Working with Michael Scott/ Dwight Schrute

Things I have observed working with a person who reminded me of a comical duo.

Never would I have ever thought I would be working with quite the character. With in just a few days, I was able to configure who he reminded me of. I kept it to myself for a while until asking a friend and another co-worker, and they both thought the same thing. I knew I was not making this up, what I observed was a true fact.

Funny thing is, I asked my co-worker once if he watched "The Office." His response was an enthusiastic yes, so then I proceeded to ask what characters he relates himself to. He got the Dwight part right, but failed to relate himself to the most comical character, Michael Scott. When I told him that he reminded me of Michael Scott, he was a bit taken back, but when I explained my reasoning it was understandable. Though, for some reason he likes to think of himself as Jim because he is the likable main character, but I do not see it at all.

Here is how my co-worker is perfectly blended mix of Michael Scott/ Dwight Schrute:

  1. Loyalty: Dwight’s loyalty to Michael is unreal; my co-workers loyalty to his boss and company is unreal. He does not just go the extra mile, but instead he goes for the marathon.
  2. FWD E-mails: Michael is known to always be forwarding e-mails; my inbox is largely comprised of FWD e-mails.
  3. Unpredictable extreme reactions: We have seen Michael’s reactions go from a blank expression to a yelling rage. I can predict that the day will be unpredictable, but I cannot predict when my co-worker will be chill/ or have a hissy fit.
  4. Jokes: Michael thinks his jokes are hilarious, yet no one else does. It is a painful thing to have to experience everyday. Funny thing is, it is the things that happen at work I find funny, and not the jokes.
  5. Right-hand: Dwight can always be found right next to Michael ready for to take on what they think is “mission impossible”. You can always find my co-worker ready to take on a task like he is saving the world.
  6. Phone-calls: Michael is always found laughing hysterically on the phone for no good reason. My co-worker can be found laughing at someone saying hello, I swear I am not making this up, I know because I am on some of the same calls.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
