The Office...Mom

I work for my dad. He also happens owns the business. Since the state of Washington is a community property state, I guess that also implies that I work for my mom.?

As a result, my mother tends to visit my office frequently. These "visits" typically involve her bugging me for 30 minutes, using our postage machine to send out personal letters, and then "borrowing" whatever supplies we have in stock (i.e. pens, yellow note pads, ect...).

Today, she stopped by in order to make copies of some X-mas card she put together. In her attempts to do so, she jammed our printer and had to be escorted out of the office before anything else was broken. I'd feel bad about doing this, except she then decided to then plant herself outside my door for 30 minutes and make faces at me while I tried to eat my lunch.

If my mom was 20 years older I'd probably try to get her to audition for a part on The Office as Michael Scott's mother. I'm pretty sure they could make an entire season around this.

- Michael's mom moves into town. She decides to visit him at the office and brings treats for everyone. Everyone loves her except Dwight, who saw her slip a pen into her purse before she left...

- Michael's mom calls Pam to set up an appointment with Michael under the title "Important Client Meeting." Michael, thinking that he actually has an important client meeting scheduled, is stressed all day becaue he has no idea what the meeting is about.

- Michael's mom decides to redecorate The Office with the help of Angela. Phyllis is left out of the planning committe and becomes unfriendly with Michael's mom.

- Jim takes Michael's mom out on a date. Michael's mom procedes to tell Jim embarrassing stories about Michael. Jim procedes to tell Michael's mom that he thinks Michael needs to get out more often.

- Michael's mom attempts to set Michael up on a blind date. Reluctantly, Michael agrees. At the same time, in an attempt to patch up her relationshop with Phyllis, Michael's mom sets her up on a blind date also...

The storyline possibilities really are endless here. Hell, I think you could even make a whole separate TV show about this. Are any TV execs out there reading this? This needs to happen, if only to get my mom from stop bugging me at work.
