Happy Birthday, Miss Angela!

Angela Kinsey

I have been so fortunate to be able to chat with Angela on several occasions, the first of which was her surprise phone call during a TV interview! (Remember that, Angela? When I squealed into the phone in disbelief?)

Angela is one of the warmest and sweetest people you’ll ever meet. The very best birthday wishes to a wonderful person! You deserve every happiness in the world. (At the very least, a wetzel at the mall.)


Banner Contest grand prize winner and poll

Grand prize winner

And the Banner Contest grand prize winner is: Allison!

Allison’s winning entry will be displayed as OfficeTally’s banner for the rest of the month. Maybe longer. :)

I fell in love with Allison’s banners the second I saw them — lush, beautifully composed, and a little edgy. Yum.

Congratulations, Allison! I will be emailing you shortly about sending you your prizes — a Dwight Schrute bobblehead and poster magnet!

P.S. If you don’t see Allison’s banner on this page, clear your browser cache and click the Refresh button.

Poll to pick fan favorite

Picking the grand prize winner? — easy. Picking the next top 20? — not so much.

In any case, I should have a poll up in the next few days or so. YOU, the OfficeTally reader, get to pick your favorite!

Greg Daniels interview

Dead Things ON Sticks interviewed The Office’s showrunner Greg Daniels at the Banff World Television Festival last week:

… the cameramen on The Office, specifically Randall Einhorn, although Matt Sohn his number two is also very good … but he’s our DP and I used to sit him down when I told him what we were looking for and I’d say, “truth and beauty. we’re going for truth and beauty.” He really responded to that. “Cool,” he’d say — he lived in Australia, he’d go, “Truth and beauty, mate!” And then he’d go out … so he was always trying to find that moment of behavior, or that thing in the camerawork.

The process of making and writing The Office is one of my favorite topics ever!
