They say the first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem. So here it goes. I am an addict. An Office addict. One might say that I practically eat, sleep, and breathe the Office. I know there are many more out there like me, or perhaps some that have worse afflictions, so I speak with all Office Addicts in mind- Enjoy.
When did I first realize I was becoming hopelessly addicted? Maybe it was when I began quoting lines from the show regularly? Was it when "that's what she said" became a reflex? Perhaps it was when my friends and I began using "shun, unshun, and reshun"? It could've been when I watched episodes repeatedly, or when I hungrily searched for any video, newspaper, magazine, or internet link that had to do with The Office. It is hard to tell for sure, but at any rate, I figured out by now that I'm an addict. Have I tried kicking the habit? Well, that would be like Michael being good friends with Toby, or Todd Packer not being a jerk. Impossible! As I expressed in a recent pick I made, I would rather watch The Office than have $10,000. That is what I call an expensive habit.
