I love that this is three neat rows & then a giant picture of creed

Holy moly is right Nate

I work as a receptionist at the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders where I live.

On Halloween, we’re having an office party, and I decided to dress up as Pam Beesly from The Office. We’re both receptionists, we both work with watercolor, and we wear almost the same styles to work.

I usually stay in my office to answer phones and emails, but my boss has given me a special task for the day of our Halloween party.

I get to stand outside the screening rooms and HAND OUT CANDY TO THE CHILDREN WHO COME IN FOR AUTISM SCREENINGS.

How cute is that?! I feel like this will be the sweetest moment of my entire life.

It’s also totally something Pam would do! I remember that episode where all the office workers took their kids to work and Pam put out extra candy on her desk to get the kids to come and talk to her, and I feel like I’m getting that full circle moment here.

…..

I also have to save all the black jelly beans for Dwight.

Angela Erin's going to come in and do a cartwheel. 

Jenna Creed's going to cuss her out. 

Angela I texted with Creed about this. Creed said, You have to look at Phyllis's face when I start cursing. He said Phyllis had no idea that he was going to go off quite like that, and her reaction is genuine. He said, and I quote, I was cursing like a sailor. Well, I went to the scene and at 18 minutes, 55 seconds, Phyllis' reaction is priceless. 

Jenna That is so funny because this moment was scripted. In fact, in the script it's written that Creed says, (BLEEP) you and then (BLEEP) you again, and the second one's in all caps. 

Angela Yeah. 

Jenna So they really wanted him to ramp it up. 

Angela Yes. But Creed said that he kept going and going. 

Jenna Oh, boy. Well, lady, guess what? Standards and practices. 

Angela Oh, yeah. 

Jenna They got involved, you know, from the minute that we turned in the script. But this time they had options for us. They said. 

Angela Options from S&P? 

Jenna Options. They were willing to work with us on this one. When we turned in the table draft, here was their note. Please bleep with no beginning or end consonant sounds and blur the visible lip flap OR stage creed off camera. 

Angela So there's no lip flap? 

Jenna I guess so. For the (BLEEP) mentioned by Creed. Now, standards and practices... 

Angela Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. 

Jenna How is this scene working if Creed is off camera? What is happening? Just some bleeps? Just bleeps are happening? Of course, these notes went through every draft of the script, and at the very end we got your favorite, Angela. As previously noted, bleep completely and blur the lip flap when Creed says (BLEEP) to Erin after she does the cartwheel. 

Angela I want to say one thing to standards and practices. I think you guys type profanity in your emails more than anyone I've ever encountered. So for all of your rules and regulations, you let it fly in an email.
