I just finished watching The Office for the first time, and I have to say, while I really didn't like it in the beginning, it really grew on me. I thought it got much better after Michael left (don't hurt me). He was just a shitty person who rarely thought about anyone other than himself and always had to be the center of attention. He didn't know when to step back and let other people do things. He always had to take everything too far.
The other thing that jumped out at me was how Jim WAS NEVER PROMOTED. He didn't even ever put himself forth as a candidate!! He was EASILY the most qualified and obvious choice for manager the many times when the position needed filling, but he never went for it. Why?? He would have been a GREAT manager!
