Today was an incredibly stressful day at work, filled with tediously detailed note making on spreadsheets to document procedures with our new software. After just about 8 hours straight, my mind is like mush! I can't think clearly about anything. So, as I'm leaving work, I get into my car, and the first song that I hear on the radio is Muse's "Madness"...madness is exactly what I felt like I was slipping into. 'Mad' is what the software was making me...

Music Ironicness: The Fray - Munich
Yesterday, I watched the movie Munich with Eric Bana and Daniel Craig. It's about the shootings and hostage situation at the 1972 Olympic games in Munich.
Today, I'm listening to my random playlist on Google Play, and the song Munich by The Fray comes on. So weird!

Rob Cesternino - Twitter
Rob Cesternino is a former Survivor contestant. He competed on Season 6: Amazon, and came in 3rd. He's a huge reality TV show fan and he has a website, blog, podcast and more in which he discusses all things Survivor, Big Brother, etc. Today he was discussing something that happened on Big Brother Canada. I made a comment on his tweet and he then Favorited it. Below is his original tweet and my comment.
A little backstory on his tweet and what his article was about, so that my comment makes more sense:
A little backstory on his tweet and what his article was about, so that my comment makes more sense:
During the after hours of the show, we get to see "behind the scenes" goings-on. Often "Big Brother" talks to the houseguests. Sometimes he will tell them to "please stop talking about production." So, since Rob was talking about production, I thought it would be funny to tell him to "stop talking about production."

We're doing a game show theme for our employee recognition banquet this year, and we're in the planning stages right now. We are going to be doing versions of Family Feud and The Price is Right. Today as we were discussing ways to set up the games, I was reminded of the time that Kramer moved the discarded Merv Griffin set into his apartment and held "shows" with Newman, Jerry, Elaine and George. He asked them questions and even had a tape playing the theme music.

The Marketing team at Lehman's was talking about a product photo, that happened to include peas. Diane then said "She ate her peas one at a time. She once ate corn niblets...but she scooped 'em."
I laughed behind my cubicle walls, because I knew exactly what she was referring to. It was the episode where Jerry wanted to break up with a girl because she ate her peas one at a time. The whole quote is:
"Well, you know, we were having dinner the other night, and she's got this strangest habit. She eats her peas one at a time. You've never seen anything like it. It takes her an hour to finish them. I mean, we've had dinner other times. I've seen her eat Corn Niblets. But she scooped them."
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the video clip with that exact quote, but I did find one of the incident where the woman was actually eating her peas one at a time.

Music Ironicness: Weezer - Beverly Hills
Yesterday in training, I told my trainees to just pick a random customer and start an order. Mark put in a random number, and laughed at the name of the customer that came up: Beverly Hill. He said he just really wanted to add an s to the end of her name. We all had a good laugh. Then this morning, I was sharing this story with Shonda, and again, we had a good laugh about it...wondering if this was her maiden name or her married name. Then not long after (maybe an hour or so), I'm at my desk, working on my computer, Google Play is on shuffle...as usual. About halfway through the song, I realized what was playing: Weezer's "Beverly Hills"!!! So ironic! I can't tell you the last time I heard this song! It was so long ago. What are the odds?? I just love when this stuff happens, and I know Shonda always enjoys when I tell her "it happened again". Haha!

Diane and I were talking about voice mails and voice mail recordings (I don't even remember the original discussion), but somehow we got to the time that George lets his phone go to the answering machine and his recording is a song:
Believe it or not George isn't at home. Please leave a message at the beep. I must be out or I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home.
