The Office Hell
The Office. You know about this show? This is what you need to know:

1. This show is excrutiatingly painful to watch. It's like fingernails screeching down a chalkboard. It's like re-living every single day, every painful minute, of the worst job you ever had. Worst boss. Saying the worst crap. Doing the most inappropriate things.
2. You have to watch this show.

We've rented the DVD of Season One and can only watch about 15 minutes at a time before we have to stop it and rant about how excruciating it is. It has six episodes on the disc, but we can't watch more than one a day - even that's too much. We're on episode four, and as it started this time, with the sad theme music and the camera panning over the pathetic box-office in bumbleberg London over a round-about in the gloomy-rainyish weather. I felt it. Monday Morning: I can't believe I'm gong back to this place for another fucking hour of my life. Why do I go back here? I have to find something else.
Oddly, it's a comedy but you feel their pain so effectively because you have lived it. Are living it. Will live it again.
