Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 | 59 commentsUpdate: live blogging from the picket line continues today at 10:30am PT; check back often! (And if you have a message for any of the writers, please post a comment. I will try to show the writers your notes on my phone while we’re walking!)
I’m going to try to report live from today’s picket line via Utterz, which lets me blog on-the-go right from my cell phone. Newest updates will appear first.
Everything I post will end up in the widget below. Just click the Play button!

Jenna’s latest MySpace blog update
Monday, January 21st, 2008 | 32 commentsOfficeTally’s policy is to never report on the personal relationships of The Office’s cast and staff, but when Jenna Fischer posts an update to her MySpace blog entitled “Me and David Spade,” there’s just no getting around it. :)
Some parts of it are pretty funny!

P.S. The comment policy is still in effect. No gossipy shenanigans there, please.

More details to come!
(And yes, I am beyond excited)
Jenna Fischer’s Office Space
Monday, January 21st, 2008 | 33 commentsAtlanta’s entertainment magazine INsite talked to Jenna Fischer for its January issue:
“… I think so much of the show is about what we say when we’re not speaking. But also, like, it is a subtext show, you know? And I think it’s one of the challenges to, like, have a conversation with the character of Jim that’s very, you know, acceptable and appropriate, while all the while communicating to the audience that this is a person I have a huge crush on.”

NBC’s ‘The Office’ auction starts Jan. 21
Sunday, January 20th, 2008 | 7 commentsI have been notified that NBC plans to auction off more items from ‘The Office,’ starting tomorrow, January 21st.
Here are the items:
- Dwight’s goldenrod short sleeve shirt — Season 2-3
- Pam’s blouse & cardigan — Season 2
- Ryan’s blue shirt and tie — Season 2-3
- Michael’s lucky tie — Season 2, “The Client”
- Michael’s Photoshopped Christmas card to Carol — Season 3, “A Benihana Christmas”
- Dwight bobblehead doll autographed by Rainn Wilson
If the list changes, I’ll update it once the auction goes live.
United Way will receive 15% of the auction’s net proceeds; the bobblehead winning bidder receives the bobblehead as well as ‘The Office’ Season 3 DVD, and proceeds go to Rainn’s favorite charity, The Mona Foundation.
Happy Birthday, Rainn!

Were it not for Rainn’s brilliant portrayal of über geek Dwight Schrute, would the NBC Store have sold 150,000 Dwight Schrute Bobbleheads since April 2006, making it “the biggest seller in the eight-year history of the store”?
I think not. ‘Cause Dwight’s too sexy …
Have a fantastic day, Rainn!
