 My favorite TV show is "The Office".  The Office is set in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The comedy is set at the Scranton division of Dunder Mifflin, a failing paper firm. Michael Scott, the regional manager, Dwight Schrute, the top salesperson, Jim Halpert, the office "funny-guy," Pam Beesly, the uneasy receptionist, and Ryan the quiet cool guy, are the main characters.

The show provides white-collar comedy by creating amusing, relevant plots out of daily workplace issues. Through its sarcastic and perhaps unrealistic representation of office life, The Office makes viewers reflect on their own office life. Lagging sales at Dunder-Mifflin Scranton are a constant threat to the branch's survival. Jim, an underutilized salesperson, discovers that a corporate branch manager is just as interested in a video game as he is in selling paper. Ryan, a hopeful temp worker, rapidly learns that his supervisor knows little about modern business. "This is a run-out-the-clock situation," Stanley Hudson tells a coworker about his attitude to the workweek.

    This is a really good blog post. I enjoyed reading your blog post. I have seen the office before it's a really good movie.

    I didn't realize the symbolism here. That gives you something to think about! It's a really good show, but most people don't see the importance of it in our own lives.

  "What will your verse be"? A simple verse within a lifetime of things I hope to accomplish.  My verse will be filled with all of my loved ones by my side, and the accomplishments we've achieved as a group will be measured by how much we've assisted one another. Whether these loved ones are my immediate family or friends, I want them to look at me and honestly believe I had a positive influence in their lives. Whether it's helping my sister with her basketball practice or helping her major lifetime decisions.  I'm always willing to provide a helping hand. My parents taught me how to be selfless, to think of others and always help out someone in need. I care deeply about my family and friends' happiness and success, and I will do everything I can to help them achieve their goals. Because I know God has a plan for everyone, my verse may not be what I anticipate it to be, but I will make the decision not to be alone. I will make people happy and have a signi

       "The Untraveled Path" George Harrison's song and Robert Frost's "Any Road" Both the poem and the song, as their titles imply, are about the road, which is a metaphor for our life's journey. "Two paths diverged in a wood, and I— I chose the less traveled by, and that has made all the difference," writes Robert Frost, whereas George Harrison asserts, "If you don't know where you're going, any road will lead you there."  The symbol of a road has typically been used to represent life's journey. It does, however, represent both the route and the goal. The poem's prevalent interpretation is that Robert Frost pursues one of the two paths he portrays. The title, on the other hand, emphasizes that Frost did not travel along any of the routes listed. Instead, he takes the middle road.  "And sorry I couldn't travel both/ And be one traveler," he says at the opening. His initial judgment is that it isn't p

       When I was six years old, I played on my first baseball team. That’s when I fell in love with the sport. Until I was eighteen my life revolved around sports. While in Middle school I started playing football and basketball. From the time I was ten I played sports year-round. When one sport season ended another started for me.  I played not only for the love of the games but for the competitiveness and the happiness that winning brought me. Most athletes probably will not admit that, but I will, winning was and is important. Loosing wasn’t an option for me and because of that I never walked off a field or court without knowing I gave everything I had and did my absolute best.  That was very important to me. Playing sports, I made great, life-long friends. Being part of team taught me how to work with a group of people, being part of an organization and how to fight through adversity.  High school sports put a lot of pressure on athletes to do well, especially male athletes.   Fri
