I've been watching since March of 2005. I own all the seasons. I can quote it word for word. It's the only show I watch on network t.v.
In fact, in 2007, I spent money I didn't have to go meet the cast in Scranton. It was the first ever Office Convention and I'm quite proud to say that I was there.
The money I didn't have part came in the form of a credit card. A credit card that my husband just finished paying off last year. I do find irony in that he paid off the "wild and crazy" times I had in college.
Please don't mind the crazy red-eye. It looks worse when I try to fix it.

But you're not here to read about my hair...
The Office was the first show I ever watched with my parents. We all got such a kick out of it.
My mom particularly liked Michael's relationship with Toby.
That's my favorite line in 9 seasons.
"Assistant (to the) Regional Manager" will never get old.
And "that's what she said"? I randomly apply that to many situations. Usually in my head, though. Especially if I happen to be at school.
I heard there were shirts out there that say, "That's what he said" and I kinda always wanted one.
Then again, I want this shirt too, so clearly my taste in screen-printing is mildly inappropriate.
Dwight still cracks me up, and I think he'd make a great partner in the upcoming zombie apocalypse (If you still don't believe it'll happen, I'm sure you'll be the first to go).
So all of that is why I'm sad it's going away. I never envisioned it actually ending. My favorite seasons were 2, 3, and 5. I still need to buy season 8...and the first 2 episodes of season 9 haven't been bad...
However, there's stuff I don't like about it now.
I could not stand Robert California. And Nelly? Is she for real? I wish she wasn't. She's the stupidest thing to happen to The Office since...Robert California.
The Will Ferrell thing was annoying too. Annoying, but blissfully temporary.
I know everyone thinks it went downhill when Michael left, and that probably was a cause of my current lack of interest. But I think I really lost interest after Jim and Pam became all domestic. I started getting bored right after their wedding, though I admit, I totally cried during that episode and still do when I watch it. (We watched that wedding episode from somewhere in Canada, as we were moving to Alaska at the time.)
Wanna know something interesting? Scott hates The Office. I always assumed "loves The Office" would be a condition in my marriage vows. He, ironically, really likes anything with Steve Carrell, but won't watch The Office.
He does like the "she ain't yo ho no mo" line from the Christmas episode of season 3.
Are you sad The Office is ending? I hear there's a spinoff about Dwight in the works. I'd watch that.
