November 22, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #107
Diane was thinking about names for her nephew or niece. She thought Jerry would be a good one, then her brother (also a Seinfeld fan) could call him "my little Jerry", like Kramer's rooster that he called Little Jerry.
She thought 7 would be good for a girl...which led into all the other names that Jerry came up with for George when Susan's cousin decided to name their baby 7, stealing his name. I also suggested Puddy, as in David Puddy, and he could call him his "little Puddy".

Twitter Follow and Favorites
Yesterday, one of my 2 favorite Survivors was eliminated: Aras Baskauskas. I sent him a couple messages in support of him, and he favorited them both :)
I also had Michael Skupin, a 2-time Survivor follow my Reality Bites Twitter account.

Music Ironicness: Starsailor - Poor Misguided Fool and Starsailor - Jeremiah
Today, Amy had a customer who really had some problems. Among other things, he wanted US to delete the items from his cart on the website. All he would have to do is hit the delete button next to the items...and it's not like there were a ton of items. Ridiculous! As Amy was finishing up the call, the song I was listening to was "Poor Misguided Fool" by Starsailor. Haha!
Jeremiah needed a ride home from work...a few minutes after he emailed me, the song I was listening to was "Jeremiah" by Starsailor. Weird!

Seinfeld References #104, 105 & 106
November 21, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #104
This morning, Shelley commented on yesterday's marketing campaign where customers could win a free gift. She said someone ended up getting 2. She said "how did R. P. Zimmerman get 2 free gifts? He must have cheated the system". I said we need to put him on "the list", and before I could say any more, Diane said "you got me blacklisted at Hop Sings!". I was going to say, "Shelley named names", but Diane beat me to the reference. This was referring to when Elaine was dating a communist and she used his name, and got him blacklisted from the Chinese Restaurant Hop Sings.

Jenn posted a funny meme on Facebook that said: "I told my friend she drew her eyebrows on too high. She looked surprised..." Immediately Heather and I thought of Uncle Leo. He opened a bomb that was meant for Jerry and it burned off his eyebrows. Later, Elaine drew him some eyebrows that made him look angry, and the doctor told Leo he didn't care for his demeanor, and wrote it in his chart.

For lunch, Diane had beef...something or other, in a can. I told her, at least it wasn't Beef-a-rino. She then proceeded to sing the song "Beef-a-rino, fit for king and queen-o." This was referring to the food that Kramer fed to his horse Rusty when he was driving a handsome cab.
And then, when she walked by my desk, she said "Rusty!" Because after the Beef-a-rino, Rusty was a little gassy.

This morning Shelley was trying to call Becky. She dialed her extension twice, and then was called by John at Mt. Hope telling her that she was on the paging system there twice! How did that happen? My first thought was that her "rines" were crossed--referring to when George's mom's lines were crossed and she ended up talking to (who she thought was) a Chinese woman. She also happened to be dating Jerry, and she mistakenly told Jerry that the "rines" were crossed.

Seinfeld Quote Quiz
On Facebook there was a quiz to test your knowledge of Seinfeld quotes. They give a picture or a gif and you guess the quote by guessing letters Hangman-style. I always knew I was good with Seinfeld quotes, and this just proves. 12 out of 12 baby! I got no wrong letter guesses, and to be honest, I could have typed the words exact even without the help of Hangman.

Music Ironicness: Green Day - Stop When The Red Lights Flash
Today, I used the phrase "out of sight, out of mind". About 1/2 hour later, the song "Stop When the Red Lights Flash" by Green day played. In that song are the words "out of sight, out of mind"...weird!

Twitter Followers: Jeff Gutt and Alex & Sierra
I'm so excited that not 1, but 2 X Factor acts are now following me!
Jeff Gutt was one of my favorites last season, and for some stupid reason, he didn't make it to the live shows. I don't know what they were thinking to cut him. He came back and he is killing it! I love everything he sings. It is so clear that he is in a completely different league than the competition (besides Alex & Sierra of course).
Alex & Sierra are a boyfriend/girlfriend singing duo. They are the cutest couple, and have amazing voices. They do covers of songs but change them up to suit their unique style. They are doing very well in the competition and seem to be one of Simon's favorites.
They started following me on both of my Twitter accounts: my personal account as well as my Reality Bites account.

November 7, 2013: Seinfeld Reference #101
The Marketing Dept. sent out Lehman's promotional email about getting ready for Thanksgiving, and it said "Family Feast". The very first thing I thought of was the Kenny Roger's chicken episode when Newman had ordered and they were calling his order and the guy says "Number 67: Family Feast".

We went to the P. Graham Dunn Open House and were grabbing some snacks at a table. Next thing we know, Diane is suddenly at the table. She had "sidled" up without us even noticing. This reminded me of "The Sidler" who always sidled up to Elaine at work and took credit for work that he didn't help with, so she gave him Tic Tacs to carry so she could hear him coming.

Amy and I were discussing last night's The Voice and I was trying to describe Josh Logan to her to remember which one he was. I said he was the really bald one, who normally wears a hat. She said, "oh, him...he was bald, bald." As soon as she said that, I thought of when George said that a woman was "Bald. BALD, bald", after saying that he was set up on a date with a bald woman.
