spinchange, on 03/24/2008, -1/+24A Michael Scott management or "leadership" book would be so awesome
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -0/+8"Dwight Schrute's Guide to Awesome Sales!"
- schizogony, on 03/24/2008, -0/+9"Pam Beasley's Tips for Better Reception"
- brundlefly76, on 03/24/2008, -1/+2I wish I worked at US News and World Report, so I could have a three-way with Liz Wolgemuth and Kimberly Palmer!
  yikes
- raynar, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Attention everyone, I am awarding one Schrute Buck to spincharge.
LewP, on 03/24/2008, -2/+4Great post... ummmmmm, yeah.
Mrdudeperson, on 03/24/2008, -1/+3Hate to say it, but not all of my job problems have been solved.
kevdude421, on 03/24/2008, -1/+30Bears. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.
- schizogony, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5What...what are you doing?!
  - badwithcomputer, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3*un-shun*
- btm4k, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Well, someone had to say it.
- matthewschnoor, on 03/24/2008, -0/+7"Oh, hey, Michael. I forgot to tell you the plans for this weekend. You. Me. Bar. Beers. BUZZED. Wings. Shots. DRUNK. Waitresses HOT. Football: Cornell, Hofstra. SLAUGHER. Then, quick nap at my place and we hit the tizzown." -Andy Bernard.
getrealnow, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3MICHAEL!
Oh thats funny, MICHAEL!
lanky, on 03/24/2008, -1/+3So this was an attempt to get people to actually read US News... Better luck next time...
slashbot, on 03/24/2008, -0/+8Food gift baskets.

Solves all your business needs.
1randomguyO8, on 03/24/2008, -1/+2It's true what that guy said. A lot of us(myself included) have weaknesses and stregths which we don't really know of or perhaps subconsciously ignore thats it's important to have performance reviews and constructive feedback.
schizogony, on 03/24/2008, -1/+10Yeah, I'll admit I didn't read the article.

The Office rules though.
badwithcomputer, on 03/24/2008, -0/+31Michael Scott: Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.
kastlip88, on 03/24/2008, -1/+25"Michael Scott: A boss is like a teacher. And I am like the cool teacher. Like Mr. Handell. Mr. Handell would hang out with us. And he would tell us awesome jokes. And he actually hooked up with one of the students. Um, and then like twelve other kids came forward. It was in all the papers. Really ruined eighth grade for us."

"Michael Scott: There are four kinds of business. Tourism. Food service. Railroads. And sales. And hospitals/manufacturing. And air travel."
1randomguyO8, on 03/24/2008, -7/+2Anyone got a link to a stream of the latest episode or a torrent?
- Rayke, on 03/24/2008, -3/+5You mean from months ago? Before Christmas?
  
  Thanks for playing.
  - 1randomguyO8, on 03/24/2008, -3/+5Do you have be a dick? I'm from Aus and the seasons are totally different down here. Sometimes it takes months before we see the most recent episode of a TV show form the US plus we have our seasons and so fourth.
    - sublimnl, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5first of all, it's "so forth". Second, as an American currently living in Australia I know that all the seasons are the same, just delayed by the networks here by a few months some of the time (although that delay seems to be slowly dying away, probably due to the popularity downloading TV shows via bittorrent...7, 9, 10, ABC, and SBS are finally waking up and realizing they are losing viewers because of this stupid season shift that has australian watching christmas episodes in April and May). Speaking of the Australian networks, why can't they stick to a ***** schedule? It makes my DVR freakin useless when even the NEWS runs 45 minutes late. But I digress, there are no new episodes of the office yet. Remember the writers strike? Anyway, new episodes are supposed to return in late april. Goto tv.com for more info on all your fav shows.
  - Dantetheinferno, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Shhh.....
    
    Warez makes all things better, and qualms your petty squabbles...
    
    The Pirate Bay will help you... Just go... Shh.....
- kingp, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5NBC website has current episodes from Season 4:
  http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/video/episodes.shtml
headnickels, on 03/24/2008, -1/+11april 10 yahoo!
dshey, on 03/24/2008, -0/+14that's what she said.
plantonater, on 03/24/2008, -1/+13"Dwight I want you to think about this long and hard."

"That's what she said...."

"DWIGHT that is my joke! You can't take that from me!"
shakbhaji, on 03/24/2008, -1/+16"I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious."
ddrirc, on 03/24/2008, -1/+11"...the coach also said that when you make a 360 degree career move..."

whut
- nogayskthx, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5ya, so you're heading in the same direction as you originally were.......o wait.....
- ddrirc, on 03/24/2008, -1/+8Do you know why it's called an XBOX 360?
  
  Because once you see it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away.
  - Dantetheinferno, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Do you know why it's called a PS3? Cause you turn 3 degrees and punt it.
  - KennMac, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2So you'd be walking towards the console again? Hopefully they come out with an Xbox 180 so your joke actually works.
    - Xproject01, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1Try researching the joke...
    - Dantetheinferno, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1He failed at the joke. Should be "And moon walk away"
- surKaz, on 03/24/2008, -2/+1Please guys... The article's about Career Lessons from a TV show... Why the hell would you want to start a XBOX 360/PS3 war here..... Take it to your PS3/XBOX 360 articles and argue there...
  - surKaz, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1What'd I say?.. just tried to stop another XBOX/PS fight... bury Me.
aaapples, on 03/24/2008, -14/+3Lesson 1: Your time would have been better spent making another series of Arrested Development than doing a crappy remake of a BBC show.
- bubba9999, on 03/24/2008, -0/+6maybe try watching it once?
- slashbot, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2They are both good series. Why you gotta hate?
TsuruchiBrian, on 03/24/2008, -2/+5Super fake sounding advice from super fake sounding people. Maybe those people need to take a few more public speaking or leadership classes to improve their skill set.
Crazymaniacc, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4Can't wait till season 4 continues
dexedrine, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Soon as the article started getting good, it ended. Think someone had a deadline to meet.
susn, on 03/24/2008, -2/+0i thought that was going to be funny, not lame.
dozilla, on 03/24/2008, -1/+2"Someone like supersalesman Dwight Schrute" YES!
icexe, on 03/24/2008, -5/+1That show bores me...
The last thing I want to do after working in an office all day is to watch a show about people working in an office all day.
adamwho, on 03/24/2008, -1/+1That article didn't give any advice.
phatbyte, on 03/24/2008, -5/+1Uk Office version is WAYYYY better than this one.
saikyan, on 03/24/2008, -6/+1Pssst... the British version is funnier, better written, and less reliant on goofy gimmicks.
thelock65, on 03/24/2008, -1/+1Early worm gets the...worm
- jmaddude, on 03/24/2008, -0/+0Really? Another worm?
  Are they friends?
MaceSoul, on 03/24/2008, -1/+1I was 5 minutes into that site before I realized I didn't want to know what US News & whatever wanted me to know, I just wanted to see more off-season Office. And toward that, it did not deliver.
TreatsTheBear, on 03/24/2008, -1/+1Dugg for Liz Wolgemuth
candees, on 03/25/2008, -0/+0really just the last paragraph had advice, the rest was just a synopsis about what we all already know about the show. And the British version is not better, the characters just don't do it.
