Topic: Is "The Office" (U.S. version) anything like real office environments?

It seems so nice to work in an office like that. I've sort of fallen in love with the office used in the TV series!

Does anyone here have any office experience and wanna share?

it isn't nice. I haven't seen much of the US version but is the sense of despair from the uk version not there?

Despair? Dunno… I like how calm and nice it appears to be. The actual job sucks, though…

Real life is exactly like "The Office" minus the good things that "The Office" has. That is, shitty jobs doing boring work, surrounded by morons who can't think critically, and your boss is way under qualified. However, you can basically do jack shit and work 9-5 in real life if you want to.
