I feel as though they're trying to put together every wacky combination of employees possible. Not that I'm complaining, since it's worked out pretty well so far (Business Trip, anyone?)
This does sound a bit like a Business Trip retread, but since I enjoyed it the first time I'll keep my hopes up. It does sound like the worst combination to take to a shareholders meeting though.
I have the night off So I will get to watch all my Thursday Shows this week. Also my computer is dead so I won't be on here much if it all any more. I know you are all crushed.
That is both good news and bad news, then. Did you work the Colts game last night?
I am very interested to see how they continue with the "DM is in hard times" plot, especially at a shareholder's meeting.

Could this potentially be the end of the show? I guess there are worse ways to go out. It has to end sometime.

I had this thought too, that maybe this is the last season but they aren't announcing it. That would involve a lot of people keeping secrets though so I doubt it's true.
No I was at my other job. I work for Sony packaging DVD's and CD's for the time being. We just had to redo a million and a half Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince DVD's and a million and a half Hangover DVD's because of bad media.
It means the companies that send the files to us sent it wrong and someone didn't check it before putting it on a million and a half dvd's.

I really doubt this for a number of reasons. First of all, it has the best ratings of almost any show NBC has right now. Also, I think Steve Carrell is signed through S7 and the rest of the cast through S8 and I can't see them paying those salaries without getting a show out of them.
I have a feeling that, given the weight that NBC puts on The Office, we're gonna know two years in advance of when this show is ending. It's not going to be a surpise.
Wonder if those contracts have cancellation clauses.
I'm not sure what sort of ratings disaster would have to occur for them to cancel it in a year or two. Of course this is NBC we're talking about.
How is it that Comcast is buying the network from GE and he's still not losing his job?

What the what? Seriously?
My guess is Michael thinks he's bring honored, but this is really a closing ceremonies of sort for the failing company. (I'm usually wrong on my pre-show guesses, though)
