Happy birthday to our favorite temp

Happy Birthday, B.J.!

It was way back during the fall of last year when I first became interested in The Office and found B.J.’s website.

Which lead me to MySpace, Jenna’s page, Northern Attack, the idea to start my own site, and the rest is OfficeTally history. ;)

Thanks, B.J., for igniting my obsession for The Office. Have a great day!


P.S. B.J.’s next live appearance will be “B.J. Novak and Friends” at Largo in Los Angeles on Monday, August 28th, with Mindy Kaling (“Kelly”), Craig Robinson (“Darryl”) and “surprise guests.” This has been added to the OT calendar.

Co-Executive Producer Kent Zbornak
Supervising Producer BJ Novak, who also plays “Ryan” (the temp)

This event is free!

Thanks, Aaron! And I hope if you or any other OT readers attend, that y’all come back with a full report. :)

Update 7/31: I am tagging this post with a SPOILER WARNING so that people who attended the discussion can feel free to post comments about the upcoming season!
