About Seinfeld:
Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

I always enjoy the fact that Jason Alexander played George with just enough anxiety that whatever he's doing, you kind of hope he pulls it off, and with just enough smugness that you absolutely hope he fails (for instance, his face at 3:23 when he thinks Penske will catch him and at 4:20 when he's certain Tuttle won't). ETA: Also, it's worth taking a moment to enjoy the absurdity of him thinking that Penske would visit the office and figure out that he didn't do the work in the file, while thinking that the guy who owns the place would be fooled by him taking someone else's old work and moving it into a new folder (that's a Kruger level of incompetence).

When I lived in Houston I overheard a conversation on a city bus! One young man asked another how did he ever get hired at a company called Grocery Supply?!? He answered that he was down on his luck and really really needed a job and went to apply there one day! It was a very large company! Say while walking around, he saw a female leading a group of people thru and just fell in behind with them! They were NEW HIRES! HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PAPERS BUT SAYS HE JUST BLUFFED HIS WAY INTO A JOB! SAYS FIRST FEW DAYS EVERY TIME SOMEONE ASKED FOR THIS OR THAT HE JUST KEPT CLAIMING HE TURNED IT IN TO PERSONNEL ALREADY! FINALLY someone brought him a folder full of papers to fill out and sign, APOLOGIZING FOR LOSING THE ORIGINALS! SAID THAT WAS 3 YEARS PRIOR AND HE'D BEEN WORKING THERE EVER SINCE... YEAH! 😁😀😂

My girlfriend's father once got me an office job where there was absolutely no need for me to be there. So I spent all day, every day, for an entire summer, using my fingernails to manually remove staples from used index cards... bend one side of the staple... bend the other side of the staple... press the 2 pointy ends against the table... grasp the flat end and pry it out... then place it on the stack. I think he just didn't want me spending the whole day with his daughter. Smart man. But it's amazing what people get paid to do.
