“My name is Susan and I am an Office-aholic”

Hubby says I have an addiction. It’s started to show. Other people are seeing the effects. And it has taken over my life (or at least my evenings after a certain Princess goes to bed).

Since the end of June, I have watched every episode of all four seasons of the American version of “The Office” at least once, some twice. I spent several beads and conch shells renting Seasons 2 and 3, only to find out that disc 4 of Season 3 was nowhere to be found in the metropolitan area (sorry to add to the shrinking ozone by driving allover to find it, but I told you, I have an addiction). Apparently, there are others who share the same addiction but feed theirs through unethical means of ownership like keeping videos until they’re charged for them. (Sure, Red Box is great, but where is “The Office” in that little crimson kiosk?)

I went fairly haywire when I discovered “Casino Night” had disappeared from the DVRed episodes I was beginning to collect. What – we erase “Casino Night” and keep “Shrek the Halls” Christmas special?

I have already planned a watch party for the one-hour Season 5 premiere of “The Office” on September 25. I’ve invited some mildly addicted friends and am anticipating the laughs… Greg Daniels, don’t let me down. (Office Trivia game)
