The Window

I heard somewhere that the confessionals in The Office reflected where a person was going. I found this hidden message fascinating.

Those who sat in front of the window that showed the inside of the office weren’t going anywhere far from Dunder Mifflin. They had no future outside of the paper company. Those who sat in front of the window that showed the outside and parking lot were those who were going somewhere. At times, some characters switch. Pam starts in front of the inside window and later pivots to the outside window, often sitting side by side with Jim.

If someone was filming your confessional today— which window are you sitting in front of?
