Ok, so if you havent heard the news, i will lay it out here-


"Beginning this fall, viewers will be invited to experience "The Office" in a whole new way. There will be a multitude of interactive features, one of which will encourage users to "work for" Dunder-Mifflin. Recruits will be asked to create their own branches and complete weekly corporate tasks. Local "branches" which successfully complete tasks may be integrated into an on air episode of the show. Additional content will be made available on many platforms, including interaction with unique mobile content, a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) site and significantly increased original content on NBC.com."


OK?

So, I intend to assemble a team to destroy all competition. I would like to extend to all of you the opportunity to join my team. Now, if any of you have any doubts as to my leadership ability, please look back to the last posting war and look at who go the job done. Also note that i am a Generalisimo, and that title takes alot of leadership.

So here and now i would like to extend to all of you the opportunity to become members of my branch. I will chose a number two and a secret assistant to the regional manager. Both positions will be posted.

I promise fair pay and i have already chosen the gold plan for health care, so....


Please Put you name on this sign up sheet.

I'm certain that Roy will also guarantee that all Canadian staff will receive full Canadian health benefits, hospital coverage not paid by OHIP or similar, paid maternity leave (up to 10 months - and women are guaranteed their jobs back, or an equivalent job paying the same salary / wage), Canadian statutory holidays (like Boxing Day and the May two-four weekend just passed), etc., as mandated by Federal law here, and that we don't get stuck with the 2nd or 3rd rate offerings that most US workers get. Also, please note that Ontario is discussing a plan to raise the provincial minimum wage to $10.25 an hour within a couple of years. Note also that smoking is prohibited in all federally-regulated buildings and industries.

P.S.: OHIP is the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. Membership is mandatory, and premiums are financed by an employer payroll tax. My company also pays 90% of all prescription drugs, 50-90% of dental costs (employee option), and a number of other things. The "gold plan" for health care as Dwight set it up isn't gold here; it would be more like something growing on my shower curtain.

Forewarned is forearmed, after all. But I have enough problems with just two. wacko.gif

But I'm certain that Canadians won't be eligible, so this is a moot point anyway. Sigh...

I make a good receptionist ( in real life) So if you need/want me on the team I would be happy to do so!!


I had heard there was going to be a new chat option from NBC and posted a question on the chat thread to which QOE responded that she'd seen this not chat related.

The Survivor game was a fun game for a week, and then it turned bad. It's not safe to talk about it in public. We should speak in private, perhaps in a closet. Anywhere dark with a lot of walls.

OK, I'm not worthy to compete, let me say that up front. I'm not competitive, I'm not techno-savvy, and I'm way too...."nice", "sensitive"....whatever. I'd be eaten up in no time flat.

BUT, I'm applying for team cheerleader. Or mascot, I'm mascot-sized. Or Team Mom who cooks all pre-game Sloppy Joes. Because I'm impressed by the idea and the list you have going and I really want you guys to show all other Office flans who's boss!

Go Team Anderson! Or Team Office Board Flans! (you guys need a name).

I heartily agree. If there is some intrinsic reason Canadian flans cannot participate (NBC policy or whatever), then that should be explained. Otherwise, please, let's welcome everyone, even those who may reside in Canada, a country I just picked randomly off the top of my head without thinking.

The reason that i am excluding Canadians from my branch for a good reason. That reason is all Canadians are spies.

I'm not on the team but I can be an alternate. And I live close to Canada. Sort of.

I can try to keep them out. Or let them in. Whatever you decide.

Wow. I see what you mean. But I have a suggestion. They know they're spies. And we know they're spies. But they don't know that we know they're spies.

And that gives us an incredible advantage. We can let the Canadians be on our team, but we feed them disinformation, see? Then they go back to their real teams and unknowingly mess them up. It's sabotage. The ancient Dutch art of screwing up your own team. And they will be the ones doing it.

Let's go for it, eh?
