Michael Scott appointed Colorado paper director

Michael Scott Colorado

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper must be a fan of The Office; check out the press release posted today on his official site, which reads in part:

Gov. John Hickenlooper announced today the appointment of Michael Scott to serve as the new Director of Paper Distribution for the Department of Natural Resources.

Scott, of Scranton, Pa., recently announced he is leaving his job as the regional branch manager for Dunder Mifflin Paper. Scott has served in this position since 1994 and is moving to Colorado to join his fiancé, Holly Flax, who is returning home to care for her elderly parents.

Scott has a unique management approach, where he spends 80 percent of his time “distracting others,” 19 percent of his time “procrastinating,” and 1 percent of his time “critical thinking.”

Tipster: Scott

Did y’all catch this Twittersation between The Office’s Mindy Kaling and Mike Schur last week?

After last nights game, Dwight Shrute will forever know who Steve Nash is.

mindykaling Mar 23, 10:50am:
I’ve spelled it Shrute in every single script I’ve written since Hot Girl. Have I been wrong this whole time? @KenTremendous?

KenTremendous Mar 23, 10:53am:
@mindykaling Yes. S-c-h-r-u-t-e. Don’t worry — it’s not like you’ve been writing lines for that character since 2004.

mindykaling Mar 23, 10:59am:
@KenTremendous this is legit mortifying. I guess you have a leg up on its spelling cuz you’re in the S(c)hrute clan. #mose

KenTremendous Mar 23, 11:49am:
@mindykaling I also have a “leg up” on it because I saw the way it was spelled in the pilot, and then continued to spell it that way. #burn

I love them.
