The Halloween Episode Of "The Office" Is One Of The Best Episodes. Change My Mind.

The Halloween episode (Season 2, Episode 5) of the epic TV show "The Office" is often slept on, in my opinion. It's fairly early on in the show's existence, and on the surface, it may not be immediately chosen by viewers as one of their favorite episodes in the series. I'm here to change your mind.

This episode brings us one of the most iconic Jim outfits of the series: Three-Hole-Punch Jim. This costume perfectly sums up Jim as a character: pretending he couldn't care less about the office and his job, but putting in just enough effort to prove he really does. If you're not familiar with this episode (or forget it even happened entirely), here's a link to the scene.

We really get to see Jim and Pam's pranking in its prime in this episode. Michael is conflicted because he must fire someone by the end of the month, and he, of course, puts it off until the last day possible. He's hoping someone will offer to be the one to go, and Jim and Pam, being the loyal employees they are, put Dwight's resume on the internet and nearly get him a new job offer in Maryland before he inevitably screws it up. Jim pretends to be Michael on the phone to give a reference for Dwight, and this whole process really shows Jim and Pam as a team and how great they are together.

And, last but not least, we get an iconic Michael Scott blunder in this episode. He has so much anxiety over having to fire one of his employees, he has Jim role play it with him. He also asks Dwight who he thinks he should fire. By the end of the episode, Michael has decided to fire Creed, but Creed somehow convinces him Devon is the one who should be fired. Devon and Michael then get in an argument over who should really be fired, but Michael still ends up letting Devon go, creating an enemy in the process.

This episode perfectly combines office drama, an ingenious prank, and a classic not-so costume. If you don't love the Halloween episode, go rewatch it RIGHT NOW. It's a classic episode and always makes us laugh.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
