To all of “The Office” fans on the Cal State San Marcos Campus, April 28, Michael Scott will be packing up his world’s best boss cup, multiple Dundie awards and setting sail for a new direction that no longer includes his fellow Dunder Mifflin/ Sabre employees in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

This coming Thursday is Michael Gary Scott’s, played by the extremely talented Steve Carell, last episode, which will end an amazing seven season reign. Steve Carell, personally, has won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for a TV series or Musical Comedy, two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance Ensemble in a Comedy Series and two Teen Choice Awards in only a short span of six years, due to his performance on NBC’s hit show, “The Office.”

Looking back on a six year, seven season span, who wouldn’t want to have the quirky, awkward, lovable, caring Michael Scott as a boss or at least friend in your everyday life? It will be hard to enjoy my Thursday nights without this wonderful and amazing character in my life. At least I have the option to TiVo the good times on the TBS and FOX stations, which now offer “The Office” a few hours a week.

As I sit here writing this article and you fans sit there reading it, I am compelled to remember the best moments of Michael Scott.  The time Michael Scott burned (or grilled) his foot on his George Forman Grill in season one, us loyal fans were there giggling at his crazy attempt to sooth the wound with spreadable butter. When Michael organized and ran in the disastrous “Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For The Cure” in season four, we were there rolling on the floor laughing. When Michael found and lost the love of his life in one fell swoop in seasons four through seven, we were still there, and we will continue to be there as Michael says his final goodbye.

Through the good, the bad, the heartbreaking and down-right hilarious times of Michael Scott, we remained loyal to this relatable and lovable character thanks to the hilarious acting by Carell. I personally wish Steve Carell all the best and say it will be sad to see him and his character go. He always left me smiling and satisfied. That’s what she said.
