With the powerhouse comedy network television show "The Office" premiering in its 5th season last night, I thought it only fitting and pop-culture enthusiast of me to watch six consecutive episodes on my couch alone the night prior. Alone, because if anyone were to ever see me they would sucker punch my social ladder for as long as they could. But not if they were part of the more than six million people who do the same thing any given Thursday during a season of the show. This was my attempt at understanding the popularity of such a ridiculous 30 minutes in a TV box.
The show's satire is so beautifully scripted by writer Greg Daniels, who adapted the show for the American audience. Each episode is so raw and blunt in making the art of degradation so okay and somewhat appealing. Why can't we all be like this in the workforce?
