Boy, do I appear uncouth.
More to come later.
I'm guessing that everyone who has seen Office Space and works in an office has said "didja get that memo?" at least once. And if they haven't said it, they've thought it.
If you liked that movie you should definitely check out the BBC series The Office, which is out on DVD. I've only seen the first episode, but it was hilarious. I'm sure I'm going to love the rest.
I'm in the "Mmm-kay?" camp, myself, but I am partial to that one as well. :-D
When I go to my parents' for Christmas, I'll have to scour the library for a copy of The Office.
