Happy Birthday, Jen and Mike!
Sunday, November 11th, 2007
No, they don’t have the same birthday.
Jennifer Celotta’s birthday is today; Mike’s birthday is actually October 29, but given the craziness of The Office Convention followed by the WGA strike, it completely slipped my mind. Mike, please publicly berate me at your earliest convenience.
Anyway, Happy Birthday to Jen and Happy Belated Birthday to Mike!
Thanks for staying in touch with the fans during this difficult time. You guys rock!
P.S. Wow. I didn’t even give you guys your own separate birthday posts. I’ve turned into Jim.




Happy birthday, Jen and Mike!
I wish you both birthdays filled with cake, streamers, presents, and residuals!

Mike, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to someone who’s given us absolutely memorable and hilarious moments - on paper and on screen. I hope your near “rock star” status at the Convention was a fun pre-birthday experience!
Jen, have a FABULOUS day today! Meeting you at the cocktail parties was one of the highlights of my time in Scranton. We Minnesotans are known for our “Minnesota Nice” and your brother has obviously shared his with you. :) Thank you for being so approachable & gracious and for discussing a question I had about a certain S2 moment. ;) If you’re ever in the Twin Cities visiting, I’d be happy to buy you a post-birthday cocktail.
For everyone’s sake, I sincerely hope your brilliant minds are back to work soon!

Happy Birthday Cousin Mose… I mean Mike.
*sings the high part to Happy Birthday*
17 | The Office Fanatic Sun. Nov. 11, 2007 at 7:45amDoes that make Mike Schur Toby? Because that is… well, kind of harsh.
Happy birthday Jen! Drug Testing was the episode that brought me to this state of feverish Office addiction. I still remember having a friend tell me that she had taped, but not yet watched that week’s episode, and how hearing that felt like one of the world’s greatest victories, because then maybe I could make her go get the tape, and maybe we could watch it RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT. MAYBE EVEN REPEATEDLY.
And happy birthday Mike! The end of Office Olympics is maybe my favorite moment on The Office of all time.
