Though Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, and John Krasinski got most of the attention and big laughs, the series’ true MVP was Jenna Fischer. She could land a good frustrated look with the best of them, but her vulnerability and warmth provided the series its humanity. Her character changed the most organically throughout the series’ life, and in a very unshowy way, she provided a center that made these characters seem like an ad hoc family, not just a collection of types. So it’s appropriate she uttered the final words we heard as we move from her taking the painting she drew of Dunder Mifflin off the wall, to Michael Scott placing it on the wall after buying it at her art show years ago, to a final image of Dunder Mifflin itself.

“I thought it was weird when you picked us to make a documentary, but all in all, I think an ordinary paper company like Dunder Mifflin was a great subject for a documentary. There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn’t that kind of the point?”

Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is passed. The rain is over and gone. The time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. Let me see your face. Let me hear your voice. For your voice is sweet, and your face is comely.

I sold paper to this company for twelve years––my job was to speak to clients on the phone about quantities and types of copier paper. Even if I didn’t love every minute of it, everything I have, I owe to this job. This stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing job.

I can’t believe that The Office is officially over. I did a semi-decent job of not sobbing hysterically during the episode, but I can’t say that about the ten minutes after it ended. My sister (I’m back at my mom’s for the weekend, btw!) came running into my room to tell me that she heard a dying…

Michael has so many pictures of his kids, he had to get two phones, with two numbers, and he pays two bills. He’s just so happy to have a family plan.

School and work have been stressing me out more than usual. It’s finals time, so obviously things get worse. Honestly, I wish I was better at life, but I pretty much suck at everything. My eating has been very minimal lately, and I don’t know why. Usually when I’m stressed out, I just pig out constantly. So I guess I’m learning more self-control? Ha. probably not. Anyway, I’m not entirely broke, but just barely scraping by. Must get a higher paying job over the summer! AHHHHHHH. Oh, life. How you kill me.
