If I am going to waste my life…

November 22, 2010 - Leave a Comment

So, technically speaking, Stuart and I don't own a television.

We used to have one.  Although we never had cable, we at least had a television if we wanted to watch movies or such.  Then we moved and we decided that the television was not welcome at the new home.  We never used it, so all it was good for was dirting up my dust rag every week. 

However, we still have a computer screen.  And on our computer, we have access to one of the best inventions ever. 

NETFLIX.  Yesssss….

Do you know what they have on NETFLIX to watch instantly?

THE OFFICE.  Now don't get me wrong, I still think television is absolute waste of time.  We complain about not having enough time to accomplish things (hello knitting project!) and then we spend hours upon hours slumped in front of the screen.  That being said, if we are going to waste hours of our precious lives watching television, I want to be watching The Office.

Because it makes me so incredibly uncomfortable, I can barely sit still.

Because every time I heard Dwight say “Question…” I smile inside.

Because every time Michael is mean to Toby, I cry a little inside.

Because every time Kevin says anything, I laugh a little inside.

So yesterday afternoon, when it looked like this outside,

….we wasted a few hours of our lives watching it.  It was totally worth it.
