Angela and me in the news

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 | 59 comments

Part of my Saturday with Angela included doing an interview with Susan Young of the Contra Costa Times.

Did I ever think in my wildest dreams that I would be interviewed alongside Ms. Angela Kinsey? Uh, NO.

And any time I can combine two of my favorite activities — talking about The Office and eating — it’s a good day.

OfficeTally in the news

Thursday, September 27th, 2007 | 128 comments

Our local paper, the Mercury News, posted a nice article (with photos even!) about my obsession with this thing called OfficeTally.

There are a few people I’d like to thank: Merc reporter Mark de la Viña for listening to me prattle on about the show for hours, Angela Kinsey and Kent Zbornak, for taking the time to provide some amazing quotes, and last but not least, the hardworking and dedicated folks at NBC.com for bringing this story to Mark in the first place!

P.S. A shout-out, too, to Michael Schur, who also provided quotes for the story that were unfortunately not included. My favorite — when asked “What sort of contact have you had with Jennie?”, Michael replied, “I did a lengthy Q and A with Jennie a few months ago, and it was brutal. She raked me across the coals. It was like Mike Wallace going after a tobacco company lawyer.” Giggle.

OfficeTally Rewind is a collection of tidbits from the OT archives that you may have missed the first time around …

OfficeTally’s all a-Twitter

Friday, July 27th, 2007 | 4 comments

With this being one of the slowest Office news weeks ever, I had some free time to play around with Twitter.

Twitter lets you send short messages to “followers,” who can choose to receive your messages via IM or cell phone text messages.

I post a Twitter whenever I update OfficeTally. You can see what they look like in the OT sidebar.

To follow OfficeTally’s twitters:
1) Log in or create an account at Twitter.
2) Go to the OfficeTally Twitter page.
3) Click the Follow button.

Limited access to OT today

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007 | 81 comments

Okay, we’re up and running, but I don’t want a big flood of people here … yet.

Remember to always check OT’s MySpace page for updates — that is command center central whenever there are problems with the site.

And don’t panic if you aren’t able to access OT later today; it just means I needed to disable it while I work on the next step.

Thanks so much for hanging in there!

Comment moderation

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 | Comments Off

I’m not sure if it’s a full moon or the fact that people have a lot of pent-up energy because it’s been soooo long since we’ve seen a new episode of The Office.

Whatever the reason, I’ve been seeing many more inappropriate comments being posted here at OfficeTally. For that reason, I’ve decided to moderate all comments before they appear here.

For most of you, you shouldn’t notice any difference except that it will take some time before you see your comments posted. If you don’t see your comment posted, please read the revised comment policy to learn why.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Site problems today

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 | Comments Off

Hey everybody, just wanted to let you know that I’m having some problems with the site today, and want to warn y’all that OfficeTally may be offline on and off the next few days.

Remember that I’ll always post updates over at my MySpace page.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

Happy Birthday, OfficeTally!

Yes, OfficeTally turns one year old today.

It’s been a wild and wonderful year getting to know the cast, staff, and fans of this awesome show, nay, the best show on TV today.

While the daily management of OT is a one-person operation, I must give thanks to James, GMMR, Wendy, Tori, Sean, and Jim Mosby, for writing reviews, moderating the chat room, and generally providing moral support.

A shout-out also to the Office cast, especially Jenna, Angela, Kate, and Brian, who have always been so supportive of the site. You guys rock.

And last, but not least, thanks to you, the OfficeTally reader, for coming here to visit, sending in tips, and sharing your Office addiction with fellow fans! Thanks for letting me plant my seed in you.

:) Jennie (aka tanster)
