We here at the Quiet Pool Perspective are proud to welcome Poolie voter Mags, who has some nice things to say about Erin Hannon, Ellie Kemper, and the people of The Office.

                                                                                                                                                                 

As you, dear reader, are no doubt aware, a vile and loathsome race walks among us. They have been living and breeding alongside and among our ranks for millennia. I refer not to the vampires, werewolves or other supernatural beings which have been recently popularized. I refer not to the CJs.

I speak of the soulless (some believe this is up for debate, it is not), pale and unwanted ranks of the gingers. Caused by the incurable disease gingervitis, gingers are characterized by their pale, freckled skin and red hair. My reasons for making you aware of this affliction are two fold:

1. As a general public service announcement
2. To make sure you are aware that not all people with red hair are gingers

While certainly the vast majority of redheads are rightly treated as second class citizens, there exists the occasional diamond in the rough.

I bring your attention to Erin Hannon, receptionist on NBC’s The Office. Erin has spent recent seasons of the office bringing her positive attitude, vibrant smile and caring demeanor to viewers. Like most redheads, Erin grew up in foster care and spent long periods in the hospital. By many accounts, she did not have an enjoyable childhood, yet she brings a great energy and enthusiasm as the scatter brained receptionist at Dunder Mifflin Scranton. Also she can be pretty cute when she doesn’t rock the horrible Asian bangs haircut.

Congrats to Erin, this year’s winner of The Phoebe Buffay Award For Best Female Character in a Comedy Series.
