Angela, Pam and Kelly. Angela because I'm petite and blonde, Pam because I keep a lot of my thoughts about others I deal with at work to myself, and Kelly because I like to be girly-girl like and have fun.
Karen. I sometimes fall into hopeless situations and probably stay a little too long for the sake of "giving it a fair try." But then I have no qualms about cutting all ties, walking away, and getting a better opportunity. I can move to a new city at the drop of a hat. And if Jim ever tried to steal my xerox I'd see through it, too. I'm not one to fall for pranks.
I'm also like Phyllis (at least the Phyllis from the earlier seasons before that character became so wimpy). I'm older, I don't get lots of attention, but I have my moments and I'm very capable of manipulating people to get things done. And I'd plan better parties than Angela.

Just watched the show. Not bad. I hated seeing my favorite character Ryan melt down like that but very humorous. Andy's angle wasn't really funny. The store opening was where all the laughs were at. If ya'll see no point in Ryan's character you have GOT to hate Kathy. Adds NOTHING to the show.

Finally! A genuinely funny episode of the Office this year!
The parodies rang true, which is what made them funny. You can tell that the writers may not have ever worked in an office, but they've been to an Apple Store. Jim's "cosmic" speech was great (especially the jerky floating pyramid at the end). Dwight's attempt to start a "stampede" when the store opened was also good. Erin was very cute in her assignment to camp out before the store opened, and even boring Kathy was funny in her assignment to flirt with the bloggers. I liked the scene where Dwight got the VP position and got so excited about it. I even liked those dorky triangle fanny packs. Good place for pizza, I agree. Also the sign flipper at the end. Lots of good details in this episode.
The other plot line with Andy getting beat up by a little girl was dumb. They should have focused completely on the store opening. That's where all the laughs were.
I'm not sure how to explain it, but James Spader should have spent more time observing real CEOs to see how they act, what their body language is like, and especially how they interact with employees. Maybe it's his body language, but he comes across as a Hollywood Actor playing a role, not as a realistic CEO.
They weren't going for a relistic CEO, part of the joke was supposed to be how different and strange the guy is. Almost like a Jedi Corporate Knight.
It hasn't always come off as funny but that is what they were going for. It was a good bit when they were doing the interviews but I don't think it works long term.
No Office Episode next week because of a 2 hour episode of the CELEBRITY APPRENTICE
I hate when my favorite shows are pre-empted, especially for garbage reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice. UGH!
