Up next, the Office hiatus, but first: Creed Thoughts, Schrutespace and a memo from Holly

May

It’s really over isn’t it? The television season that began with the usual frothy fanfare, ran aground on the rocky shoals of labor unrest and revved up again in time to offer a sample of all we’d missed, is but a memory.

And as with all discussions of television, I bring it back to The Office.

Last night I posted the sixth and final deleted scene, and today I mentioned that the date of the Season 5 premiere was set at Sept. 25. Tonight I give you the last of the rest.

Creed Bratton has posted more Creed Thoughts.

Last week, I drank five cans of the sauce and when this new lady started questioning me about what I did at work, I freaked out. I started imagining me and her on a go-kart track, but she didnâ€™t have a go-kart and my go-kart had all kinds of James Bond spy weapons on it. Right when I started picturing myself shooting her with my dashboard missiles, I realized I needed to take it down a notch.

The latest Dunder Mifflin Infinity newsletter is out, and that has typically been a thing more worth checking out than Dunder Miffiln Infinity, the interactive online game. (I’ve heard that’s gotten a lot better in recent months, but I probably won’t bother to verify that.) Anyway, check out what new HR rep Holly has to say. Isn’t she sweet?

Hi Everyone. Michael told me he was giving me a space in the newsletter to “drop some knowledge” on you. I don’t really know what kind of knowledge this is supposed to be, so I’ll just share with you some facts I know.

Blue whales are the largest mammals.

The capital of Montana is Helena.

In France, Santa Claus is called PÃ¨re NoÃ«l.

Old dogs can learn new tricks. It just requires lots of repetition and treats.

I hope you enjoyed these “seeds” of wisdom. Is this what you wanted, Michael? Okay. That’s all for me. I’m new to this newsletter business.

And then there’s Schrute Space, the puzzling meanderings of Dwight K. Schrute. I don’t care what you’re doing when you read it, but keep in mind. Dwight would prefer you are at home, on your own time. Here are his thoughts on cephalopods.

The mighty octopus should be respected, not depicted as some horrible marine rapist. If you need to demonize a sea creature, make it the horrendous jellyfish, which provides not jelly but dangerous stings. I found out firsthand when I was taken to a beach on the shores of North Carolina in my youth. I have yet to return to an ocean beach.

So that’s it for Season 4, huh? All we’re left with is analysis, retrospection, speculation and nuggets of news about Season 4. Well there are the webisodes that are set to return in July. Otherwise, welcome to summer, for real.
