Seinfeld Reference #93

September 25, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #93

I overheard Amy on the phone with a customer and she was entering a gift message that said something like "...from Gammy". Amy first put "Grammy", but the customer corrected her that it was Gammy. When Amy said it and repeated it, I immediately thought it sounded like the little kid on Seinfeld who was calling his Gammy...but he was getting Elaine because his Gammy died and when Elaine switched phone numbers, she got the Gammy's number.

Seinfeld References #91, 92 & 93

September 24, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #91

Diane said in their marketing meeting that someone said something about whether or not to use an exclamation mark. That reminded her of the episode where Elaine's boyfriend didn't like to use exclamation marks and that made her mad, and then she went overboard and used too many.

Shelley recognized a lady she hadn't seen for many, many years, and she said she had the same hair style as years ago. We talked about when you find a hairstyle that suits, you might as well keep it. And that reminded me of the "delicate genius" physical therapist that was Elaine's friend and they all thought she had a very old fashioned hairstyle and didn't want to tell her, so they thought if Kramer met her that he would definitely say something, but he did the opposite and said he liked her hair and that she should keep it.



The hair discussion then led into the episode that Elaine's boyfriend told her she had a big head, and then everywhere she went weird things happened like a bird flew into her head and a cab driver made her scrunch down in her seat because he couldn't see out the back window.

Seinfeld Reference #90

September 19, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #90

Shelley used some of our Lehman's peanuts for a photo shoot, and they were put out for people to eat. Sarah asked what was wrong with them (because sometimes we get "past date" items that we don't want to send to customers). Shelley said nothing was wrong with them. I joked that they had fallen on the floor and were put back in. Then Diane quoted "it was above the rim"...from the episode where George ate an eclair out of the trash and he justified it by saying it was above the rim, was still on the doily and he knew who had taken the bite out of it.

Music Ironicness: Santana & Rob Thomas - Smooth

This morning I was working in the new software at work, and I was trying to come up with a name to do a fake order for. For some reason, "Rob Thomas" popped up in my head, so that's what I used. As soon as I got back to my desk and turned on my music, the very first random song to be played was: Santana & Rob Thomas - Smooth. Weird!
