Last night on The Voice, Christina Aguilera had 2 of her singers sing Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe". This morning Amy and I were talking about the performances, and that song in particular because it is a hard song to sing because it has a lot of words. Then, about an hour later, this song randomly played on my Google shuffle.

Music Ironicness: Maroon 5 - Lucky Strike
Today when I was driving home from work, I heard Gym Class Heroes' song "Stereo Hearts" that featured Adam Levine. That got me to wondering what Maroon 5's new single was going to be, now that The Voice is on. Because, in seasons in the past, Adam Levine has has done a new song. One season it was "Payphone" and another time it was "Love Somebody". So, as I'm thinking about this, I turn the radio station, and low and behold, the first song I hear is "Lucky Strike". I have NEVER heard this on the radio before, and I have not seen ANYWHERE that this was going to be their next single! So ironic!

Twitter Interaction: Hayden Moss
I'm so excited! I got a reply from Hayden Moss! He's one of my favorite Big Brother winners (season 12). He's also on this season of Survivor. Tonight, his quote from the episode was used as the title of the episode...quite an honor! It was "One Armed Man and 3 Moms", referring to their devastating defeat to a much less physical team. After I posted about it on Twitter (from my Reality Bites account), he replied!

We were talking about photos in the catalog and ones that featured employees who no longer work at Lehman's. One of our favorites is the 6-in-1 scarf. We were laughing about a certain former employee who had long hair and how funny it would look in the scarf and that it might not fit as a hat. That made me think of when Hanky wouldn't apologize to George about saying that his large head would stretch out the neck of his finely knit sweater.

At work we were talking about people who always chit chat on the phone when they call and how you never want to answer the phone when they call because you know you can never get them off. We joked about having an excuse that there was another call coming in, etc. That made me think of when Jerry had a list of excuses written down that he could use when this guy he didn't like would ask him to do something....it was like an "excuse rolodex".
This video is later in the episode when they are using some of the excuses (unfortunately I couldn't find the one where Elaine finds his list and adds some of her own ideas to it.)

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.

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.

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!
