[the] office

(aw-fiss) n. (1) an office is a room or other area in which people work, but may also denote a position within an organisation with specific duties attached to it¹; (2) headquarters of a wrestling organization²; (3) a rare example of fine television programming in this dark era of puke-inducing reality shows and painfully unfunny sitcoms, originally created by the Brits, but now made available to Yanks too

Just discovered that there exists a blog Schrute-Space created by Dwight Schrute, one of the quirkiest characters on the American version of The Office. It is not clear if it is actually written by Rainn Wilson (the man behind Dwight), but it's convincingly Dwight-ish. Here are some of "Dwight's" thoughts on winter taken from his January 18 posting:

PS. Thoughts about winter.

Winter is the coldest season. For a reason. The sun moves south, to warm up the Africans and the Australians and leaves us in the northern climes to fend for ourselves in the sleet and the frost.

He concludes his P.S. remarks with some Canada-bashing. Funny.

It seems like there is a real push to bring made-up characters on tv to life. It's not enough that we escape our real work lives for half an hour once a week to pretend that we are part of another one, but now we can continue pretending that our Office friends are real outside of that half-hour window. Now we can not only read the made-up profiles of these made-up characters of t.v. shows but read about their made-up thoughts on their made-up lives.
