A sign of our times? This is very sad but funny at the same time. The first-ever Pink Slip Party: On Tuesday, November 11, victims of the flailing economy can drink their worries away with cheap brewskies, while networking and possibly even getting picked up by a new employer. Go here to RSVP. ...

The entire office was decked out as Dunder Mifflin, including name tags (with employees' names written in pig latin). Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post any further photos of the office.
