By Creed Bratton, Quality Assurance Director (or so I claim)

Ah, the world of paper sales. It's a wild ride, folks. And I'm not just talking about the copier jamming on me every Thursday at 2 PM. As your trusty QA director, I've seen it all – or at least, that's what I tell myself.

Let's start with my own backstory. I passed out on a Greyhound in LA and woke up in Scranton, PA. Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy, but hey, that's just the way it goes sometimes. I stumbled into this paper company, and before I knew it, I was Creed Bratton, the guy who makes everyone around here scratch their heads.

But did you know that John Krasinski, aka Jim Halpert, went to high school with BJ Novak? Who would've thought? Not me, that's for sure. I mean, I'm more of a "wing it" kind of guy. I didn't need to go to high school to figure out how to be awesome.

And speaking of being awesome, did you know that the opening credit images were shot by yours truly? Yeah, I'm like a Renaissance man – actor, director, and all-around weirdo. When John called me up and said he needed someone to scope out Scranton for the opening credits, I was like, "Count me in, buddy."

But what really gets my goat is when people ask who most resembles their character. And let me tell you, it's usually Creed – that's right, folks. My character might be a little...unsettling, but I'm pretty sure I nailed the whole "creepy weirdo" vibe.

And then there's Jim and Pam. Ah, those two lovebirds. They're like the office's very own Hallmark card. But seriously, they have natural chemistry, folks. It's like they were born to be together – or at least, that's what I tell myself when I'm trying to avoid actual work.

But enough about my co-workers. What about me? Well, let me tell you, my backstory is full of twists and turns. Like the time I revealed the thrilling backstory of Creed Bratton (that was me). Okay, maybe it wasn't exactly thrilling, but hey, it's a story, right?

So there you have it – a behind-the-scenes look at Dunder Mifflin Scranton from yours truly, Creed Bratton. It's been a wild ride, folks, and I'm glad you're along for the ride.

Outtakes and Behind-the-Scenes Shenanigans

You know what they say: "The show must go on," even when it doesn't make sense. That's why we have outtakes – because sometimes, well, things just get weird.

  • Rainn Wilson once said, "You're evil like a hobbit" during an improv session. I'm not sure if that was a joke or not, but hey, it made me laugh.
  • At one point, someone asked who most resembled their character. The popular answer? Creed (that's right, folks).
  • When John Krasinski called to ask about Pam, I started crying because...well, I don't know why, but it felt good.

The Mysterious World of Creed Bratton

So what do I really do at Dunder Mifflin? Honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe I'm the head of quality assurance? Possibly I'm the CEO in disguise? Or maybe I'm just a guy who likes to show up and make weird faces at my coworkers?

One thing's for sure: I'll keep on keeping on, even if it means winging it most of the time. After all, as the great philosopher once said, "It's not about being the best, it's about being better than you were yesterday." Unless you're Creed Bratton – then it's about being Creed Bratton.

Want to be a part of the Dunder Mifflin crew?

If you think you've got what it takes to join our merry band of misfits, just remember: be weird, be unpredictable, and always wear a suit with a too-small tie. Trust me, I'm an expert on that one.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes shenanigans from yours truly, Creed Bratton. It's going to be a wild ride!
