Up until now, if you wanted to actually have paper from Dunder Mifflin, the company made famous from NBC’s The Office, you would have to print out your own box labels and affix them to another brand of paper. Fortunately for those obsessive people who demand everything to be branded with a name they’ve seen on television, NBC has struck up a deal with Quill.com, a subsidiary of Staples, to sell official Dunder Mifflin paper.
No word yet on how it competes with the big office chains, but I hear their customer service is simply unbeatable.

Sauron has high expectations of us, and this new guy isn’t helping our billable hours. Yeah, he’s got some innovative ideas, but he isn’t a team player. It may be time to call in an outside trainer for some community-building activities. I know a guy at Greenstorm Films — you know, the people behind the Dora the Explorer spoof — who can help.

Does your boss insist that everybody in the office think of himself as a friend first, and a boss second? Do his attempts at humor often end up inappropriate or even downright offensive, yet without malice? You may be working for a "Michael Scott" – the kind of boss played by Steve Carell in the TV series The Office.
In the blog "My Boss Is Michael Scott," an office worker realizes that the company owner and boss is, in fact, so much like Michael Scott that working there is akin to living in the show (but with worse pay, I’m sure) and blogs about the experience:
After generously allowing us the right to work on the 3rd of July, Michael decided to celebrate by buying the whole office KFC. Never mind the two vegetarians in the company, they can make it on their own.
The sales people have no one to call because all the offices they would normally cold call are closed. The rest of the company slacks off excessively to meet with the sale’s peoples productivity levels.
Michael decides to give himself a pat on the back by allowing us an hour long lunch where we can watch a movie in the conference room with him. Naturally, he expects everyone to really love him for allowing us to work today, feeding us and giving us a longer lunch. Instead, I have chosen use the time to write about him on the internet.
Then with all of us sitting around wondering why we are even here, he leaves two hours early from work. Oh Michael, how does your mind work?

You guys are going to think all I do is watch T.V., between this post and my Lost post and my As Seen on T.V. post. I swear I do other things. I totally understand if you don’t believe me, though.
Anyway. Here goes: I kind of wish I worked at Dunder Mifflin. I love The Office. Although I’m pretty sure if I tried to put one of my co-worker’s staplers in Jell-O, I’d get written up for harassment and destruction of company property. And I so wish I worked with Creed.
My Office obsession has led me to look up random trivia about it, because that’s what I do when I get totally infatuated with something (don’t even get me started on Lost). I thought I’d share a few of those tidbits with you guys. We’ll start with my favorite:
-Tricked Dwight into going into the girls bathroom and “Saw Meredith on the can”.
-Dwight hit himself in the head with his phone (Jim put nickles in the handset to make it
heavier and then took them out when Dwight got used to the weight).
-Jim paid five dollars to everyone so they would call Dwight “Dwayne”
-Every time Dwight typed his name it came out as “diaper”
-Placed a bloody glove in Dwight’s desk, tried to convince him he committed murder
-By the end of the day Dwight’s desk was moved 2 feet closer to the water cooler
-Replaced all of Dwight’s pens and pencils with crayons
Of course, there is tons of Office trivia. But these are the tidbits I found the most interesting. So, for now, I’ll leave you with this:
