Michael from The Office


I swear my manager is like Michael from The Office.  He says the weirdest most random things, a lot of times things that are a red flag and he is just a strange man.  It keeps our office entertaining though and I swear we never know what is going to happen next. 

Example #1  One day there were window washers outside of our window (we're on the 5th floor) he comes near my cube and stands there and stares at them for a bit.  Out loud he says "I know someone wants to go and flash them."  There is a long silence and I hate those awkward silences so I just fill in the space and say "Why don't you do it?"  He just gets red laughs and walks away.  Helllooo you don't say things like that when you have an office full of female workers!  I'm not really bothered by the comments I find them humorous but one day when there is a woman or anyone for that matter around that does not find his things funny he could be in big trouble!

Here is my most recent strange encounter.  I'm in one of my co workers offices trying to figure some work stuff out with her.  I have on this long pearl necklace.  He comes in and is like "Ooo nice beads can I touch them?" and then he asks if I will grab them and hand them to him because he doesn't want to just grab my you know what so I like hold out the pearls as far as I can and he looks at them and I guess admires them?  I'm not really sure?   And then he goes into how normally he would just grab beads and then goes into something about babies liking to grab things, it was just so weird and awkward I can't even explain it.  

Another thing that is kind of weird that we notice is that he notices a lot of things on women about beauty and fashion.  He'll notice intricate details of clothing, notice brands of handbags, notice if someone is wearing eye liner one day when they usually don't.  Is this a sign of being fascinated with women or of being gay?  I'm not sure but we are starting to think it's the latter.  

Anyway this guy is nuts, but it keeps us entertained!

  1. Omg I'm cracking up! I love it! I love the picture you included with this post. The whole time I was reading I was picturing Michael Scott doing these awkward things.
