on the new episodes for the week, but it's fun getting into it.)
I can't wait for the next couple of episodes to see if we'll finally get some JAM at the end of the season! I'm hoping for a repeat of Casino Night for the season finale, but we'll see. Is it Thursday yet?! rolleyes.gif

BearsEatBeets, what a great name and great signature. Sadly, it is not yet Thursday.

You're lucky you got your boyfriend hooked. I have to settle for my husband being willing to watch it with me and (so far) not complaining about the amount of time I spend on the computer about it.

Welcome.

Thanks so much! It's funny when I quote lines from the office and he doesn't get it, and I just say, "Nevermind, it's from the Office." laugh.gif His response? "You're way too involved in that show." Is that possible? Hehee!

Monochrome
Hello, I'm a new member. -bad introduction-

I'm Monochrome Pen, and I've been hooked on the Office. I'm 15 years old and none of the people in my class watch the Office, so whenever I quote the show, they all ask me what I'm talking about. D: My favorite episode is 'The Dundies', and the episode that got me hooked onto the Office was 'Basketball'. Who doesn't love shirtless Dwight?

I can't wait for the next episode!
