I like my job pretty much these days. I don’t think I’ll ever love a job — I’m just not wired that way (translation: “lazy motherfucker”) — but I like this one pretty good. Last Friday is a good example of why.

My boss and I are big fans of NBC’s The Office. We throw favorite lines back and forth and talk about what happened in last night’s episode and generally carry on like Office geeks. Because we are. So when episodes of The Office became available on iTunes, my boss ran right out and downloaded them to her computer.

So last Friday afternoon we’re sitting around talking about The Office and the phones are pretty quiet and there’s not much going on and we were talking about the previous night’s episode… And she says “Fuck it, come over here and let’s watch it again!” So I rolled my chair over next to hers and she fired up The Office on her computer and we watched it all over again. And when it was over, she wanted to watch another episode, too. And then when that one was over, a little after 5:00, she said “Go home.”

That’s the way to spend a Friday afternoon at work: watch your favorite TV show with your boss for an hour, then go home early.
