Dunder-Mifflin Monthly Team-Building Exercise: A Michael Scott Joint

Dunder-Mifflin regional manager Michael Scott recently asked everyone in the Scranton office to take Facebook’s “Which computer software program are you?” quiz. The results of this “team building exercise” are listed below

michael
Microsoft Word: Nothing gets done in your office without your involvement. Despite your complex interface and needlessly-bloated feature list, you are capable of surprisingly effective output from time to time. This doesn’t always justify your hefty sticker price. When it’s time to bang something out quickly, you’re the number one choice. (That’s what she said.)

dwight
World of Warcraft: You exist in a largely self-created and somewhat disturbing virtual world, subsisting on beets and home-brewed grog. Your interactions with others are often punctuated by outbursts of surprising violence.

pam
Apple Keynote: You may not be not the industry standard in your category, but your look-and-feel is irresistibly appealing to most users, and your output is far superior to better-known counterparts in the business world.

jim
Apple Mail: Despite occasional shortcomings in your feature set, you are a generally capable program that (usually) gets the job done. Excellent integration with Keynote.

angela
Microsoft Excel: You can be a capable tool for the user who knows how to tap into the surprisingly powerful hidden features behind your somewhat utilitarian interface.

andy
social.zune.net: You think of yourself as colorful and entertaining, though you’re generally an also-ran that seems to be trying too hard.

phyllis
Print Shop Pro: You’re likeable, though not very powerful. In a pinch, you can get the job done, though no one actually depends on you for anything important.

ryan
Limewire: You’re very good at finding free music online, but prone to opening up the office to disruptive malware invasions. Admin removes you from the servers from time to time, though you always seem to eventually reappear.

meredith
Microsoft Movie Maker: Low-end users find you the cheapest and simplest tool. Upside: generally available. Downside: Your output is hopelessly cheesy.

kelly
Microsoft Word’s Paperclip: You think of yourself as flashy and in-your-face, but your occasional appearances serve mainly to call attention to yourself and annoy users trying to get some real work done.

stanley
Back To My Mac: Interface can be prickly and slow to respond. You work, most of the time, but aren’t usually in a hurry to get the job done.

oscar
iPhone OS: Capable worker with slightly gay interface.

creed
RoboMILF.com: Bizarre interface, disturbing content. Surprisingly entertaining on an occasional basis.

kevin
HotCubicleChicks.com: Don’t you have some real work to do?
