Memo From DunderMifflin

FROM: Dunder Mifflin Human Resources
TO: All Dunder Mifflin Employees

SUBJECT: Summer Weight Loss Initiative

Dunder Mifflin is very excited to present the Summer Weight Loss Initiative!

Each branch will be competing to lose the most weight over the course of the next seven weeks. Office weigh-ins will be conducted every week and reported to corporate by your Human Resource Representative. At the end of the seven weeks, the branch that loses the most weight WILL WIN THREE EXTRA VACATION DAYS!

Here at Dunder Mifflin we think our employees are great the way they are. However, studies indicate that a healthy lifestyle is likely to make you happier. Plus, your healthy lifestyle will help lower our insurance premiums, which makes the company happier. So we'll all be twice as happy.

Dunder Mifflin congratulates you all on your healthy beginnings and wishes you luck over the next seven weeks of this competition.

Regards,
Dunder Mifflin Management

Slash chimes in on Jenna's kidnapping

Seriously. Slash. He wrote an open letter to Free Jenna Now and then did his part by appearing in a promotion video for "The Rocker." Too bad Rainn doesn't really know who Slash is.

The madness continues...

A new website just popped up: Free Jenna Now. "See a great movie. Save a good person." Go see "The Rocker" (in theaters August 20th) to help get Jenna out of the trunk!

Rainn Wilson: Obsessive-Compulsive Kidnapper

How does Rainn Wilson promote his new movie "The Rocker?" Through kidnapping and list-making. First off, on the MySpace page of Jenna Fischer, Wilson has posted a ransom note. Apparently, just as soon as "The Rocker" grosses 18.7 million dollars, Jenna will be released from the trunk of his Thunderbird and given a peach smoothie.

And over on the MySpace page of Kate Flannery, he has posted a list of marketing ideas to use if we want Jenna released sooner rather than later. My personal favorite: A bakesale.

So, go, see the movie. Start some Oscar (not THAT Oscar) buzz and save half of Jam!

Russian Office!!

TheTwoCents Talks with Mindy Kaling and Brian Baumgartner

Recently our parent site, TheTwoCents.com, had the opportunity to talk with Brian Baumgartner and Mindy Kaling about their upcoming projects and about trips to Scranton they are both making soon.

My favorite part of talking with them may have been their interaction with each other. They did most of the interview for us!

Enjoy!

TheTwoCents: Okay, how you guys doing today? Thanks for being with us.

Brian Baumgartner: Thank you.

Mindy Kaling: Thanks.

TheTwoCents: It’s been almost a year since we’ve all been in Scranton and I know Mindy that you’re heading back there and Brian I hear rumors you might stop in a little bit later this month too. What are you guys looking forward to going back to see again or maybe didn’t get to experience the first time?

Mindy Kaling: I’m just ready for the food. The entire time we were there we toured all of like the different competing hotdog places and stuff but I never got to have any food. So what I’m hoping is I’ll have like 20 minutes to sit down and like eat a lobster with a bib on like Scranton people. That’s like kind of the most exciting for me.

Brian Baumgartner: I heard they’re actually, Mindy, they’re not allowing you to eat when you’re there.

Mindy Kaling: No, is that part of my contract, not eating?

Brian Baumgartner: That was part of it. There’s no eating, you must work the entire time. That’s what NBC has dictated. Sorry about that.

Mindy Kaling: This is the worst.
