Dear Makers, Producers, Cast and Crew of NBC's The Office,

I want to express my sincerest thanks and gratitude for the joy you have brought into my life.

When the rooster outside my door wakes me up at 6 a.m., I find cheer in Dwight's extensive knowledge of soils and bears.

When the craving for a mouth-watering cheese burger overtakes my senses to the brink of madness, I find contentment in the finer things.

When I spend an hour and a half on a Monday morning waiting for the mayor — only for him to tell me that he was late because he "felt like taking a swim in the river" — I find serenity in Angela's temperance.

When it's so hot outside that I can do nothing but lie spread-eagle on my oven-hot straw mattress, I find comfort in office supplies encased in wobbly green Jell-o.

And when I accidentally tell someone that I'm aroused sexually instead of emotionally stimulated, I find repose in Michael's fearless ignorance and candor.

You have given me a reliable cure for the semi-constant homesickness I find here. Each 23-minute episode a tiny slice of joie de vivre. And for that, from the depths of my heart, I thank you.

Sincerely,
Robyn
