For years, The Office was such a dominant presence in our
pop culture lives that yesterday, when we learned it was the 10th
anniversary of the U.S. pilot's premiere,it almost didn't seem right. Hadn't the beloved show been around for even longer than a decade? (Not that we want to age Steve
Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and company prematurely.)
To mark the
occasion, several of the cast members — along with legions of their fans — took
to Twitter and Instagram to share sweet messages to each other, along with
some fun behind-the-scenes photos we'd never seen before. On this day after their 10-year anniversary, we thought we'd gather some of their best.
Man, 10 years ago today... This happened! pic.twitter.com/6s7VxkyWoU

His onscreen wife, Jenna Fischer, shared the kind of memory
we can all related to:
Happy Ten Years Office! Best years. Best Friends. Miss freezing our butts off in the conference room at 7:15am. Always the best laughs.

Amazingly, Baumgartner did that while also celebrating
something a tiny bit bigger in his life: the birth of his daughter, Brylee.
Rainn Wilson couldn't seem
to believe the anniversary was here already:
10 years ago The Office debuted on NBC. Wow. What a ride.

The best bit of nostalgia, however, came from Angela Kinsey (Angela), who
took over Yahoo! TV's Instagram to share her own collection of BTS pics.
