I faithfully watched that show since the beginning. And by faithfully, I mean I dedicated my Thursday nights (and it might've been on other nights in the early years) to catching the episode. I didn't DVR that stuff. I always tried to watch the original airing. The only time I couldn't watch it was when I was working at Cedar Point in the summers. But I'll be damned, I caught every single rerun until I saw an episode that was new to me.
I remember the utter awkardness of the pilot episode and Michael's hair. Man, that hair was horrible. I remember the looks Jim gave to the camera. The show was so different compared to others. I was hooked from the beginning.
I'll admit, some seasons weren't the greatest and I felt the writing lacked. But I was still faithful.
I know that in every job I have, I'll try to find the Phyllis of the group. The Stanley. The Creed. The Michael. The Dwight. I will always giggle a little when I hear a set up to "That's what she said." And bears, beets, and Battlestar Galactica.
Best quotes from the finale that are totally applicable to real life:
"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." - Andy (possibly my favorite quote of all time)
"There's alot of beauty in ordinary things." - Pam
"No matter how you get there or where you end up, human beings have this miraculous gift to make that place home." - Creed
