"Gruntled" on prime time

I didn't see it myself — I was busy driving to New Jersey, which would make anyone gruntled — but apparently "The Office" took a page from this blog last night. (Spoilers follow if you missed it.) In an episode entitled "The Negotiation," Roy attempts to attack Jim (your typical office-romance-love-triangle-workplace-violence story) and gets pepper-sprayed by Dwight. Later, Michael is discussing the incident with Jan:

It was a crime of passion, Jan, not a disgruntled employee. Everyone here is extremely gruntled.

If TV says it's a word, who am I to argue?

I saw that and immediately thought of your blog. Good show.

I had the same thought when I saw it!

What we need now is the gruntled employee index on which we can base HR strategy and measure progress!?
