The Office Set Visit 2009: Day 1

The former office of the Michael Scott Paper Company. Note the lava lamp is still there on the counter!

Kim (hair) suggested I take this picture, and I didn’t understand the significance of it until I watched ‘Cafe Disco.’

This room is sandwiched between actual men’s and women’s restrooms. Dave Roger’s office is just down the hall from it!

Dunder Mifflin Scranton front desk. No, Hank the security guard wasn’t there that day. :)

Dunder Mifflin Scranton lobby. That’s Rainn Wilson outside.

Remember W.B. Jones? From the Five Families in the Season 4 episode, ‘Chair Model.’

   That photo of Jim and Pam on Pam’s desk is too gorgeous … No chance NBC will release that in hi-res for all of us JAM fans?

   I loved how on Pam’s and Jim’s desks, they each had adorable pictures of themselves together! :) I so wish I had that one of Jim from “Job Fair” where he is in his golf outfit!

   it makes sense that both the first & last scenes were shot on the same day, since they’re both indoors. movie & tv shoots like to get the “set” stuff out of the way.

    These set visit updates are really softening the blow of an Office-less summer!

    [from tanster: lol!]

    Tanster – Thanks for bringing us into your Office experience. It sounds like a dream job to me.

    Do you happen to know if the picture of John with the baby on his desk is a “real” picture, like of his real nephew or niece?

    [from tanster: no, sorry, i don't know. :( ]

    This must have been the last time they were filming on the regular set for the season. I wonder if it was like being there on the last day of school. Thanks for the stories from the set, Tanster. They were so generous allowing you to be there on that day as well as the ones where you were an extra!

    Did Disaster Kits Ltd move out of the Scranton Business Park? They weren’t listed on the directory. Maybe Cool Guy Paul left the Five Families :(

    LOL. Rainn is #2. It’s so perfect.

    This experience must have been so amazing! I am so jealous. Thanks for sharing all of your experiences, though!

    I went to grade and high school with an Erin Hannon. So weird.

    34. absolutelyido  Mon. May. 18, 2009 | 3:24pm

    All I can say is that I’m incredibly jealous, but also gracious that you’re sharing all this stuff.
    Thanks =]

    This is awesome stuff right here!
    Thank you for taking the time to write all this up for us Office-obsessors. I know this had been said, but all your details make it seem like we were actually there.

    You have deserved every single bit of that week!
    Can’t wait to hear more :)

    This is too awesome for words; thanks for sharing!

    Can I just say I love how Jenna & Ed hold their own umbrellas? Because P Diddy (or whatever name he goes by now) & Mariah Carey hire people to just hold drinks or umbrellas for them…just sayin’.

    Anyway, I love how Creed just comes up with a backstory for your character LOL. I remember reading the Q&A you did w/Mike Schur, & in it you mentioned if you were to ever appear on the show you’d play Mose’s sweetheart; I guess ex-Buffalo employee isn’t too shabby right? ;)

    Can’t wait to see the rest of your visit!
